So after all that proof-reading until I was numb, I submitted my writing project and got a grade back. I scored just about the median (not like I am about to broadcast my exact grade to everyone). It wasn't as well as I had wanted to do, but it definitely gives room for improvement. I'll admit, I am disappointed. Writing is supposed to be "my thing." I was a writing minor in undergrad, I should know this stuff, right? Still it is a bit of a humbling experience (all of law school is, I don't know why I thought this class would be any different). Now I take the experience and turn it into something that I can improve upon in my next set of projects. In the meanwhile, here are some hilarious tid-bits my professor sent out regarding the importance of proper legal writing in the professional world.
