My trip to the writing center went exceptionally well. I met with John Harris, and he helped me improve my outline and transfer that outline into an actual paper. The reason this went so well was that my writing fellow had the same writing style as me, and since it is a rather odd writing style, he was able to help me in a way that most other people can't. This paper has been an interesting conversion for me, because my kind of writing is short stories and personal essays, so the extra help moving things along was a game changer for me.
He also suggested that I move my thesis to the front of my introduction paragraph, a change that I think made my introduction paragraph much, much better. Granted, I think my intro paragraph definitely needs more work, but any improvement is progress. I don't think that this paper would be going as well as it is if I didn't have the help of my writing fellow.
It's nice that you met with someone with a newer writing style.
