Blog Entry #6
My writing process so far is a little behind from where I
would like it to be, I feel as though I am a little bit behind on my sources
and feel like I’m not entering them into my paper as much as I should. I feel
as though that I can make my paper stronger if I use them to more focus the counter arguments.
I feel that my research process is better than how it
reflects through my paper. As I stated before, I feel that my sources are
there, just that I need to invoke them more into my paper so that they make a
bigger and more lasting effect on the audience.
After reading Zinsser’s article on Clutter, I liked how he
used weeds as his example. A weed is something really that you don’t want it to
grow where it is, and that really is clutter in your paper. If you don’t need
to make a certain point bounce around in your paper, don’t. Trying to fake it
to make it works in some parts of the paper but not all. If you think that a
certain point of your paper needs more description, then use the description,
and it’s fine to do that. Where if you are at a part of your paper that doesn’t
need to be continued, then don’t because back to the weed reference, then it
doesn’t make your yard or paper look as good as it should be.
