I'm not going to
lie when we first got assigned this assignment I wasn't too pumped. I was like
"ugh another essay", I've never been a great writer. I might have had
a few good essays here and there, but nothing too extraordinary. That's
why I don't usually like writing assignments, but I should get over it because
I have a feeling that I’ll be doing a lot of writing this year. Writing comes
naturally to some people, word choice, organization, sentence fluency, and
ideas seem to just bounce off their fingertips like it's nothing. It's really
like a sixth sense to them, but not for me. I could sit there for hours and
write nothing compared to what others do.
I really liked the
writing group, they really helped me edit my paper to be better and focus on my
weak elements. I also liked hearing their stories, although it didn't give me
much confidence in my own paper. Hearing other scenes gave me ideas on my own.
Not exactly copy their words but more like get inspiration. Like from their
scenes and word choice, I could hear a very vivid word and maybe think of
another word that has the same meaning that I can use in my own paper. Overall
I think my narrative is coming along pretty good so far.
Literacy Narrative:
1 1/2 hours
My fake Boyfriend:
about an hour
Sarah, I felt the same way when I started on my essay (and I still do.) I am a horrible writer, I LOATHE IT. I'm glad that the writing group helped you, as it did for me also!
