"the single quality that distinguishes the unpublished writer from the published is not talent but work" (pg.421)-- this quote can really give you a sense of hope and an achievable goal to make your writing better.. just through work habits. as they say "practice makes perfect"through writing, studying, working, and any daily habits.
one of the stages they talk about is really shitty first drafts. which also goes to show that good writers dont just come up with these masterpieces out of no where... it takes time and lots of changes. so next time ill remember its okay if my first draft is in fact really really shitty.
one change i can make after writing my shitty first draft is to question it?... what surprised me? what intrigued me? what disturbed me? some of these questions might be a little tough to answer on your own just because you have been the one researching and dealing with this information for awhile now and you already know what youve said or want to get across.... but group members could really be useful in this stage....
