Writing Process

I spent a lot of time and effort editing and trying to make my paper the best it could be. My work space was not what I call neat... Papers were strewn all over my computer desk. I had past drafts out along with all the resources posted on the website. Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com were permanently open on my computer. I wanted to make sure I understood every word used in the article, so that is why I needed Dictionary.com. And as a general rule I know writers aren't supposed to use Thesauruses but I have the constant problem of not being able to remember the perfect word for a situation. Using Thesaurus.com helps me think of the words I want to use. Because of my short attention spanned I ended up taking a lot of breaks, ESPECIALLY when I was having writers block... Generally these breaks consisted of going to the bathroom, looking in the fridge, going through my internet tabs, playing a quick game of brick breaker, or just staring out the window. At night you can see right into my neighbors house from the computer, if there is lights on. You can often see my neighbor working away on their computer as well. Sometimes I stare over at them or I will just look out into the yard, watching the occasional squirrel run across the fence.

Even after hours of editing, revising and changing the essay it is still hard to be completely happy with an essay that is worth so many points. I understand it isn't the end of the world to get a C in a class, but it is extremely frustrating. So even though I did really like my essay I was not content with the draft I turned it... But I guess you can always make writing better, maybe an essay or a story is never actually done.
