5 Books to Help You Beat Writer's Block – WRITERS' RUMPUS
    Last time I wrote a blog, I wrote about my first rough draft. Well, to be honest, that was about a month ago, and after class that day, I had a bad cold. I kind of forgot about school for a week (the week of Thanksgiving break).  Additionally, I have been "maintaining" my weight for wrestling, and because of all of my additional workouts, I have also kind of forgotten about school. So, I have not touched the digital copy of my paper since the last time I blogged about it.
    However, the paper is due this Thursday, and I feel confident. I will be making changes to the paper before class starts today. I have made quite a few stylistic and grammatical changes on a paper copy, so I will be translating that to my digital copy. Either during or after class today, I will be making changes based off my professor's suggestions on the digital copy I emailed her.
    I am excited to see where this paper ends up, and I believe in myself. All I need to do is get myself some coffee and crank it out!

Flowers

Flowers are gorgeous, And they should be treated right. I felt gorgeous, too. When someone says to Treat something right, they mean that It should be taken Very good care of. Flowers should have the backs of Other flowers, and  Make sure they're okay. A rose should help a daisy If a human tries To trample on her And destroy what makes her safe. Humans can be harsh. When a rose does not Have the back of a daisy, The daisy can be Hurt in a way that She can never fully heal From, and that's tragic. The rose did her best To save the daisy, but she Slipped up for a split Second, and the man Was able to inflict pain To the daisy that She may never come To fully heal. The daisy Does not blame the rose. It is sad flowers Are required to have each Others' backs to stay Safe from men when they Are in such a public place, But that is the case.

Finished!

      I have finished and turned in my final paper! I made all of the corrections my professor responded to me with, and I made the corrections I had from my hard copy! I feel good about this paper, and I feel like I have overcome a lot to get it done. There is a lot going on in my personal and family life right now, so to try and focus on something as serious as a a final research-like paper was very difficult. HOWEVER, I did it, and I feel exactly like the person in the picture.     I feel like my paper turned out pretty strong, but I do wish it had less direct quotes. I have a hard time when writing research-like papers with taking notes from sources and using those in indirect quotes. It's definitely a stylistic thing, but I feel like if someone has more indirect quotes it validates their paper a little more (just because it less of copying someone else's work/words down). This is something I have been working on in my other cla...

Update on My Research Process

    I have been working on my  research for this research paper, and I have found three sources.  I have one .edu source and two scholarly articles for sources.  One of these scholarly articles is from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the other is an original research paper (I believe it was an anthropological study).     In the past, I have taken the approach of a politician almost, and that has caused me to take quotes out of context and use them to my advantage.  While this does create a paper with evidence, it also creates an argument that isn't solid.  I will not be doing this for this paper because I am actually writing about something I care about.  I am not a politician that constantly takes someone else's words and uses them out of context to benefit myself; the only time I have ever done it is in one research paper in high school.   I have found overwhelming support for many of my clai...
