For this post I read and annotated 3 reading from various authors. Here are some quotes by other writers that pertain to my style of writing. I have also provided 3 quotes by me that apply to my style of writing.

Prewriting usually take about 85% of the writer's times." - Don Murray Quote 3: " The student is encouraged to attempt any form of writing which may help him discover and communicate what he has to say." - Don Murray The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) Quote 1: "I never listen to music when I'm working.

No. Mistakes will symbolize hard work too. Humans will make a mistake, and mistakes will often show a persons mind actively at work jumping form thought to thought.
