Prewriting

Today in my Comp II class we discussed prewriting. The one thing I learned other than procrastination isn't good and everyone has some form of it is that I need to start planning and organzing my paper in advance and not wait until I sit down in front of a blank computer screen to start writing. When a teacher would tell me that a paper is due in a month and gives us what to write about I will just think about stuff in my head about what I want to write about and not start writing my paper until a couples of days before it is due. The only problem with that is when I sent down to write my paper I tend to forget what I have thought about in the previous month. I have mentioned before that I am a horrible procrastinator, but this semester I am going to keep a notebook and when I think about something I want to put in my paper I am going to write it down so I won't forget it and have it available for when I sit down and start writing my paper.
