Reflection

Every piece i have done in this class has been intersting. Creative Writing has been a learning expirience, drawing my thoughts out painfully at times. I hate having to write every single day, yet at the same time i realize that it has enhanced my writing. Even when i am not in the mood, Mrs. Turner makes think, think, and think some more. I enjoy the freedom we have in the class as well. The lax atmosphere helps my writing improve.
Writing my Lipstick poem was very entertaining. It brought back fun times. I sat in my desk for an hour and a half writing only five lines or so. I enjoy having time to think and try to use my creativity. I thought about a woman's nightlife and how important lipstick was to her self confidence and sexuality. With the poem My Morning Expirience I loved this piece because of the surprise ending. I liked keeping the readers wondering what I needed so bad every morning. "Can't Stop Lovin' You" was a fun story to writing. I liked how we had a group in which we could write the piece together. It is exciting and cheesy. Boredom is the most prominent feeling I have during school. Every student can relate to this poem, excluding the ones in my third block:). The People Poem involved a fun activity. We got to stroll through the school, recording the actions of other people. This was one of my favorite poems.

While writing these pieces, I was constantly changing them. I wrote the excercise of the day, then while typing them on the computer, I would end up revising them. For example, with the People Poem I wrote about a boy in the gymnasium, I had a hard time writing it. I ended up changing the wording of most of it before I posted it to my blog. The inbetween step of putting the pieces of Google Docs and Spreadsheets was often my revising point.

I enjoyed these blogs because of the major perk of being able to read the whole classes writing. I learned different techniques and recognized how unique everyone is with the different styles of writing I came upon. I got a view of the deeper, darker side of life when reading Dean's writing. He wrote all these pieces with quick efficiency, which was inspiring. Blair also had very creative writing. I liked her piece called "She's Everything." It was very creative, my favorite part was "Shes the gravel in the driveway, and the pictures throughout the house Shes that old priceless piano with the keys that need to be tuned" I enjoy the repetitiveness and liked how she described the woman by the things in her life.
