My Writing Process

I consider myself to be a procrastinator. Although I did identify with some of the characteristics of heavy revisers, such as the act of writing allowing me to lay my ideas out more clearly, I am not as careful as heavy revisers seem to be. I wait too long to begin an assignment and thus multiple drafts are sacrificed and I end up trying my best to write a first or second draft that looks polished enough to be final.
As I mentioned before, I do think that my traits contain some of that of the heavy reviser, but the fact that I wait so long outweighs my borderline characteristics and places me in the procrastination category.
I think this style has more weaknesses than strengths as the sacrificing of drafts is also a sacrifice of quality and changes that I could have made. I do consider myself to be a relatively strong writer so I have had success with this method grade-wise, but I would have done better if this I had a different style of writing. I also feel that although some people work well under pressure, I don't necessarily share that trait and would most likely do better with another style.
It would most definitely say that a different approach would be beneficial to me, because then I would be able to write more drafts and think more carefully about what I want to say. The work that I would have produced would be higher quality and more thought out.
