So far this is shaping up to be a rather sterling week. The blizzard yesterday caused my school to close down for the day. This allowed me some time to relax. In addition to the snow day, my early morning English class was not in progress today. This gave me an other chance to sleep in, an opportunity I am happy about.
With all this extra free time allotted to me, I decided to begin revising my memoir. I have already fixed a great deal of the grammatical errors which plagued my initial copy. I am now working on adding a larger amount of detail through out my piece. I know my piece lacks some detail, but I am having a few difficulties in finding good points within the text to add more sensory description.The notes my peers provided me with, critiquing my work, are making this process easier than it may otherwise have been, but I am still faced with some obstacles. Trying to strike a balance between vivid description and pacing that won't put readers to sleep has proven to be more challenging than I had originally anticipated. Whether to further emphasize the ceremony itself, what preceded it, or what proceeded it; this is what I am still deciding. Oh well, I'll probably be able to strike a balance sometime during the next few days. There's still an adequate amount of time for me to refine my work
Hopefully my final draft will come out miles ahead of my initial copy.
