Journal 5

Honestly, I did not feel tremendous about my Writing Project 1. I struggled when trying to find a new writing style and writing process, and I feel that, by branching out and stepping out of my writing "comfort zone," I was unable to write at peak performance. However, my paper was in no way awful. I thought I had a great, interesting topic to discuss and found that my analyses of each genre were spot-on. Also, I thoroughly enjoyed my introductory and conclusion paragraphs, and thought each were written powerfully. I think that more practice with free writing would help greatly in terms of my writing, because my inability to free write made me feel negatively about my paper as a whole. No matter how hard I tried to write without thinking, it was almost impossible. I needed to make sure each thought was relevant and perfect before moving on to the next.
