My personal narrative is going good so far, but isn’t close to being done. It won’t be hard for me to finish it up though. The story I am telling is long, so it is easy to put in detail and extend it to the needed length. However, my story happened thirteen years ago, so some details are hard to remember. I probably need to call my parents and get the missing parts from them. The only problem I might have is finishing my paper strongly. I could probably find some nice weak ending and just say that my experience helped me to learn blank, blank and blank; but I know I should probably find a really strong ending so I get the grade I want. One other problem that I am probably going to have to spend the most time on is making sure that my paper flows and there aren’t too many errors. No matter how many times I read what I have, I always find some new error. It is really annoying because I just don’t see them even though I keep reading it. I should probably have my brother or friends read it though, because reading other people’s papers tends to help out more. They are usually better at telling you what made sense and what didn’t. Sometime I know what I am trying to say but say it weird so other people have no idea what I am saying. You might see this in what I just wrote. J
Finally I got a topic for my paper, and I have a lot of the same problems that you have. I feel like I can get lots of my paper done because I have a topic that will be easy for me to right about. However getting the right words onto paper is the hard part. I can sit and talk about the whole thing but when I try to put it on the paper it does not sound right. Having someone read your paper is a great idea. That has always helped me out a lot.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you're doing so well. I understand the whole detail thing. My event didn't happen to long ago but I have such a bad memory that I can never remember what I want to say.
ReplyDeleteFlow is one of the hardest parts of writing in my opinion so I understand. There are only so many transition words and you don't want to sound repetitive.
It is so nice when people read your papers for you but I absolutely hate it. I guess I'm not confident enough in my writing.
Good Luck with your paper!
