Chapters 2 and 3 Summary

Chapters two and three really focused on ideas and organization and the creative process that it entails. When writing a paper you want to start with a rough draft, not thinking about how perfect it should be the first time around, which is how I feel when writing. It is too much pressure to put upon yourself to be perfect right out the gate, so just throw ideas out there, and take the time later to review and revise.
Organization plays an important role in creating great paper. If it is organized well, it will flow smoothly and not confuse the reader. You can accomplish this by assigning each paragraph to a specific topic, making sure they make sense and connect with the others. The conclusion paragraph should leave the reader with something to think about weather it’s an image or the main idea.
After reading these two chapters I realized that I need to plan out my ideas, thoughts, and the main ideas I want to address. I am one who rarely writes a rough draft, and I think that’s what makes the writing process so difficult for me. I put too much pressure on myself to create something great the first time, but that is what revising and editing is for, and the more people you have proofreading your work the more feedback you have to make your paper great.
