Cassie Lagner- Project 1 revise

As I started Project 1, I knew right away I was going to make a “shitty first draft”. Like I always do, I just put everything on the paper and went back after I was done to make the changes I needed to. As I began to be okay with the version I had, I started to write my memo. Realizing my map sounded very repetitive, I went back for the 20th time to fix it until I was finally satisfied. The process fro revising P1 took a couple days of thinking and trying to figure out exactly what I needed to do to meet the requirements for this project. I continued doing this for a whole week fixing it each day and I mostly did this at my desk in my dorm room because sitting at a desk is where I get most of my work done. This was a little different than the first draft because I think I got a better understanding of what I needed to do and how it needs to be done. While revising the second version I felt different because I felt a little less stress than the first time around starting fresh. I felt I had a little more of a grasp on the concept the second time around. I felt very invested in my second draft because I wanted to make this next version the best possible one it could be under the guidelines given. While doing this project, I felt the most difficult part was not having an exact outline on what needs to be done. That is the most difficult thing for me in any writing assignment, to free write and come up with what you think it means. I felt writing the memo was easier because I had an outline of questions to follow and I was able to expand off those.
