Fairy Tales of Researching

When I wrote my original draft I was stressed about getting it done that I didn't care about anything I actually wrote. However, now that I'm rewriting my paper I feel like if I take it slow and don't rush I can get all of my ideas down on paper. I've never been very good about writing under pressure so I should learn how to budget time to write better. So my apologizes to Dr. Ballenger for not giving this assignment the proper attention until this week. However, I feel like what I've written in the three pages of my new draft already outshine all ten pages of my last draft. I'm not sure that I'll have ten pages of this draft by class tomorrow but I know what I want to say and I'm pleased with how it's coming out at this point. I'm sorry I'm not quite following what you want us to do but I feel like in order to get good content this is what I need to do.

The reason I'm so pleased with how this is coming out so far is because I've realized how to possibly keep it interesting. I'm writing my paper in the style of a fairy tale. Not a very good fairy tale mind you but I love my intro now and I'm hoping I can find clever ways to keep the feeling of the beginning going. Hopefully my group can give me good feedback on what I have tomorrow and I hope they like this version. I couldn't even bring myself to read my last draft because of how bad it was, hopefully tomorrow this draft will look as good as it does now!

  1. It's exciting, isn't it, when you start to actually care about what you're writing about and actually feel like you have something to say?
