I never really overcame my writer's block. It took many hours of painful effort to get a crappy version of my paper out. Once I got the "whole" paper out, I didn't even have enough energy to edit it up, and I was just wasting time. Therefore I decided to go to bed and wake up early to edit it. I think that was a brilliant decision. I slept in a bit later than I had hoped, and I had to skip my morning classes, however I have actually felt some inspiration and have improved this paper a lot. I have A's in my two morning classes right now, and I'm not sure I can say that about French. That in addition to it just being my most important class focus-wise, I'm happy with this decision to dedicate my energy to it.
I still think my paper has errors, and I really don't want to have it peer edited (which I'm sure we will), but I feel like it is less embarrassing to turn in. It has all the requirements (different types of sentences and vocabulary), it is the right length and it better explains what I was trying to say. For this first version we are only graded on having all the necessary components and having gender and conjugation errors. More complex errors of grammar are pointed out, but not marked down on until the final version. This means that I am going to go through very carefully and try and make sure that I have no simple, mark downable errors, and leave it be.
Tootaloo!
