Document Summary
Breaking it up as its own step. Find word or sentence that really resonates with you. Go somewhere not distracting (about 45 minutes to 1 hour: go with a piece of paper and poem, stockpile data, look at poem, circle words, take notes. Write everything down (write lists) the more info the better. Can always include the counterargument and refute it! Could try typing without looking at the screen (so making it dim) Go back to it after about 12-24 hours. Print it out in a completely different font. Say it out loud; record it or audio to text: as if you were explaining it to a friend. Imagine the reader as someone who has read the text, but not for about a week or month so they know it but not the details or anything: they don"t have the poem in front of them. Thesis statement: can be more than 1 sentence. Clarify what you"re arguing in the intro.
