Better Writer

I cannot believe how much this class has already helped me. Earlier this week while writing an essay for my Communications class I noticed how much I was using the concepts I have learned in this class so far. I found myself going back and reassuring that I was using exigence and I was constantly checking my thesis to assure that every paragraph was making a consistent point.

Oh! I also did a shitty first draft. I just got all my ideas and went with it. Of course it made little to no sense but I feel like it made writing it a heck of a lot easier, and I felt really good about the end result. I guess I used first and second order thinking while writing this paper. Look at me go!

Furthermore, the comments on paper gave me a lot of perspective so I intend to use those to my advantage. On a separate note, grammar help is always cool because sometimes I totally convinced that I know everything there is to know about a grammar rule, and then I come to find out “Wait… There’s more.” Which is always a good experience!

The whole moves discussion helped a lot too, because I totally thought it was going to be specifically big moves, so I am really looking forward to dissecting more of those, because once you starting reading with intention of finding “moves” you could learn how to use them in your writing, which is what our assigned reading was getting at. To be a good writer you must read like the wind. Because I have already learned so much, I can’t wait to see what this next writing project will add to our writing knowledge.
