Research Paper Rough Draft and Reading/Working Log

                This might sound very cheesy, but I don’t feel like I have a ‘connection’ with my paper. I usually feel really proud of a paper I’ve written at this point and I usually know my paper by heart but now I feel like I didn’t even write it. Also it was almost too easy… I barely had to write anything. I mean, it’s all in my own words, but all I had to do was copy from my outline and notecards, paste, and modify. Of course, this may just be me over reacting or looking at it from too close of a perspective.

                I think I could use some help on my transitions. Also, I find that at some points I’m just saying the same things over and over again. Then at other times I felt like I wasn’t elaborating enough because I didn’t think I have enough room for elaboration. While I was writing I didn’t want to get to the point when I needed to write my introduction and conclusion and already be at the end of my 6th page. Now that my paper is done I realize I can be more descript wherever it is necessary. I would like to know where I need to explain more, where my major errors are, and if there are any places I could modify my ‘voice’.
