Types of and Approaches to Writing (2)

I use many different forms of writing all of the time. Usually, I just write on paper at school or at home, although with the growing advance of computers, I find myself typing more often than writing now. I also dabble in programming, in hopes I can work my way up to a game I hope to make eventually. I also e-mail a bit and I'm starting to text message somewhat, but very, very little.
I usually start paper and computer writing by just sitting down and figuring out what's necessary to finish what I'm starting. For school, I follow the assignment or my own guidelines to receive information from the text. For my own purposes, usually for writing down information concerning my games, I start until the urge to keep writing is gone, then I leave the writing piece until I feel like continuing it again. For programming, I attempt to write out some combinations and codes, but usually give up when I become repeatedly frustrated. For e-mails, I start by identifying what needs to be said, then I type it out. I only tart a text when I don't feel like talking on the phone, but have to give information to someone.
Templates don't affect much of my writing types, like e-mails, programming, or texts, but they do affect my regular writing or typing. In school writing (such as essays, where I will actually use specific templates mentioned in the previous text read) I use the "they say / I say" template and the "flip / flop" template. As previously explained in my first post, I use them together to create a paper that mostly uses the " they say / I say" template, facts to hit the points hard, and the "flip / flop" template to cover mistakes and soften the harshness of my usual way of writing and giving out facts.
