Research
The hardest part of any research for me is just that, the actual research. Finding credible academic resources is always tough. Second is the CITATIONS! I always forget about what goes where. Does the comma go inside the quote or outside? How about a period with parenthisis? We've all done it. It really is just a pain. In text references are needed, but not warranted. We have a works cited; the only time you should have to use an in text reference is when you are using a direct quote! Anyway, research is just a rough thing for me. I like creative writing. I feel as if researching, and research papers in general stifle me as a writer. You can go ahead and laugh now, I don't mind

I completely agree, the hardest part for me is also citation. Every time I have to cite something I always have something next to me telling me what goes where and in what order, whether it be a piece of paper or googling "MLA Format Citations".
ReplyDeletecitations are definitely the hardest part for me too. I never remember how to do them so I have to have a textbook or some type of instructions open next to me, and constantly refer back to them to make sure I'm doing it right.
