Research for the paper

My research paper is coming along quite well. My topic is in order and now I am in the process of finishing my last bit of research and starting the rough draft. So far, the blog itself has given me a lot of useful information. The blogger that I am following tends to use personality in his posts; as a result, my ability to see the voice invoked is quite easy. A difficulty I have had so far is solid information that will remain a constant throughout the entire paper. To fix this burden, I plan to scour for the last bit of info that I need to truly solidify my content. Researching the subject for my paper has never been easy for me. I tend to overthink and try too hard to find extra unnecessary detail rather than intricate fact that will support the plot. This research paper assignment will give me the opportunity to work on my ability to answer the question, rather than simply elaborating. I will also be able to practice my researching and critical thinking skills.

  1. Hmm, after hearing what exactly it is that you're doing with your paper, specifically the fact that you're looking at multiple blogs by the same author, I can see your concern about possibly lacking something constant throughout your essay, because, well, you're looking at multiple blogs. Looking at multiple blogs by the same author will certainly allow you a more rounded and more complete impression of his identity, as I'm assuming he doesn't write using the same voice in each blog, though. I look forward to reading your essay and seeing how you pull it all together.
