This essay about what I think a writer is required a lot of work in revising. This was the first essay I had written for the class and to be honest it was rough. One big thing I changed was the use of second person. As I have leaned in college comp. 2 this is a big no-no in writing. My essay was dripping with "you" and "your" in every corner it seemed. Using my word choice I was easily able to eradicate this big problem from the paper. The other elephant in the room for this paper was having so many ideas squeezed into single paragraphs. After taking almost 5 months away from this paper I was able to breeze through the pages and see how awkward it all was. To fix this I spilt each idea into individual paragraphs which really helped the flow. This again was accomplished by using word choice to rearrange ideas and fit them into their individual slot appropriately. Lastly, after making these big changes I also made minor changes such ass comma splices and spelling errors. After all of this I thought my paper was ready to go then I realized my word count was 120 over! After some frustration and contemplating faking the word count I drove in and really broke down this paper. And in no time (to my surprise) I had my paper down to the needed 900 words! Overall, after all the revisions on this paper I really think I was able to pull it from the ashes and make it 10 times better
