Beginning Writing Philosophy

What are types of writing that you do?

There are several types of writing that I have encountered and familiarized myself throughout my life. Since, I was a child I have dreamed of being a writer and have always challenged myself to improve my creative writing, which is the main type of writing I do. Outside of an educational assignment, such as an essay, the only kinds of writing that I do is creative writing. Creative writing could also be considered one of my few recreations that I entertain myself in my spare time. I have become acquainted with the art of the short story, the poem and the novel throughout my artistic attempts. Suffice to say, my earliest encounters with these notions was elementary in its method or form. In my educational experiences, I have become quite fond of the essay, almost all of my impressions of this institution have been thoroughly positive. Those few that have not been positive have simply because of my own disdain for the instructor's method of teaching and evaluating. Otherwise, I adore the method, the logic, the structure and the pure joy of the construction of the thesis essay.

How do you approach writing or start that writing?

Throughout my life I have devoted my time to the reading of several self-help type articles and books that try to explain the best way that the writer begins the writing process. I have also found that I cannot understand anything that the majority of these authors are even doing in their writing process. To be completely frank and honest, I don't even know how I approach writing. I suppose that the standard answer to this question would include the usage of an outline of thoughts, going through several drafts and finally arriving upon some plucked, fussy and flawless manuscript. I will say honestly that I do not understand this sort of a process nor have I ever implemented into into my writing. Perhaps you could also accurately describe my writing process and my final result also to be lacking on account of this. It's possible to say that my own enchantment and infatuation with my words could be a reason as to why I very rarely go through any massive editing process.

So, to clearly and adequately describe how I start my writing process or approach any type of writing I am going to be doing, I don't know how. For any sort of creative writing that I am going to do be writing, I will admit that I have completely no control over my own ability. My words are prompted solely by inner inspiration from my muse, who controls all of the words are penned to my paper. With my educational struggles in writing I can only complete my assignments based upon my own hands reaching the keyboard, beginning to type and some time later I will have a completed product, like I am doing this moment. Simply then, my writing, even in my essays are my streams of thought as they are coming from my muse. That is the only way that I can describe how I approach writing, or perhaps more specifically, how my muse approaches my writing, a power I cannot make the decision to ignore. So to make a long story short on how I approach writing, I request of and channel the voice of my muse.

How do templates affect or impact that process?

This question is somewhat amusing, reflecting on my response to how I approach writing and my process and the answer will have to be somewhat ambiguous. The only templates that I have ever implemented into my writing process would be with an essay and that is only in the format of following a logical line of thought as I have been instructed. Otherwise, templates, simply in supposition, could have no affect on a process that is not technically a process. I suppose if I made the decision to employ a template into this process of writing then, I could in fact structure my writing around that sort of an idea. To be frank however, I think less of the idea, at least thus far, as being more of simply using a line of logic rather than using a template. In that case then a line of logic would affect my process, but only in the bettering of the line of logics that I already use. Perhaps I will learn more lines of logic as I further my scope of writing, but otherwise I think that templates would only very minimally affect my process, as they probably would already be something I would already be employing in my writing.
