Writing Class Reflection

Reviewing all of the writing assignments I have done in this class this far into the semester, I have noticed a few trends and habits I have acquired while writing. Thinking back on each assignment, and the time it took me to write each one, I have noticed that I write better at night time than during the day. Every single assignment I have turned in this semester has been done the night before the paper is due, in the middle of the night.

These two papers were much harder for me to write simply because they required more work. I used the same writing process for all three papers however, I needed a loud and comfortable environment and it had to be dark outside for me to complete the

I have tried on multiple occasions to sit in the computer lab and write during the day, but I simply cannot stay focused long enough to get anything done. I think that the reasoning behind this is because there are just not as many distractions at night time, people are asleep and social media is not constantly updating and people are not texting and calling me to cause distractions. My mind is very scattered and a lot of times it takes me hours to get one single assignment done because I am very bad at staying focused, but at night time it is not even a
