Today's Quote--"An editor should tell the author his writing is better than it is. Not a lot better, a little better."--T. S. Elliot
Did he really have to write that it was "Unsatisfactory"? Couldn't he have said, "Needs Improvement"? I know it needs improvement, that's why it was a draft. I know it was a piece of crap, that's why we call it Crapstone. I read some of his comments...they're all true. I know it, and I know I have lots of time to revise until the damn thing makes sense and is objective. I know all of this. So why am I still crying about it? I know none of his comments are personal attacks, it's about the paper and writing the best Capstone I can. But why does it still feel like someone slapped me and told me I was a piece of shit? I wish I was emotionally stable. And I wish that those few comments hadn't totally ruined my day. But I'm not and they did. I wish I had someone to cry to. Maybe I'll get over myself one of these days...but until then, I just have to whine to my blog. It's the only place that will listen.
I sent out my graduation announcements. I wonder if I'll graduate. Everything but this stupid paper. Unsatisfactory hurts my feelings. I used to be able to write. I used to be told that I wrote well. Did I lose that or did the standards just go up? Anyway, did he really have to write that it was "Unsatisfactory"?
