My major fear regarding my essay was losing the reader’s attentions, but according to my editor that was not a problem. She did, however, find some area’s which confused her that had not occurred to me, since I had been working on it for so long. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to restructure the problem areas of the paper. I felt that the work I put in resulted in an essay which flowed much smoother and had a more logical progression to its conclusion.
In general, it was helpful to have an outsider’s perspective. So much so that I after I made the corrections mentioned by my peer editor, I took my paper to another friend for additional input. I had her read the essay and give me feedback, just as my original editor had, and since she didn’t mention any of the concerns of my peer I asked her directly about those sections. She felt they were very clear and didn’t cause any confusion. I assume this to mean that I did a good job correcting my paper and the issues are no longer present. I suppose the real test comes when I hand it in.
