Has anyone set their paper on fire yet?
At this point in the term, the romance of the paper is likely gone. This is okay. It is just another step in the writing process.
Pat yourself on the back you have been working hard.
Take time this week to take a break and feed your muse. Do those things that inspire you; take a hike; go shopping; sit under a tree and drink lemonade, but do something that rekindles your creative spirit. Then, come back to your paper renewed and refreshed for the final round next week.
Happy writing friends.
Hello Professor,
ReplyDeleteActually I am quite afraid of setting my paper on fire. I have worked my tail off on this and I am about to cut the first half of it out and start over. I am not liking it at all and I had an extra set of eyes reinforce what you have already told me. It is more political in the first half and does not take shape until the second half, so I begin again. I have so much to do still that I do not think I have time to play. I would love to take my daughter to the pool but I am afraid it will have to wait. I have a goal set for my classes and as it stands right now I have not met that goal so I must work until I do. I am so ready to finish this paper and cross my fingers. I hope you will enjoy it. See you in seminar.
