Week 1...Post 1

The paper I am going to write about, is a paper I wrote last semester. It was a paper designed to help me figure out information about my major of Criminal Justice. I already knew quite a bit of information about my major, but part of this paper was to have an interview with a counselor from the Criminal Justice department. Along with the interview I also had to use the library website to find information like salary, job openings, and other things of that nature. I wrote this paper two nights before it was due, partly because I procrastinated, and also because of the interviews I had to wait until I had all of my data collected. I really like to listen to music while I am writing, because writing in silence makes it really hard to concentrate, and I find myself staring at the wall or something. I think that the main difference between editing and revising, is that revising is just looking over your paper for simple grammar mistakes, and possible misspellings. Editing though, would be going through your paper and changing the mistakes, and making parts of the paper flow better and changing parts around to make a better paper. In other words editing is the work you do after revising.
