Blog Post #6

I felt pretty good about the ideas in my rhetorical ecology map, and as a result I did not change any of my rhetorical concepts. I made minor changes in design to my rhetorical ecology map, mainly just shifting a few things around to make the design look a bit cleaner. During the revising process I went back and forth between my bed and my desk, depending on how I felt. In terms of writing the memo, I did not feel like like the process was too different from initially making the map. I felt unsure about what I was putting down because this assignment is so open and can be interpreted so many different ways. I was pretty stressed at the beginning of writing my memo because I did not really know where to start, but as I went along I got a bit more comfortable since I recalled that everyone starts with a bad first draft and I focused more on just getting the ideas down, instead of whether or not they’d be good enough to get into my final draft. I did not feel super invested in revising my map because I did not have any feedback so I felt that my ideas were okay since I am the person who came up with them. The one thing that I would change for my next revising process is to look to get feedback earlier in my writing process.
