According to my Comp textbook, "Prewriting techniques are like the warm-ups you do before going out to jog -- they loosen you up, get you moving, and help you develop a sense of well-being and confidence." It also states, "Of all the prewriting techniques, keeping a journal (daily or almost daily) is the one most likely to make writing a part of your life."
That probably means I'd get more out of it if I wrote my entries before I spend hours studying and working on my assignments. I should be warming up here first. I should be making it a priority instead of something I do in my spare time.
I'm too brain-dead to post anything worth reading right now. I'm feeding the cat before she starts chewing on my textbooks and then hitting the sack.

'they loosen you up, get you moving, and help you develop a sense of well-being and confidence', this reads like an advert for Bran.
Overall though, I do think that writing begets writing, which I think is what they are trying to say.

LMAO!
Did they tell you how to put a time limit on pre-writing. I'd never get to the studying.
@Vince: I think that is what they are trying to say and I think they are right.
@Heather: I'm not kidding. If she doesn't get food she starts chewing on whatever is available until you feed her.
@Anita: No. I could read and comment on blogs all day. I think 30 minutes to an hour total for posting and commenting is reasonable.
I used to pre-write a page before I began a literature exam. It really worked for me!
@Rebecca S.: The more I write the more ideas I get for future posts. I get more ideas from responding to comments and reading others blogs. I can then take some of these ideas and develop them into something more. I think it is working for me, too.
