Refreshed

Although I did not receive great enjoyment from writing this paper, I believe that it was truly beneficial to my writing process. I have always found it very difficult to perform all the brainstorming and prewriting exercises before writing, but after writing this opinion editorial, I realize how important these steps are and how they can guide and strengthen any paper that you write. I now know that it is essential, and will continue to practice these techniques on papers I write in the future. Writing an opinion editorial is difficult and requires an avid amount of research and thought construction, in future papers I plan to begin researching and thinking about my topic well before I begin to write. I believe that this will help to enhance my paper in all forms. Overall, this paper was an eye opener and has helped me realize the important aspects of pre-writing.

I agree that brainstorming was a new concept for me. It was something that I hadn't done in years and I completely lost that talent.

I agree with you about thinking about your topic beforehand. It really helps if you have an idea of what you are going to write about before you start writing.

Pre-writing has always been my weakness when it comes to papers, but i have realized how important it is and how much it can really help.

I agree and think that prewriting at times seems kind of stupid and pointless but I think especially for papers like this it is very important. I too will continue to brainstorm and draft many times before the final one is due.
