The process of writing my first essay, like every other essay I’ve written in my lifetime, was produced through no planning. I usually just write down what I think on the paper, or in this case the Google dock, and go with that. I mean, don’t be worried, I do revise and edit as I go, but I usually don’t reread my work and I don’t plan. I wrote a draft, anything that came to mind, then took out what I didn’t like. I don’t think it could be improved purely because it works for me, and I’ve never really resulted in anything productive by planning. Hi, little interlude from me weeks after this was written, this whole paragraph is embarrassing. It feels like looking at a picture of your middle school eyebrows with all the knowledge you have now. End of interlude.
I wouldn’t change anything about the peer review; I actually enjoy the process and feedback. We’ve never really done anything like that in any of my other English classes, so it was very refreshing and helpful to be able to have another perspective.
I’m not sure of how proud I am of the final product, purely because I was unsure of what to write about at first, so this was me scraping together content. Hopefully it doesn’t show. Another interlude, newsflash: it does show. Sorry about that.
From writing this essay, I’ve learned that peer review is a necessity from here on out, it is very helpful and resourceful.
