When writing me first draft I did keep reminding myself that it was just the first draft and that it doesn’t need to be perfect. I did worry though about what my peers were going to say about it when they read it. I related to and though it was funny in Lamott’s short essay when she talked about how great writers all they did was “take a few deep breaths… typing fully formed passages” because I totally thought that. It was really nice to hear how writers don’t get it right on the first try and that they normally have 3 drafts before it done. I was surprising to hear her call the first draft a “child’s draft”, I know the first draft is never the best but I feel like I always try my best to use the right words and for it to not sound child like. Reading that short essay definitely made me feel a lot better.
My goal to to clearly state my argument that metaphors do play a large role how we perceive are bodies, experience sickness, and pursue health. I will use the evidence from Khullar’s, Erard’s and Geary’s article to help with my evidence for my argument.
- My first priority is to read the comments my peer review group gave me.
- I will start to then change and or add any suggestion they gave me
- I will make sure that I am stating my argument/thesis in each paragraph
- Once I think everything is changed/ is better I will reread it
I think my biggest challenge will be if I don’t know how to add or fix something that one of my peer review members gave me for a suggestion.
When I come upon something that I think is too difficult for me to solve on my own I will reach-out to to peer review member if it has to do with one of there comments or I will contact professor Emerson.
