It's not even about trying to create a catchy sentence to draw you into my writing or a strong thesis that will set up the rest of the essay. But it's just about trying to get my brain into writing mode and what I mean by that is that once I'm able to write a few sentences, I can focus on what I'm doing. write. This is when sentences will seem to start forming without having to really focus on the structure and flow of each line. Of course, there will be times when I may need to go back and reread my paragraph to adjust the grammar or add a sentence to make sure it flows properly. But I learned during this quarter that when I'm stuck and unable to get the first few sentences down on paper, I just have to write. Instead of sitting at my desk and wondering how to start my essay. I have to force myself to write about anything, it doesn't have to make sense as I write it, just writing down those first words will allow my creativity to turn into something.
