In creating my research paper, the most document that I came across would have to be the guide for writing a research paper. http://www.languages.ait.ac.th/el21meth.htm I always found myself coming back to this webpage for guidance because it clearly lays out what is exactly needed when approaching a research paper. The most difficult feedback I got for my paper was from the anonymous peer review we did in class. My peer review was quite harsh with his/her review but I appreciated that because it truly showed me what I needed to do to fix my paper. The most difficult thing for me while starting my draft was just starting in general. I was really anxious and afraid because I did not know where exactly to start. To tackle such a large thing as a research paper in one attempt is disheartening. But when I realized the concept of *shitty* first drafts, I just wrote whatever came to mind knowing that I could always come back and fix it. The easiest part I felt was going back to my paper and fixing it little by little. I feel it’s alot easier to fix something once it exists rather than attempt to make something perfect on the first try. I believe that my final essay shows my prestige as a writer by the way I portray myself. I tried really hard to portray myself as a professional on my subject and also use very high level language and dialect. With this, I attempted to prove to my audience that I really know what I’m talking about.
