Revisions to my paper (from the writing conferences)

The writing conferences were extremely beneficial as they gave me the opportunity to have my piers and my professor critically analyze the paper I had put together. From the conferences, I was able to realize the fact that my basis of identity hadn't been correct. I was focusing on identity in individual blogs rather than lookin at the big picture. And the big picture was the blogger I was following connected identity with every single post through different techniques such as humor, relation, and opinion. I am very happy that the writing conference brought about a positive change in my paper; one that was more concise and apt for success. From now on, I plan to do a writing conference for every paper I write whether it be organized, or me just asking family members and friends to edit my essays. The writing conference aslo revealed the fact that I needed to back up my claims with more detail, and that is exactly what I did. Now, every statement in my essay is well supported; and ultimately, that is a grave improvement in itself. Initially, I felt the writing conferences were just a big waste of time, but now I realize the severity of impact that they create on a writing piece.
