In this post, I will be sharing with my audience both my writing processes, as well as my products for my creative nonfiction essay: Draft 1
Draft 2
For the most part, my instructor explained to me that my draft was well developed. Even in the early stages, I was further ahead then most people would be. I scenes showed, they were all written with passion. My story had a clear and set chronology that was easy to follow and would keep readers enticed. The story itself was also exciting as I was in a crash. But the only thing that was lacking, which I figured as much, was a theme. I had no real reason behind the story. It was just a story. So after much pondering, I decided that my theme would be patience. The way my essay flows and tone of it presents, it's befitting for it to be patience. So, most likely, I plan to start my essay out with a quote or a proverb that signifies my latent empathy that slowly forms as the script transitions. Again, I do this to set a tone but to also have a duality in my writing that I hope sets me apart from other writers and keeps my reader's more focused. I also not only want to write about this feeling, I want to be better at practicing this emotion in real life. I also want my readers to participate in practicing patience because of the world that we live. I feel that patience is under-used and people are too quick to jump to conclusions. Our society demands things too quickly and the things that we should rush are delayed. This virtue is very close to my heart and I feel that it is very important to practice it.
