Reflection on First Paper

I thought that this was a good way to take a step back and analysis my way of writing papers. I write best when I can have a free flow of ideas and then after I have put all my ideas onto a piece of paper or word document, I can go back and edit the ideas I've put down. This allows me to not only write in a fluid way but I find the ideas are more responsive and fresh when they are put down immediately. I've found that I end up repeating a few words or phrases during this method which I need to go back and replace with more interesting (one word I need to use less!) synonyms.
