Okay, so maybe that title was a bit risque, but it holds true when I talk about this paper. I've never faced a task such as this, using one source and analyzing it to the point where we've developed five pages.
It's quite daunting. The more I think that this paper was crazy to write, I could see some sense in it.
It really has helped me identify my very sporadic writing pace, I can come up with 200 words in 15 min, and then be stuck for an hour, but that must have been the procrastination setting in. I sat stuck at around 700 for a very long while, analyzing away until I found a whole new layer of rhetoric to develop. This was a challenge I warily accepted and it ended up paying off. This assignment was a real eye-opener for me and let me know that I was in a whole new playing field as a writer in college.
I'm sure my editing is going to take a huge hit too, usually my rough drafts and final drafts look incredibly similar, but I'm almost positive that won't be the case this time.
I was one of the lucky ones who was only up until 1:30 finishing up the draft, but I'm still going to have to pace myself in the future so stuff like that doesn't happen often.
