What I’ve learned to do when I sit down to work on a shitty first draft is toquiet the voices in my head.
I just sit down and have to focus on my work to start a draft. Then I end up rambling on and going on tangents but I just keep writing until I am done. Then I refocus my writing in follow on drafts
boring beginning,
I know that I personally need to work on beginnings. My openings tend to be boring, bland, and formulaic
So I’d start writing without reining myself in. It was almost just typing, justmaking my fingers move.
This is how I start my papers. I just have an idea and begin writing and cover what I want to talk about and hit the page or word requirement. Then I go on to edit and revise after that.
Very few writers really know what they are doing until they’ve done it.
I personally don't do this. I have a very loose plan of what I am going to write and then I just fill in the small details
Now, practically even better news than that of short assignments is the idea ofshitty first drafts. All good writers write them.
When I do projects I have to do many drafts. I tend to try to get my point across and I think I do it effectively but I end up making little, simple mistakes that tend to add up.
I hope this project will be an opportunity for you to write about something that’s important to you, and to get to know each other.
I know that this should be easy for me but it is not. For some reason I struggle to write about myself. I am much better at writing about book analyses or historical analysis not a story about myself.
In fact, you’d likely get more feedback from peers on your work and practices than in a conventional classroom where only the teacher is expected to evaluate and grade.
I believe that this would be really beneficial to students. The more eyes and input on your writing the more you can improve on it because different people think differently.
How much does the strength of connections among members matter to the definition of community?
The strength is very important. The stronger the bonds are in a community the more active they are together and the closer they grow.
Sometimes, a community is defined by place—where people live, work, or play.
This is still very common but it is being replaced at the same time by the internet which allows you to create a community with people all over the world and isn't based on where you reside.
You need a bunch of people who are alike in some way, who feel some sense of belonging or interpersonal connection.
The internet has made this a lot easier for people who used to be social rejects of sorts. If they couldn't find a community in their physical world they were kinda of screwed. Now with the internet you can find a community for you to be apart of without being there physically

I feel like this is a true statement because people get into echo chambers specifically when referring to politics. When this happens people begin to grow a divide based on those lines and people are less willing to hear the other side.
notion of “community” has changed.
the notion of community has changed because of the advent of the internet. Now you don't have to find a community of like minded people in your neighborhood now you find them on a forum or some social media platform.
“community,” they’d very likely give you an answer that involved a physical location.
I feel as though if you asked people in rural and suburban areas in Nebraska they would still say this.
