How was writing paper #1 different from paper #2? What have I learned about myself and my writing?

 My first paper was a lot easier to continuously write. Once I solidified my main idea, the words flowed onto paper incredibly smoothly. Most of it was easy because it was simply relaying something that had previously happened. My second paper was SO much harder to convey into words. I had a topic that I was passionate about, but I think that may have been half the problem. It was a huge challenge trying to figure out what direction to approach my topic from and once I finally did, I was overwhelmed with the task of relaying it into essay form. I probably shouldn't have chosen such a dynamic topic.

 I've learned that storytelling is my strong suit and position papers are not.
