Assignment #14- Planning for Revisions



For my revised essay (advertisement), I am going to step away from my computer, get a pen and just write from my own thoughts without "googling" to reiterate or strengthen my arguments. It feels like I rely on a little too much when I really don't need to. I'll leave quotations entirely out because they tend to take away from me forming arguments and ideas for myself. I know the ideas are there, I just have to take the time to look for them. It has a lot to do with the confidence in your work, to have an idea and go with it before looking for outside sources. Sometimes I have an unfinished idea, but instead of thinking for myself I almost automatically google something for an article, review or essay to do the rest of the work. Finally, I'm going to eliminate some of the fluff in my essay. I see that my wordiness could use some improvement. If I were to cut out the extra stuff, I would have more room for more points and arguments.
