My revising has gotten as far as rereading my paper over and over trying to make sense of the point I am trying to make. I had a lot of trouble delving into this essay to begin with because I chose to write about a topic that I have a lot of conflicting opinions about. We all have personal experience with forgiveness and I believe that sometimes when you are so close to a subject it makes it harder to take a stance on.

The biggest problem I’m having with approaching my essay is figuring out what the appropriate order would be to make it flow the best. I think the root problem of that is the fact that I’m having trouble sticking to one direction. I’m going to try writing on a sheet of paper my thesis, and then scribble down all the things I have to say about it and then go from there. I think that will help me add some structure to my paper.

I’m excited to see the final product of my work. I know how passionate I am about the topic of forgiveness and I think that is shown through my paper, I hope it is at least! I’m really going to work hard to pull the paper together and give it some direction and it turns out to be a persuasive piece.
