week 7?...writing in progress

I think so far that my writing has gotten better since I have been in this class. We focus on a lot in this class and how to make us better writers which is why I think I am getting better. Before this class I was having trouble working on focus. I like to talk a lot when I write papers and babble on and get side tracked which is not what you are suppose to do in papers. I realized that being focused on just what you are talking about helps the reader understand the reading better and the point that you are trying to get a crossed. When I wrote the rough draft at first, I confused the reader because I had about 3 different ideas that I was trying to point out to the reader and they did not understand what I was trying to say. After conferencing I realized what I needed to do and I fixed it and now understand how to focus on a topic in the future. Also I thought the conferencing helped me a lot. I thought talking through with Stephanie helped me understand exactly what she was looking for. I really like the process in the way we write papers. I like how we classmates helped each other out and got insights on what other people thought. When you write your own papers and fix it yourself, you are probably not going to fix much because you are the one who wrote and you think it is good. Having different opinions is very helpful.
