My Draft Process

When I first started trying to decide which story to write my first paper on, I had no idea how hard it would be to write this paper. I thought that the papers I had to write last semester in English 111 were hard. This one is incredibly challenging. I am writing my paper on the short story ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, so I decided kick this writing process off to a ‘good’ start by reading the story a few more times, so I could become familiar with it. After this, I tried to brainstorm and develop a thesis statement and some main points that I wanted to include in my paper. It seemed as though I was continually running into roadblocks and little things that were getting in my way and slowing down my momentum. They say the easiest way to do something that you don’t want to do is to just jump in and get started. I am not exactly sure that particular strategy works with this writing project. I tried it, but to little avail.
This paper is also being very discouraging to me, because I wanted to just in and have the draft finished before the weekend. Well here I am, it’s Saturday, and I am in my room stumped with little to no progress. I want to hurry and be through with this step so I can finish my other homework, but that is just not working out for me. The only thing I can do is just keep working on it, regardless if I want to or not, and give it all that I have left.
