Why is it that this writing thing just keeps getting harder the more I'm supposedly learning about it? Especially as it pertains to "literary analysis?" Urgh! Sorry, I just needed to get that out.
Back to this class - I think I'd like to focus on the two longer pieces for my portfolio. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I believe I'll have a lot more to work with on both of those. I'm sure I could also do a lot with the news brief, but that was probably the least interesting of the three (as far as the writing process goes). SO, the profile piece was what I thought was my best work, which is why I'd like to get in there and make it better. I think I could really turn that into something I could be proud of. The feature was a piece I honestly just ran out of time on, so I'd like to be able to spend another day or two revising with the help of Doug's comments. I couldn't get my main interview guy on the phone until Monday morning,, which left me all of about two days to get the draft over...which was still hopelessly late! I think that's the piece with the most potential for editing, so I can't wait to dive back into that.
I think I need to work on flow and transitions (which could be similar things?) on both of these pieces. And, of course, being more concise, which I maybe, might, sorta sometimes kinda have trouble with sometimes maybe.
