The writing process of my first paper worked out great in some ways and in other ways it needs some major improvements. I think that I wrote down a lot of good field notes for my first paper, but I want to have more field notes for my next paper. The more field notes I have to reference to, the more I will be able to elaborate in my paper. I want to write down more details when I am watching the film I am going to analyze. When I wrote down field notes for the public space paper, I did not write down as many details as I should have so sometimes it was hard for me to add more descriptions into my paper.
Another thing I want to change about my writing process for the next paper is to not make such a long first rough draft. My first rough draft was very long. I received so many great comments and feedback from students. They gave me some valuable ideas that I could add to my paper. But unfortunately my paper was so long that I had a very difficult time trying to add in all the great recommendations that students gave me. I will not write such a long rough draft for my next paper so I will be able to add in a lot more creative ideas as I edit my drafts. Overall, my previous writing experience taught me so much about how to write papers and I will learn from my past mistakes on the first paper on how to improve the writing process for my next paper.
