Off goes
your little baby. You drop it off and ask
the Writing Doctor to do a whole body checkup. You’ll be back in an hour.
Perfect!
Well…maybe
not.
While that
sounds great, that’s not how it works.
You see, the
CCC Writing Center Consultants are trained to do magic on YOU not on your
paper. Our goal is to make YOU the best writer that we can, not to produce the
best paper that we can for you.
I know, I
know. That’s not going to help you with your paper that’s due tomorrow. But
that’s why we offer our services throughout your writing process. Consultants
will be able to guide you at any point in your writing, which will help YOU to make
your OWN paper the best it can be.
Now go back
to that scenario: You have a VIP coming up. Whenever you have gotten stuck in a
stage of your writing before, you have always come to the Writing Center and
have understood what methods you could use in the future to help yourself
improve in that area. Now, for this paper, you have a good portion done, and
you want it to be the best that it can be. So you make an appointment and come
to the Writing Center.
Now when you
come in, we don’t have to focus on major issues like your thesis, audience, and
organization; we can focus on sentence structure and word clarity.
Bam! Imagine
that paper! It will be sparkling like an Olympic gold medal.
So, what is
your job? Don’t wait to the last minute to get assistance, and be ready to take
ownership of your work. Our job is to help you get there and to make you feel
good about it.
Remember: YOU
are the only one who has true power over your work!
