Just a writing exercise...
Dear Journal,
This journal entry is just a moderate writing exercise for me, kinda like a Blog type of thing. I am waiting for the bus to come and pick me up and so I thought I would do some type of writing. English has been driving me nuts about this Essay that I'm supposed to write and it's due like in two days. I wrote my rough draft already, however, the more exercises that we do in class, the more I am worried that my rough draft is not even good enough. Luckily, that's exactly what it is, just a rough draft.
I recently, today to be exact, just did an English exercise to help me brainstorm for this essay that is due soon. It was supposed to help me with my description and how the scene is supposed to sound like, and what I felt during the scene, what I smelled, etc. To be honest, I wrote my essay so damn fast that I did not even stop and think about what I was writing. I just wrote what my brain said to write basically. There was no description of my great grandfather, who is the subject of my essay, there was no description of the football game that my great grandfather and I went to before he passed away. I mean you can not actually "feel" like you are in the scene with us like you are supposed to. The more that I did these exercises, the more they made me think. I think that it is simply time to not actually maybe re-do my rough draft. However, my final draft will definitely have to be better than the shit that I pulled out of my ass for my rough draft.
Usually though, just between the two of us, I do NOT change anything in my rough draft. I usually carry it all throughout my final draft. Not this time. This time, I will make the changes that I need to make. Otherwise, it will sound dull to the reader. I do not much care about the grade that I get. However, when someone says that my writing was bad, I take that personally. I fight that and I re-read it over and over and over until I find out why it was so bad. A lot of people say that in my rough drafts, there is just not good enough description on everything that I'm describing that I'm doing in my essays. My final drafts are usually better. Not just because I put more description into them, but the fact that I put more of me into the paper. Not just simply, "Boredom...don't read me" type of stuff. For the rough drafts, I always write them pretty fast. Then before the Final Draft is due, I sit at my computer and I write down what I think needs to be changed after the Rough draft, according to my readers and my peers of the classroom, after they read my work. Okay thanks for reading, I have to go now. See ya!!!!
P.S. on another note, I got an "A+" on my grammer quizes and on my reading quizes. Gee I wonder how I get those good grades? Oh yeah, because I have a photographic memory. Yeah, I just found out that my dad had it and apparently he passed that great gene down to me! :-)
