First post

When I get an essay assignment, I usually procrastinate till it’s due in few days. When I think of an idea, I usually go to a quiet place, such as library, to not be disturbed. First I brainstorm what to write in the essay. When I got a basic idea of it, I make an outline of my essay. Then I write a rough draft and then write the actual essay. Then I read it again and revise it. I prefer typing the essay because my typing is much faster than my handwriting and also because my handwriting is pretty bad. Sometimes if the essay is too difficult, I write the essay in Korean first and then rewrite it in English. That way I can see how my essay goes more clearly and so I can organize it better. The most difficult part of writing an essay for me is finding proper words that would fit in sentence and writing the sentence in correct structure. (I had to search Korean-English dictionary to find the word ‘proper’). English is my second language, so in many times I can think of a Korean word that fits perfectly but can’t think of the word in English. Also, I often find it impossible to translate a sentence which is grammatically correct in Korean into English grammatically correctly. Sometimes, a sentence becomes very childish when I translate it to English. Beginning an essay is always very difficult too. I often just look at an empty paper until I come up with an idea of what to write. When I can’t figure out one at that moment, I often stop thinking about the essay and try to read anything that is not related to the topic of an essay. Then in few hours an idea comes up to my brain almost incidentally. That is the moment essay writing is the easiest. I begin to write an essay really quickly and the sentence goes fluent. Usually the moment is gone in few minutes and I find myself being not able to understand my own essay. Ending an essay is also very difficult. Actually, writing an essay is a task full of difficulties. I can’t think of an ending for this essay. Okay that’s it.
