Editing Papers

Today I read about editing your work. Even if you are sending an e-mail and do not care about mistakes, you should still correct them because the person recieving the message may mind. I learned that you should not edit your paper at all while you are writing it. You should just go wild with your thoughts and correct them later. If you take the time to revise your writing before it is finished then you may waste you're time because it is possible that that work will be deleted in the future. I always stop to put in commas, periods, and capital letters while I am writing. From now on I will try to avoid this and just write all of my ideas before I fix them. I tend to get extremely aggravted and brain blocked when I can not fuigure out what to write about. I always just want to get the work done so I sit there until I do. This puts a lot of stress on myself. I read that you should get up from your work and go back a couple hours or days later. You should aso revise your paper a couple days later. Your mind will be in a different state and you will be able to make your paper better. These readings will absolutely help me with my future papers.

Thesis Statements and Page Designs

I learned a lot throughout these readings. I never realized that a thesis statement could be put as the last sentence in the last paragraph. I have always learned that it needs to go in the introductory paragraph. I also did not know that a thesis can evolve throughout one's writing. It obviously makes more sense this way because all of your information is not going to fit exactly to your thesis like you want it to. I also learned about designing web pages and papers. It is known to keep an essay organized and simple if you are passing it into a professor. The background is white and the text is usually black. When creating a web design you have unlimited possibilities. Although one can use 40 different fonts and 20 different colors for example, it is a better idea to keep the work balanced and neat. Most of the time simple is best, especially if you are an ammature.
