I have finished writing my rough draft for my personal essay, however, my journey with it has only just begun. As a writer I know I can spout out rough drafts pretty quickly if I know what I want to say, but I also know there will be plenty of work to do after. I leave room for additions and am also open to cutting things out. In fact I really believe a piece of writing is never really finished. Just because you turn it in doesn't mean it's over.
I feel the hardest part of this assignment is focusing on one belief only. I have a wide variety of things I believe in and I find it hard to focus on only one of them, mostly because they are all linked together in some way or another. I found myself getting off track a few times while writing and I had to go back and fix it. However, I know it is good for me to practice writing on one particular topic and being able to share stories from my life makes it a lot easier. I think I'm on a very good path with my essay so far!
I agree that it is easy to write rough drafts because your just writing down your ideas to whatever you are writing. Its when you make the final piece that it is the hardest to make good.
