How much have you written so far? Freaking a little. (2 Viewers)

[dizzyizzy]

How's everyone's drafts going...?
I have 3000~ words but I'm freaking out a bit because the writing feels a bit stilted.
Are you nearly finished a draft? Nearly started? I need a reference point ;__;

 

[naisAtoN]

I don't think you have anything to freak out about. I've spent most of the past term mapping out my ideas and researching and have only really just gotten started on writing.

Everyone works at a different pace and puts their major works together in different ways - and remember we still have a long way to go before it's due. Try not to stress and just keep working hard as I'm sure you have been and it should all come together in the end.

[dizzyizzy]

Define "everyone"

If everyone is your english teacher for ee2, and other english teachers at your school then you might want to stick with it.

If everyone is your friends and family, then you shouldnt give their responses much weight because they will just be looking for an entertaining story. ee2 markers will be looking for more in terms of the RS, purpose, language, etc.

but tell your ee2 teacher your thoughts, they will give you the most help

 

[marcquelle]

all of the above, family, friends, teachers, one of my ex-teachers who i seek guidance from cause he is a head marker for ee2. They all like it but, i hate it and have no liking to the story anymore.

and my teacher told me at the beginning (as did all the other teachers) do something i love, and it is but its just to hard to write about.

 

[shantu1992]

ive finished first draf and 3rd journal (168 pages each)
i basically went crazy after school finished (we finished school on the 2nd of dec), worked my arse off for english the first couple of weeks
i guess its an indicator to be worried about nothing
as long as you have a strong idea of where youre at and what youre doing its fine

 

[dizzyizzy]

shantu you're a crazy thing!
i was overseas before christmas so only started work after boxing day.
thanks for your advice too.

 

[LordPc]

yea shantu, thats pretty crazy. you might want to consider drafting your RS since you have done 3 books worth of journaling

 

[danielleoch]

okay this is not funny. i went on the bos site to find any help on how i can analyse the shit out of my audience - our audience - and i came about this thread and im freaking out!

all of you guys seem to have done so much, all ive got are a bundle of short creates!
ahhh im gonna die.

help?

Keep going! You can edit later to fix any stilted writing. Better to get the ideas down while they're going strong.

 

[Hysterik]

Keep it going guys. I didn't start writing mine until March. Do not do this.



(but I still got 47/50, after many a sleepless night during August. It's definitely possible, it's just making it far harder on yourself.)

 

[dizzyizzy]

wooo i have 4000 now...
now it would be ironic if my teacher doesn't like it..

 

[marcquelle]

personally i think my teacher is going to kill me and be angry but he'll get over it, i swapped to doing a speech and have written half of it already, so far it goes for 9 minutes so yay

Oh my god. This just completely freaks me out.
I did heaps in fourth term, but over the holidays I just became really lazy and kept putting it off. So I have a journal half full of research and reflection, about 500 words of actual writing and some random articles and bits of research from the past few weeks.
I'm so screwed now.

[kevinx2]

heaps of old threads about how people had 1000s of words to write several days before the due date.

Not to worry.
