Blog 9: due 4/6
After looking at my first-page draft, I decided to use the number 1 “To Say Something Better” writing strategy. After doing so, this strategy revealed to me that I have a lot I can expand on within my topic. Since all the ideas in my topic can easily be connected to one another, I need to find a way to bridge these ideas together in order to make one central idea. With this strategy, it allows me to do so because I’m taking a sentence I have already made, and I expand on it, going deeper into detail and when I talk more about this certain topic, it allows me to make connections to previous statements I made. I chose this exercise since it helps me out in expanding the piece that I wrote. It prevents a brain block and I am able to write more. Currently, the most difficult part of writing the essay is attempting to get all my ideas down and trying to tie them all in, and make them make sense. However, after this, I shouldn’t have too many issues, just the initial writing part first.
I certainly agree with you that getting the ideas down and choosing what is best and what should be tabled is the hardest part.
One common trend I see is that since this isn’t a traditional research paper we all have trouble writing about art. For me, it’s certainly been revealing, glad to see this revision is working out for you.
