Turns Out 1000 Words Feels Just Fine

Finished my writing for the Classification and I feel good about it. I came up at 914 words, or something like that. Thanks to Casey for using the magic editing wand to trim the fat from my first draft. I'm glad I produced a piece of writing for this class that I am genuinely happy about. The fruit content was written on the fly and the profile article was pre-written and combined with a follow-up story, so that it wasn't exactly cheating, though I suppose that could possibly be up for debate. 
 
I won't debate that this'll show off my writer self, who has mostly coasted through this class. (I shouldn't say that in a negative way—on the contrary, I have fallen for design harder than ever before.)
 
And I'm off to deal with that part of the assignment. I'm happy with my draft, which hopefully are easy to see from this post. I'm glad to be re-visiting this and I feel like I have not mounted in a while.

I see you bubbling all over the place -- you're yeasty, and I think it's grand!

Wow, your comp looks really good! I had no problem coming up with 1,000 words, either. In fact, I had close to 1,500 at one point and really had to trim down. But the quantity naturally decreased as I tightened up my copy.

Looks like a good article...I'd like to read it when you are done. :)

Thanks. I'd absolutely love to share when it's complete. I'm glad I sent my copy to Stephanie early enough to incorporate her suggestions for the comp.
