Journal 2

           My essay changed significantly throughout the drafts. At first my essay really was a “Shitty Rough Draft” I just spit out everything I could think of and not just because, I had procrastinated. I felt that this helped me a lot in the future because, I could edit and change things around without worrying about word count. So overall, I think the biggest improvement from the first draft to the last was the overall structure and quality. I really learned to just let the writing happen and not try to control everything. I really enjoyed the conference because, I felt it gave me clear direction and an understanding of exactly what was being asked. There was no gray area for me to mess up on.

            If I had another week to work on this essay there is probably not much I would change. I would probably expand on some of the subplots and refine some of my word choices but I am already happy with my draft. I would certainly rewrite the project prompt in the syllabus if I could. When I first read it, I was terrified of this assignment. It asks for a ton of things to be included and makes the paper seem over bearing. I would dumb it down a lot and make everything overly clear.
