Let me edit myself...

For this reading, I left myself a bunch of sticky notes. I think the best way for me to reflect on this reading is to go through and explain each of the notes I left for myself.
Note 1- "DON'T"
I left this note to remind myself that when writing first drafts, don't be constantly trying to organize as I go, because I could miss something really important!
Note 2- "AGAIN- purpose and audience"
I write this to emphasize that these two things are very important to remember. They were mentioned in our first reading, and here again. Purpose is always important in a narrative, so I need to be sure that when reading mine, my purpose is clear.
Note 3- "transitions! beginning/end of paragraph"
I left this because I feel this is one of my week points. I have not been very good with transitioning from one idea to the next so hopefully this note will remind me to go through my drafts and check for this to be sure my thoughts are clear.
Note 4- "TITLE and clear thesis"
I have not yet come up with a title. I don't want a boring title, but I want one that makes sense. I also need to be sure that I define my thesis well within the first few sentences.
Note 5- "Lengthen"
self explanitory. my first draft was not quite 2 pages... but luckily I was able to make it 3 by the end of the 2nd draft.
Note 6- "Rewriting? -chronology"
I actually did this... and it was pretty cool to see my story from different views... in different orders... but I ended up liking my original order, anyway.
