Oh no, don't encourage him! I'm the one that has to put up with it even when the camera isn't rolling... Although, if it is my own incomparable wit that you're referring to, then, please, encourage away :)
Great video about the different prewriting strategies, you went into depth with them nicely. I see that you left out brainstorming though, possibly the most effective prewriting strategy according to my research, as well as my personal experience. Me and all of my buddies say that whenever we had to prewrite we'd often gravitate towards brainstorming.
hey Andrew! Thanks for the great tips and thanks some more for the humor :D! 1 question: would you do outlining first or free-writing first? I often find myself changing the outline again and again when I have new sources or ideas... and whenever the outline change, I have to re-write my paper to fit with the new approach/structure. I have like 3-4 "versions" of the paper now but none of those I'm completely happy with... What would you recommend for an intriguing and persuasive approach to outlining a paper?
Thanks for the kind words! As for freewriting vs. outlining, I think it sort of depends on the person and project. For me, when it comes to writing a paper, I usually go through a few versions of an outline, making sure I have all the sources and ideas I need before I ever start writing. I make all the changes and modifications in the outline (because it's less labor-intensive than altering a paper), and that makes the actual writing easier. For creative writing, though, I never work from an outline--I just write and figure things out as I go. What works for one project doesn't for another, so there isn't a correct answer, and it's just important to figure out what works for you. Based on what you've described, it sounds like potentially you could be moving from outline to paper too quickly: unresolved issues in the outline show up in a draft that then requires you to re-outline. It'll get easier with practice, but doing more of the troubleshooting in the outline phase (if that is what really works better for you) could be a way to cut down on full drafts.
I find the wordplays and puns incredibly funny!

Nice! I don't find myself brainstorming that often, so I'm glad you mentioned it!
I’m enjoying this series…
Glad to hear it

Besides the great video, I love the tie!
Hey thanks!
