When I went to the writing center I felt like we worked well together editing. I told my writing fellow what I was concerned about and so we worked on those things. Mainly I was worried that I was analyzing the story more than the language or that I included too much plot. So that I didn't have as much of the story, we went through and slimmed down my context or introductions so that it was only what was necessary and not too wordy. We thought about what was necessary to understand the quotations and tried to make my introductions just that much so that I could focus on analyzation. I also asked her to look at my conclusion which I was worried about but she seemed to think it's okay. The writing fellow that I had was very nice but she wasn't as decisive as I'd hoped she'd be.
Though my writing fellow helped me a bit, it was only on the problem spots that I thought I had. I would have liked her to point out other things that she thought could have been improved. Either way it's okay though because I felt better about my paper after the meeting. Reading my paper aloud was very helpful because it made awkward parts very apparent. As I read aloud I marked parts that I knew sounded weird and then I went from there. The writing center was pretty helpful and not as bad as I expected. I would definitely go again even if we didn't have to.
