The Body Collage

I am finding it really hard to get started on my essay. I am excited about writing it because it seems like a good topic and interesting to write about. Despite this I still am finding it very tricky to get started. I also have brainstormed a little bit and I’m also having difficulty on how to shift from vignette to vignette. I know that it doesn’t necessarily need to flow, but I feel like there should be at least a little connectedness and not just a big rumble of words all piled into sentences and paragraphs. I like the readings we’ve done because they have helped to give me ideas on how describe things, or how to transfer my ideas. I also am wondering if the essay needs to be really coherent or if it can go along with no real rhyme or reason. I’m also worried about if I can really come up with enough things to talk about. I guess I’ll just go for it and see what the peer editing does for my final draft. Last semester I didn't really need to write essays or think critically about things like this due to the classes I had which I think is part of the reason why I'm having so much trouble because I haven't written a real essay since my spring semester of my senior year of high school. I'll work on it and hopefully it'll be alright.
