Writing a summary is pretty difficult for me. I get into describing what the author is saying, then somehow I start to talk about my own opinions. A summary has to focus on what the message is from the author, not what I think about the writing. I also have a hard time picking out the main points to make a summary. I never feel like I have the right idea, and want to add more to make up for me feeling unsure.
Once I get started on a summary, I can usually look over it several times and add/change my ideas. In the end, my final paper should be to the point and an overall good summary.
