I have written multiple papers in my lifetime as a student, and there are a few reoccurring problems that I encounter when doing rough drafts. The one that I generally encounter first is starting my paper. I may have the time to start the paper, but I would rather procrastinate my paper until the last minute. Also, It is difficult for me to decide how I should open my paper. Ways that I overcome this is brainstorming. As soon as I come up with some ideas for what I want to say, I feel accomplished and want to keep working on my paper. Also if I brainstorm early enough, I’ll try to begin writing multiple drafts of my paper.
Another problem I commonly run into is not proofreading my drafts. I usually only read for content and my mind runs over the misspelled words and fills in the words that I thought that I typed there, but may not have included. The best way I have found to get around this is giving the paper to my friend and having him/her read through the paper for grammatical errors.
