My writing process this time around has been absolutely hellish. I went to the table -via internet- Wednesday with a friend of mine who works as a columnist for several print magazines. I had two different versions of my essay for him to look over. This was quite an experience as he basically told me to start over again. So my revision comes in the form of yet a third version of my paper. So while I'd like to highlight my revisions, I can't, there aren't any. I'm basically looking at the individual components he said I, "may want to work with," and tossing the rest. I know the benefit of this is not turning in a wreck of a paper, but it's more than disheartening. So I suppose the revisions I'm planning aren't planned at all. I'm doing revisions on all new content -I actually took a break from that to write this post-. I think perhaps I brought the work to the wrong person, but I feel like he was just telling me what I thought. The fact is I can't seem to land on a topic I can effectively follow to any form of conclusion. It's not that I hate the story, far from it in fact, I just can't seem to form an effective essay on any of its themes. Well, as much as I love crying to the internet, I will have to take my leave and continue revising my final, final, final draft. I wish you all the best of luck on your essays, and have a great week.
