I feel like my Comp II class is throwing off my writing! I hate it! I had such a good handle there on my writing for the last eight months, knowing exactly what I wanted to put down and smiling when it was done. Now a big question mark floats in my head.
There are different styles of writing, and I feel like I am just getting a grasp on it. I wish I could separate my styles more clearly already. One for analysis, and one for enjoyment. This is my writing for enjoyment. But I feel like the analytical technical side is leaking in as I'm concentrating on trying to cover all the evaluation points in the professor's grading sheet.
My Comp I professor wanted things INTERESTING, and really, that was all she required. I LOVEd it because I was able to write interesting and at the same time had to make sure it was good. If it was interesting she loved it, it was that easy. Even still it was challenging covering the new points and keeping it interesting, but that's what I loved. I'm finding I'm falling back on my notes from that class to keep things interesting in this class and crossing my fingers this professor will think I'm covering her points technically even though it's an interesting read.
My first paper for this Comp II was completely technical, so it will be interesting to see what my professor thinks of that. This next paper that is due, I am going for a more interesting approach, because seriously writing that first paper bored me to fucking tears. This second one I wrote in an hour or so and makes me smile when I look at it. Hopefully she smiles when she looks at it too instead of stabbing it with a red pen.
