Metacognition: History Essay

I would really love to say that I have a well-structured and organized writing process. But I honestly don't. I do study what I must write about, but for the rest, I usually sit down, think about it for a few minutes, then start pulling things out of thin air. If you ask some authors what their writing process is, their eyes will go blank and the only thing they will think to say its "ummmmmmmmmmmmm.....". Seriously, I asked an author once. Anyways, for my History essays I usually brainstorm beforehand, write down a few things, and then memorize it for the next day. Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it doesn't. It tends to surprise me. I probably should improve my use of transitions and grammar. After I complete an essay, I read it over. And with this one particular essay, I read it in a southern accent! I have no idea why and what made it come along, but it did. That was probably the most surprising thing about my thinking ever. But I did like the process I used, because afterwards, I said it in a British accent and it sounded better than ever.
