magnitude of 5

what a long week

good things, bad things, indifferent things
production - check
progress - debateable

i really want to get my essay finished (almost there i think) and get this presentation over with so i can focus on other things. (i have this class essay and the final paper due for tech writing and i really don't have that class figured out yet).

i have been having more trouble with this essay than i feel like i should. hopefully, when all is said and done i will look back on it and it will make sense to me. in the meantime i am writing and slowly getting somewhere that makes a good shape. like a perfect rhombus in an impefect octagon world.

i have a rough draft of the end of my essay, part of it is in my head, i am currently trying to determine how to continue with what i already have. it was a struggle, this essay but i had a very productive wednesday and a very unproductive friday. i have spent a great deal of time editing and re-writing pages and ideas that i have had for awhile now. this is often a normal process for me. i like to clean up as i continue on to the next section of idea, the problem here tho is that i am uncertain about where i am going or how to ge there. for example, have i addressed talking points like rhetorical theory, rhetorical theory vs. motivation, aristotelian rhetorical theory thoroughly enough? have i explicated my documents well enough? in general when is enough enough, is there always a need for more?

my best guess is that i will have a complete rough-ish draft by end of the day tuesday
