In chapter 20 of How to Write Anything: A Guide and Reference, the main point being emphasized is collaboration. There are multiple minor points that go along and support collaboration, one of those being testing all ideas within the group. I feel like working in groups is better than by yourself because you will have others to keep you focused and on track. Also, having different ideas about a certain topic can help you expand your knowledge of that topic and help you create some of your own ideas with the better understanding that you gained from the other people and their thoughts.

The most helpful things that I read in chapters 19 through 24 were in chapter 24. I learned in chapter 24 how to get through the hard things that come with writing. Out of the things chapter 24 taught me, two things really stuck out to me and will be two that I will always remember when writing.

Number one is breaking the project into parts and not trying to do it all at once. I normally try to rush and get everything done really fast and that just overwhelms me and being overwhelmed is not a fun feeling. Number two is limiting distractions. I have a really hard time with being distraction whenever I am doing any school work, whether it be my phone, TV, or the internet. Distractions just add unnecessary time in my attempts to get anything done. I am already not a big fan of things taking too long to complete, so distractions just make that worse. I will definitely be working on limiting distractions and breaking things up so that I am not so overwhelmed.
