They way I comunicate everyday

     I adapt the way I talk and write everyday for my kids.  I try to explain things in the simplest form for my two and four year old.  Writing with my four year old is a lesson in patience.  I have to come up with some unique sentences to keep him engaged.  It can be fun.
     I sometimes fine that what I say to my kids, I carry over to my work and will use the same terms.  For example, no no, or I got to go potty.  Believe me, I get some odd looks.
     Lets not forget about my two teenagers.  Their language is foreign to me.  Words like, straight edge, which to my understanding is some type of tattoo that Dakoda thinks is cool and likes to flip his mom out about by saying, when he turns eighteen that he is going to get it.  With my daughter Brenda, well lets just say that she talks to fast for me to understand. With the exception of when they want something, then they can be very clear and to the point with multiple supporting reasons why I should buy this or let them do that.  Its a lot like the PEE structure.
     The PEE structure and thesis statements are very important at the academic level.  Most if not all of our papers we write for any class will benefit from both.  Just as my kids get what they want, we will get better grades if we are clear and to the point with multiple supporting points with a good conclusion.

My writing process

     I normally start with brainstorming.  I get the main idea of my paper and write it down in the center of a piece of paper, then I start drawing line from it to other supporting ideas.  Then I draw lines from  the supporting ideas to ideas that support those. I do this till I get the basis of my paragraphs sometimes those ideas get combined.
     I then try to put them in some type of logical order.  I want the paper to flow well.  I then start to reword and redraft my paper to best convey what I am trying to get a cross to my readers.  I also will read it out loud to see how it sounds.  I always found it strange how in your mind what you write sounds fine till you read it. 
     I also write like I am now just kind of winging it.  I will go back and reread and fix as I go along.  Hopefully, I don't miss to much. I will also count and recount my words to make sure I get to the correct amount.  I wish this thing had a counter on it.  It would make it easier, although if I did not count every word, I most assuredly would have missed that extra space I put in by accident.
