Drafting is the first thing we do as
writers and drafting has many methods, but most importantly is what happens why
drafting, such as activities, thoughts, obstacles, etc.
When I start drafting I always get my
snacks, hookah, redbull ready. Also, I always make sure that I don't need
anything else while writing except going to the restroom. I do all that because
I like to set my mind clear so I only focus in whatever I am writing about. But
yes, I do have other distractions. I always ask myself this "why even I
felt ready, is still got distracted somehow." for example, my cat, it will
sound silly, but seriously, my cat is my biggest distraction. Many times. I
would be writing like 4 pages of lab report or an essay for my English class
and she would hub on top of my laptop and turn it off and loss all my work. So,
I managed to save my work every 10-15 minutes. In addition, I always work on
drafting at night. I actually a night person, so all my work is done at night. I
would start from 8:30 to 2:30 and then stop to sleep. Not mentioning I take
like 10 minutes breaks when I feel like I need one. Also, I listen to music
while drafting. Sometimes depends on the type of music that am listening to. Most
of the time I realized that sad music would let me work longer than hype
music. In this process, I do a better job working
than any other process that I have experienced before.One of the
things I fail to accomplish is describe "how" things happened in
whatever I am writing about. To be honest I still do not know why I fail to do
so. Maybe because that English is my second language where I cannot understand
between the lines. I guess I need to read more and more articles and develop my
understanding of authors’ entire thoughts.
