Writer’s memo

I decided on the topic of “what is the difference in writing a text message and writing for academics?” I decided on this topic after talking with my teacher about the topic I had before this one which turned out to be too broad and difficult to write about.  The topic I had chosen at first was ‘how do I write?”  At first I thought I had a pretty set view on my topic but as I started researching that changed.  Now I have mixed feelings about whether or not writing a text message and writing for academics are similar processes.  I feel that they are alike and different at the same time.

So far the only revisions I have made were grammar errors or sentences pointed out to me that could be better worded.  I will do more revisions once I receive feedback from my teacher.  I got some suggestions from another student in my class and I took those suggestions to better my paper.  I did not reject any suggestions because they were all things that needed to be corrected.  The revisions I made were all just small grammatical errors or punctuation errors that I easily and quickly fixed.  These few revisions helped me make my paper look and sound better.

For my reviewer I have these questions: Is my paper headed in the right direction?  What can I do to make my paper even better? Is my paper structured well?  The only thing I’m really concerned about is whether or not I went in the right direction for my autoethonography.  Everything I put in my paper just kind of flowed out of my thoughts and from the research I did.  I will feel much more confident with my paper knowing that I wrote it correctly.
