Writing

Writing for me is a creative act of expression. I must be in a very quiet place, preferable a library or my office where there are no distractions and many resources at my disposal. Before I sit to write, I spend several minutes and sometimes hours brainstorming and tossing around different scenarios of the particular topic I am writing about. I make sure to have pen and paper handy to make notes of different points to touch on. This is the most challenging part of writing for me. Once I have my thoughts organized in a somewhat bullet notation, I can begin to elaborate on each point which usually flows very quickly....then voila, first draft is born.
