ABOUT ME
Whenever I write, I never feel completely satisfied. This year, I've learned to more thoroughly edit my work. Yet, the sense that there is something more to be added still nags me. Typically, I begin my papers with numerical paragraph headings to see where I want to go with my thesis. I fill in the paragraphs, and often move them around. This method usually, but not always, helps me to articulate my thoughts. Sometimes I get stuck, I'm not sure what I want to say. But, if can ‘sleep on it,’ I know how to proceed when I wake up. I ran into some difficulty, however, with the creative writing assignment. Although I understand there are different styles of writing, that assignment was an odd experience for me because the process was imaginative and fluid. I had to ‘loosen up’ and deviate from past formulas. I don't know if I can ever think of my work as finished, but I'm not going to play it safe anymore.
