*UPDATED* Revision Ideas

Based on your workshop discussion, begin revising your essays into complete drafts. If you get stuck:
  • Don't forget you have resources in the CW 106-113 to help you.
  • Work in 15 minute increments, then take a 15 minute break. 
  • Practice different modes of writing: for 10 minutes generate, for 10 minutes be critical and cut, for 10 minutes research, for ten minutes work on structure, etc. 
  • Get up and pace around or do a free write. Moving your body has been shown to help you think better!
  • Try and out-line your essay to see if that structure can propell you forward
  • Write your essay out again word for word in a new document. Allow yourself to make changes as you go. You'll be surprised at the things you notice you want to change.
  • Head in a totally new direction. If you're talking about the time you walked up the Rattlesnake, talk about the time you went on a hike somewhere else, or the difference of walking in the mall.
  • Write a story about your thinking concerning bioregionalism and how it has changed.
  • Speak to the concepts of bioregionalism.
