Good god. My advisor made two corrections to my paper, where I had made typoes. See, I always knew I was on the right track, turning in my rough drafts as they were...
I do mise en place essay writing. If you've ever seen Alton Brown on Food Network--all the spices and chopped veggies laid out in little bowls so that you can just toss everything in quickly once I start cooking. That's how I write nonfiction. For fiction, I figure out what I'm writing by writing it. For nonfiction, I figure out what I'm writing by reading a lot--and taking long walks and long baths. And it's not always the reading that you'd expect. I ended up pulling in a semantician, Grice, into one of my children's lit papers, and the feminist Carol Clover, whom I'd read in a completely different class, for my werewolf paper, and theory on reading protocols for this paper. And I absolutely cannot start writing until I've got enough reading and thinking done. What this means is that by the time I'm ready to write a rough draft, I don't have time to write any other drafts--but I write a good rough draft.
