10/13/2017 0 Comments Week 6This week the biggest thing I learned is to accept differences and failures. The biggest influencers of that lesson was jackson the author that spoke to us. He obviously is a better writer and more talented than Im when in regards to writing. Though even he expressed how most people do not like his writing due to differences in what they like and prefer in writing pieces. Maybe people won't always enjoy my writing maybe some days even I will hate my writing. But what matter is to get it on there because my opinion on it could change or I could figure out a better way to enhance it and improve it. Another big thing is differences in views. The poem The waltz was read 3x once by Ben then by me twice to myself and i very clearly read it as a happy childhood memory of a kid and their father. As soon as someone mentioned the abusive side to it I was honestly shocked. How did I not see it. I was trying to make sure it wasn't me getting influenced with someones else opinion about the writing piece but I truly couldn't see the poem again in the safelight of it being happy. It was easier to argue that it was written in a n abusive standpoint. The differences in peoples view really helped broaden my understand of this piece. The other big thing I learned is to accept my failure. Im really struggling writing this creative writing piece i just can't get myself to dig deep enough to create something that matters. Ive finished it but honestly I feel very disappointed init. i know I could do better and I feel like I Bull shit the whole thing. I hope I can better improve that writting peice because the topic itself that i choose to expand on I can relate and express very nicely. I wish to do that through that creative writing piece but I think Ive failed. Rather than to let it out me down like it had I want to improve it and help it become the piece I know it can be.

10/7/2017 0 Comments week 5This week the biggest thing I learned was self reflection. Ive always struggled with learning to better analyze my own work and give myself good feedback and most importantly not over crticize myself. I believe to be fair when it comes to analyzing work I know what Im capable of so i don't set the expectation too high for myself. Though with this class Im not quite sure if Im On the level I need to be as a writer. While revising my paper I really honestly didn't find one thing I really like about my paper. I was very disappointed in myself and just felt very discouraged. Not only am I finding a hard time dealing with coming up with good content and structure but just to even come up with anything at all. For creative writing time I just run dry my mind is wandering too many places to focus on one thing or idea and start typing about it. This week itself has been very busy and hectic for me with homecoming and taking a lot of responsibilities on. Ive learned to better spread myself out and be more productive but I still have moments where I feel like just sitting there and dong nothing because gof having such a jam packed day ahead. That sort of why I when it come to the creative writing time and revising my work i just feel blank not only am I not liking anything enough to revise and better but I also am lacking motivation to get it done. Hopefully next week with all this stress out of the way I can be more on track with creative writing
