If You Had 3 Wishes....

Since starting the course Lives and Times, i have come to reevaluate myself as a writer. In the beginning of the course I decided that I needed to work on my thought processes and the ways in which I approach the ideas that I need to write about. As of the beginning of the course, I was very close minded. My language was colloquial and I blame my High School English teachers for not correcting my grammar and style when they could. I believed that I was writing past a college freshman level according to my High School and Lived and Times proved to me how far I could take my abilities still. I have found new ways to approach analytic papers, artist statements, and narrative adaptations. The front door is not the only way!!
As this course comes to a close, I believe that my strengths as a writer have increased. I now come at all assignment topics form every angle possible. I have found much more faith in my abilities to cohesively put together any type of essay.
In the future, I need to improve my grammar and some of the language that I use in my writing. I would like to continue developing the cohesiveness of my writing, especially the transitioning from one sentence to another.
All-in-all I enjoyed myself in this class and would recommend it to anyone looking for a W.

Here is a video that I found today that may help any of my readers that need help writing...
Hope it helps!!

  2. Now that i've gotten to know you [both as a writer and as your everyday self] i can actually picture you saying whatever you write in your blog. So i think that although you may have ditched the overly colloquial language, you definitely have a strong voice as a writer.
