The Federal Reserve is Getting on My Nerves (Essay No. 2, That Is)

I agree with Andrew that Essay No. 2 has definitely been more difficult to write than Essay No. 1. Frankly, I’m disappointed in both of my essays, but at least I felt a little creative with the first one. It is easier to write creatively about something that is personal to you vs. writing about a subject that is impersonal, even though you know a lot about the topic.

I have been thinking about revisions for both essays, but mostly the second one. I think I am going to highlight the major cash operations, add more “stories” and personal memories, and definitely come up with a better introduction and closing. The good thing about this topic is that I know a lot about it. The bad thing is that I’m thinking like a manager or auditor when I write about it. I need to take those hats off, put on my writer’s hat, and just make it an enjoyable but also informative piece for the reader.

Thanks for all the feedback.
