writing my draft/essay

the way i write my draft paper is by usually jumping in it and going with the flow. I usualy end up with a really sucky paper and i have to re-write most paragraphs. So what i would like to do this time is actually think out the process of writitng the paper. i know last semester i talked about using an outline, that would really help me out so i could have a flow throught my transitions between each paragraph and people can better understand what my essay is about.  When writing my essay i would like to let other people read it and give feed back that way i can get an understanding of what is clear and what isn't and also what i need work on. I dont expect this essay to be the  best one ive written so far but i do hope to improve my writing skills to becoming a good writer.
