Class Reflection

When I entered this class earlier this semester I had a love for writing. Now its the end of the semester and I can truly say that I have a passion for writing. In this class I was given the chance to learn and eaxperiment with all the different elements of creative writing. I liked all of the arguments that we had to write, they were so much fun to write. During the course of the semester i developed a new process of writing. First, I make sure that I am going to write about a creative topic that I can relate to and make sure that whatever I am writing about can be backed by research. Now I plot out my main points that I want to address. Before this class I would start off writing without brainstorming, and more than likely in the end I would have to cut out so much uneeded information. I found that having a process is so much easier beacuse I get to address all of my main points easier and at a faster rate since I have it all planned out in the beginning. I also learned how to accept harsh comments from my peers, I also was wanting them to always tell me what they thought was not good. The workshops and conferences that we had in this class were very helpful and a good way for the class to reflect on each others papers. I really enjoyed the idea of keeping a blog as well, it was a really cool way to turn in papers and to save trees. : )
