Ch. 2 Response

It is difficult for me to write in an organized manner. When the time comes to write a paper, memo, or other composition, I become impatient.  I simply begin writing, letting my words flow.  However, this is not a good practice, as my work often becomes confusing.  Sometimes I fall into logical fallacies.  This chapter was very helpful in teaching about creating outlines.    I enjoy creating outlines, though I am not in the habit of doing so.  I like the way that an outline looks, because of its structure. Having the main points more visible, and placed in a logical order (chronological, emphasis, alphabetical, etc.) is immensely beneficial to the structure of the paper.  This is also helpful when gathering all your ideas and facts together.  They can be placed under the main points in the same way that arrows can be placed in a quiver, in easy reach.   I want to break my bad habit, and begin each project with a well-organized outline.
