The writing process in this first paper wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t abnormally hard. Only one thing about it was relatively challenging or hard, and that was not allowing myself to appear to radical in the process of painting a clear picture of where I stand within the community that I wrote about. What made this challenging was the fact that my position within the community is somewhat radical, not compared to the rest of the community, but it is perceived as very radical relative to the rest of the world. This required me to wisely craft my word choice, and this is not to say that I don’t normally try to wisely choose my words, but it is to say that I had to put more effort into it this time than I normally do.
I learned that peer editing was actually useful in writing my paper. Of course this doesn’t change what I would do or not do next time, with the exception that I will continue to put forth effort in peer editing in hopes the my peers will do the same for me.
