Pathway to writing

My mom always told me to, "Do it right the first time." This weeks activity  was very difficult to complete...I honestly do not know what blocks me.  So I draw...  One of the first things that stood out was perfection, I know I am never going to be perfect at it...so why try.  

The next was, I write how I speak...at least that is what several people have told me and yes it made it on the activity.  

With that being said, (there was a few other things on the paper) but these two stood out.  Analyzing the drawing the one thing that I do know about myself.  Once I am done with a paper I do not want to go back, so I do not do rough drafts.  I feel that in and of itself is accomplishment to get the paper back.  This single actions creates a lot of headache for myself, because I dread receiving papers back.

I am willing to make changes and not second guess myself...

First step read my paper at least once throw before I turn it in.  I know rough drafts are suppose to be read and reread but baby steps.

  1. Nice post and good reflection on why you do what you do. I agree baby steps are effective in progressing to the next level. Because you write what you think, you are an honest writer and that's important. I realize I often try to be so accurate that I get stumped and put words that are not what I would normally use in conversation. I respect the "realness" in your writing and when you start proofreading your work, I think you'll appreciate the time you save in the end.
