Literacy Narrative Update

     I think that I've finally reached a roadblock. I churned out my first draft in about an hour and a half, but I'm stuck. Really stuck. If I add to the first draft, it usually sounds a bit choppy, as if two different people wrote it. I don't know why this happens to me, but if I ever add anything to writing, it never sounds the same as the original. Even when I remove and reorder phrases, it sounds different. It's not subtle either. I unintentionally change my style drastically, and when I do anything to fix a paper, it reflects.

     This happens every time that I write a paper. It's hard to recapture a state of mind. My thought process usually goes something like this:
     Hmm, I should probably get around to revising that paper. Yikes! That transition could be better. What to do? What to do? I know, I'll rephrase it like this. Wait, that doesn't sound right... What about replacing that sentence? Man! This is frustrating. What if I go to something else? I can't fix this either. What am I going to do? I have to revise my paper. It's due soon. I can't come back to it. I have to do something. I can't sit here freaking out like this. BUT I CAN'T FIX IT. I KNOW I CAN'T. Forget it. I'll do my math homework.

Hopefully I will be able to say something different about this paper next week.
