1. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what improved? How did it get better? Why?
I think there were actually a few things about my writing that improved. What improved was my headline, and actual changes in my writing such as being aggressive and changing my "ing" words when necessary. Well all my work would have never been corrected if Randy had not taught the class and me all types of different writing techniques.

2. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what still needs work? What do you think will help you improve? Why?
I think what still needs work my actual writing. I say this because i know somewhere in my piece there is at least one or two pancake sentences. I think what will help me improve is to incorporate what Randy said about making my sentences concerts not pancakes. I have to make sure my sentences have strong beginnings and a strong ending so that the reader will want to keep reading because the sentence is so good.

3. Specifically, show us something that improved and describe the path it took to get better. You can quote your article, your drafts, link to evidence, etc.
4. Describe something specific (or a few things!) that you learned about writing.
Like I mentioned in question one, I learned so much about writing that I never knew before. I never knew someone could have to much of something in their writing. Apparently you can. Too many "ing" words can turn your writing into an irrelevant piece. It is only good to use "ing" words only when necessary.
Another thing I learned about was the use of sledgehammer words such as "extremely, completely, very, totally, definitely, and really". These words only have power if used rarely in your writing. But an overdose of these words will result in bad writing.
