Metacommentary on Writing Paper 1

For me, writing the small object/large subject essay was a test of my confidence in my writing and I felt slightly nervous. In my previous writing class, we were given different direction and the content was worded differently so I was unsure if I met all the requirements. I find my writing to be a dialoque but in class we learned that it really shouldn't so I hope I that I hit the target. I am working on my inner self as a older freshman re-entering the college campus trying to catch-up on years gone by, whereas I have more experience in life and it does reflect in my writing. I found that the fact that we got to choose what we wanted to write about was comforting for me and also the fact that I got to choose technology, which I have experience and passion within. The subject made it easier to write about, however the details and the flow made me a bit nervous. I also never had to write a cite page before so I had to research how to do it, plus how to insert them into the essay. I feel that I understand what to do, I am just taking baby steps to get there. I am enjoying my new found love for writing and I am hoping that it comes across in my writing.

  1. Nancy, this is why I enjoyed writing paper one so much as well. I love writing about subjects that I to choose, this is because it just makes writing more of a free experience for me. i hate having o do research papers on specific topics which I find boring. It takes away from my writing because if I don't like the topic, I am not going to be in a good mood when writing my paper and I feel it makes writing worse.
