My thoughts on the writing process

I had a hard time writing this assignment and when I had finally pinpointed what it was that I wanted to write on, it wasn’t too bad. Actually, I soon discovered that I was then about four hundred words over the limit. There we go again. I became more stresses as I debated that maybe mine was not going to be profound enough and that I had perhaps written too flippant of a piece but I decided not to worry about it. Looking at my piece now and comparing it to what my classmates have written, I am not that pleased with it. I knew it needed work after I finished my initial writing of it but after cutting out about three hundred words, I decided that since it was a draft, I would let it alone and see what my peers had to say about what I had already done. My SIP was lurking at me anyway. Now, I think that I want to summarize less and get more of myself as a character rather than say “Then this and then this and I was like ‘oh no!’”. I want to make it more literary and less child-like.
