Jun. 21st, 2009 02:07 amI just sent a decidedly imperfect draft of my paper to Prof. DeLaet. This is huge for me in several ways:
1. It's not perfect. I let myself bracket things off to fill in later when I got stuck. They are admittedly not yet filled in, but that's what tomorrow is for.
2. It's complete. If I absolutely had to turn it in tomorrow, I could fill in or omit stuff and have a finished, albeit crappy, paper.
3. I actually enjoyed writing it. I'm learning a lot about a field I'm interested in, and I'm learning a lot about my writing process and how to break blocks.
So yeah. Maybe this writing thing doesn't completely suck after all.
