This first essay is a creative writing piece detailing a particular experience I’ve had with writing; more specifically, my response to the letters I had received during hell week and how each one varied wildly in its details, description of events and overall tone. The easiest part by far was picking the topic, this experience popped into my mind as soon as the project was assigned. However, I sat for a long while debating what the main point of this paper was going to be. In fact, I only completed the last three paragraphs the morning of the first draft’s due date and included an entire extra paragraph that was cut out completely. I also struggled a lot with overfilling my sentences, some of which upon rereading I still notice, where I go on with comma after comma describing something. Which brings me to my biggest issue in editing. After having my paper reviewed it was suggested and I agreed to have four separate paragraphs for each of the letters in place of the two I had originally. This created an extremely daunting task of changing, copy and pasting, adding and rewording sentences all over the paper. This created what I felt was a lack of cohesion in the paper. All in all, I’m happy with the outcome of the paper, but need to manage my time better in order to allow better editing.
