Imagine my thoughts when my approach to writing was (accurately) described as a cartoon, a joke, in a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon strip.<br><br>I returned to McMaster University as an older student in 2019; not only did I have to complete academic requirements, but I had family and business responsibilities.  The only path to success was to finally organize how and when I wrote.  For the first time, I admitted to myself that I did need a process to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step of the process was to acknowledge some ground rules.  No matter what I write, I have to admit that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I write best when I can control the environment and minimize interruptions; therefore, my &#8220;effective writing time&#8221; is 11pm &#8211; 1am.  This is the period when I do outline, rapidly write key points in short form, and am most creative.  I can write at other times when interruptions are more common, but those times usually build on what I wrote during the midnight hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re going to be writing during the wee hours of the morning, you don&#8217;t have to be alone (try some classic Clapton &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZeDtmbt4JS4\">After Midnight<\/a>, the 1988 version)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I want to be the dominant voice in what I am writing &#8211; I see myself as a creator, not an innovator.  This appears to be a common theme of other graduate students at McMaster (see <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypicturesofdeath.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/17\/prose-and-cons-a-writing-workflow\/\">Paige&#8217;s blog<\/a> for a good description)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;m very focused on improving the quality of what I write &#8211; I will re-write the same piece before submitting it; however, I will frequently re-visit material that I have previously submitted (for grading or publication) and assess what I would have done differently, or even continue to re-write it.  I argue with myself as to whether this is a &#8220;good thing&#8221;, or a &#8220;bad thing&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I understood these rules, I developed a process to ensure that I can consistently write well.  Like all processes, especially those intended to guide one that is largely creative, it undergoes frequent updates as I understand writing, and myself, better.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a subject.  Sometimes the subject is assigned, but other times I can choose.  I frequently take a contrarian perspective; for example, I will write an academic paper about something that does not immediately interest me (such as the children of Neanderthals) or take a perspective than is unusual for me (Marxist, or feminist).  My goal in studying anthropology is to push myself to examine new perspectives, including personal ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write the skeleton of the essay.  I know that there will be an introduction, a thesis statement, a body with evidence, and a discussion \/ conclusion.  So, I write those words on separate pieces of paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I look for a dominant paper, or a review paper, associated with the subject.  After reading it, I create a strawman thesis statement to guide my reading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I rapidly review the literature, placing papers or relevant quotes in place in the skeleton, and capturing references that will be relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the skeleton is complete, I re-write the thesis statement to capture the flow of the papers.  I look at the points I have captured.  If I have done a good job at organizing the literature, there should be a workable thesis statement, a &#8220;body&#8221; that contains three or more points that support my thesis, and sufficient points to guide a discussion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now the hardest part &#8211; all I have done by this point is capture and organize some or all of the literature that exists.  What can I do to add myself to the essay?  Can I re-interpret the evidence, and create a new argument, or one that gives a new perspective?  Can I compare the evidence to other knowledge (maybe in another academic discipline), and create a new lens?  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assuming that I have found a way to take the essay beyond recapitulating the existing literature, I write.  I take all of the point form notes, random observations, SWAGs (silly wild-assed guesses), and write.  It is common at this stage that the thesis will change, the skeleton structure will be altered, and I will need to re-focus my sources to support the changes that I have made.  It can take a couple of days to make it through this stage &#8211; I write, and then put it aside, and try to return to it when my brain and its thoughts are somewhat fresh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, the editing.  I make sure that each citation is properly referenced.  I ensure that I comply with word and page counts.  If possible, I ask a friend to re-read the essay, and make sure that it makes logical sense, is well supported, and that the words support the idea.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this the best approach?  I have found it helpful, but I also have to agree with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/J._K._Rowling\">JK Rowling<\/a>, who stated:  &#8220;Sometimes the ideas just come to me. Other times I have to sweat and almost bleed to make ideas come. It&#8217;s a mysterious process, but I hope I never find out how it works.  I like a mystery, as you may have noticed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process, as outlined, is optimal; however, &#8220;optimal&#8221; rarely happens &#8211; especially when you have ADHD, and there are additional challenges to overcome.  I will discuss how I overcome some of these challenges in the next blog entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been writing for nearly 50 years, and during that time I eschewed having a writing &#8220;process&#8221;; I felt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":376,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[10,12],"class_list":["post-14","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","tag-mcmaster","tag-writing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do Writers Need a Process?
