The revising process I think in some ways is harder. You have what you want to say, or what you thought you wanted to say down on paper. Now you must hack through it all, pick and chose what needs to be taken out, put in, or in some cases, almost start from scratch. The last one applies to me in this case. I just don't know what I want to take, what things I need to add and if I even want to go into half of the things. Maybe I'll just narrow it way down and pick one story to tell which will better explain what I set out to explain in the first place.

  1. From everyone's posts, I think we are all finding ourselves in the same place! But we'll get through it and our papers will be even better.

  2. Katy, I am feeling the same things you are feeling. I am struggling with the wording and the choice of what to leave in from the earlier essay and what to take out. I definitely needed to do something more with my essay, and I do think that this second chance (and the third) will be a good thing. You have a good story to tell so I think that you will find the right words to bring it all out clearly and, hopefully, so will I. Good Luck!!
