10 writing habits

The habit that I already possess is number 8. Exchange drafts with others. My sister is amazing when it comes to writing so I always have her correct my paper for me. She has me write it how I want it and then she tells me what she thinks I should do and then I will fix it. It takes her about an hour to write a 4 pg paper and it takes me about 3 days. I'm not good at writing, grammar, or spelling, so she is nice enough to clean up the mess I have made of the paper. It helps me a lot while I'm writing my paper to know that its ok if it sounds retarded because my sister and whoever else reads it will help me change things that I don't notice are wrong. The habit I would like to try out is number 2. Thinking rhetorically from the start. I don't really think about what effect I want to have on readers. I just write and see how it turns out and than I rearrange as I need to. So my next paper I write, I'm going to try to use this habit and see how well it helps me.
