One assignment left, huh? How exciting! My brain has all but completely signed off for the semester, so I might as well squeeze out whatever creative juices might still be lingering in there. I'm not sure how much longer it'll last. I should get going while the going is still good.
I've thought it over, and I've decided to revise my very first paper. What better way to round out the semester than to revisit my least polished work? I want to see how well I've improved my craft since this course first began. I loved writing this piece the first time, as I do with all creative writing, so this will be fun to rewrite. I've learned a few tricks of the trade since I wrote that paper, and I think that I can make it a lot better. This is the perfect way to show how I've grown as a writer throughout this course. Besides, it's my lowest grade out of my four papers. It only makes sense that I'd go back and fix this one up a bit.
I know for sure that I'll tweak the ending. I didn't really know how to end it before. I might add some more scenes, or at least some more details. I was afraid of going over the page limit before (why, I don't know), but now I know that I don't need to worry about that. I want to do a better job of describing Ozzie, and according to Mej's commentary, I need to thread in there the reason why everyone else should love Ozzie and what they can learn from him. Aside from that, I don't see too many structural changes happening. Most of this content will end up being cosmetic changes. The bulk of the essay is there. It just needs some touching up. There were a few oddly-phrased places that I should revisit, and I might reword a few things. Overall, this assignment feels pretty approachable. Everything I need is right in front of me. All that's left is to play around a little with what I've learned. This should be fun, actually. I look forward to reworking this essay and really giving my encounter with Ozzie some justice.
