College Comp. II questions

Response to questions about writing:
If I were writing my first scientific paper, I would review the basics about thesis statement, introduction, body and conclusion. These guidelines are very helpful when attempting to write a scientific paper. It's really true, the introduction comes first but is best when written last, after the paper is mostly complete. After deciding on a thesis statement, START WRITING! I think it is best to get the ball rolling and keep writing with the expectation that there will be a lot of time spent on revising and editing. It's like polishing, it takes time but is necessary to make sure the paper is clearly written and hopefully interesting to read. What I accomplished in the last 10 weeks was practice at new editing and revising skills. This made for a strong sense of accomplishment since I took some run on sentences and wordy sentences and improved them through revision. I still struggle to keep my verb tense correct. I tend to change tense as I write. I'm not always sure how to do this correctly.

I honed my writing skills in these last ten weeks. It was a really good experience. I wish I had another writing class to take

I'm not done!!

Well, I guess I am almost done and so I feel good about that. I would like to be able to just work on my two research papers. I do love to write. I appreciate good writing. The problem is, I know it when I see it, I'm just not that good at doing it myself. The result is a lot of frustration not getting the hoped for outcome. I'm nervous at this point since my plans of having both papers completed early did not work out. Now I need to focus and not let it become a stressful situation. There's just never enough time, it's nice to be busy and involved in working on achieving my goal. A question posed for this blog from our unit 9 assigments includes the question, "How do you feel about writing at this point? Has your idea of writing changed throughout the course?
To this I answer, I've still got a lot to learn! As I said, I appreciate good writing and that idea has not changed. What has changed for me is that I now have some new tools to work with that we learned in our Composition II for the Health Care Professional. See y'all in our next term of classes. Jan
