Many of the things talked about in Lamott’s description were very similar to my first writing draft. When writing I thought of many different ideas along the lines of my main topic. I tried as best I could to connect everything and make it sound like i was flowing smoothly, but most importantly I wanted to get all my ideas down very similar to what was talked about in the description. I however believe I expended very well on all my individual topics leading to a well thought out and comprehensive set of ideas. While my main focus was on completing all the general ideas and background I had an overall strong first draft, that with several changes, can lead to a very solid paper.

  1. My goals for my paper are to improve on my overall flow from passage to passage connecting back to my main topic layed out.
  2. I plan to first go over my introduction paragraph reviewing my main topics layed out and my overall argument. Then on from that I plan to read through my individual the individual body paragraphs making sure they connect and make sense with my main topic/thesis.
  3. My biggest challenge ahead of me is going to be to reread and understand how I want to narrow down my argument with supporting pieces which would lead to a flowing paper.
  4. I plan to use my peer review comments as a source of information for possible change as well as exploring others blogs and getting a better understanding of changes they may need to make to their paper which would also be beneficial to mine.
