Reflection 1.3

I'm excited that this argument is finally over. In the end, I was very happy with my paper. Going to the writing Center definitely helped me with a few things I was confused about and showing me that a lot of things didn't make much sense; and helped me to clarify.

My writing process can basically be summed up by: after I chose an editorial I was FINALLY happy with, I just researched and researched sources to the point where I had about 25 tabs up on my screen. I would go through and highlight things I liked and good points to help support and that go against my argument. Then I tried to incorporate those sources into somewhat of a first draft. Then for the next draft I first went through and reread it and changed little things I wasn't happy with, I think I even changed sources, added some and took out some. For the last draft, I did the same thing and made changes all over the place and then changed some of the organization. In the final draft I also worked on the comments I was given, such as citing my sources correctly, pulling from the original editorial more, 5Ws and paraphrasing some of my sources rather than all being quotes.

In the end, I'm happy with my final draft and how it turned out. I don't think I've ever put as much time and thought into a paper. I had to think about if I was fulfilling everything we learned and all of the aspects of a successful rebuttal argument.
