Research

The hardest part of the research process for me is finishing. I've had many interests in the past, and I go through a lot of sources for a good working knowledge of my subject. That makes getting quotes easy, and after reading so much, telling the good sources from the bad becomes easier. Once I have this knowledge though, it's hard to sit down and write it. What usually ends up happening is I write it out in one big burst, then edit it over and over. Maybe that's okay, but I don't usually have much time to edit until the paper is due. (much of that is procrastination).
The easiest part of the research process is the initial research of the subject. Keeping it all organized in my mind isn't too hard, especially if I'm interested in the material.
