My Mythology Project

Oh man... I have been working on my mythology report (for those of you who have Mr. T) for about an hour now. I decided to take a little break, and just vent my feelings about it right now on my blog. I just can't seem to make the words sound right on the page. Does that ever happen to you? I know what I want to say, and I can think to myself what I want to say, but when I try to put it on paper, it just doesn't sound like I want it! Ugh this is driving me crazy! I know what I need to put in it, and it really shouldn't be this complicated. I can get it all in there, and I'll think it is good, but when I try to read it, it just doesn't flow. So I go rewrite some parts, hoping that it is going to sound decent and still meet the requirements, but I fail once again. I can get it sounding nice, but missing a few things (like a topic sentence for example) or it will have everything, but just sound like a whole bunch of words that don't belong together. I figured maybe if I don't read it for about ten minutes or so, it will just hit me. I'll have an epiphany and just know what I have to do to make it work. I'm hoping so. I really am. Normally I wouldn't be to worried about this, but this is going to be 600 points on our grade, so I really want to make this good. Ok, I think that's been long enough. I'm off to read it!

Yes! I think it's working! I just went through the first two paragraphs and I think they are sounding pretty good! I thought I'd take just another short break to make sure I'm at the top of my game! Well, back to writing now!

Well I did it! I think I got it pretty good now. I'm having my dad read over it, and he's going to give me a few pointers. I guess that's it for me tonight. Thanks for reading!

Part of the reason you are going to be successful in school and in life is that you actually CARE to make the words sound right on the page! Most people don't; they figure if it's on paper, it's good enough. Keep caring about the details!
