First Flurry and Essay

As the freezing weather is lurking on Virginia Tech like a storm cloud, we are all sitting here in the cold figuring out what to do with our essays. As I sit in front of the computer screen and read over my essay again and again, I seem lost about what to do next. I know I want to add something and not just edit what I have right now. What helped me get past this huge slump today was Skye's comments on my essay. These personalized letters really help you understand what the bigger picture is in your essay and what needs to be fixed so that the reader will have a better perception of what you are writing about. It was flurrying out this morning so I think that has to be a good sign of things to come for the winter season. Essay writing really wasn't all that bad. The splitting of the process into steps such as introduction, shitty essay, edits, and final really help put the writing process into perspective.
