Do you also hate the word “potential?”
I was definitely kid B. Little assignments, I wouldn't remember and big assignments were too intimidating to start until the very last minute.
My stepmother admitted a few years before she died that she was angry at me when I was in high school because I would sit down to write an essay assignment the night before it was due and pound out a single draft in a half hour that was ready to be turned in when she always had had to do multiple drafts.
If she had only known the anxiety that drove that draft out of you she probably wouldn’t have been mad. Well, if you’re like me at least.
Oh. You just reminded me of when teachers tried to instill "Good writing practices" on us. There would be a right draft due in one week, first draft due the next, then the second draft, then the revised draft, then the final paper, and then the revised final paper.
I always hated going through that bullshit. Why do I need ten versions when it's just easier to do it right the first time!
