“You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.” ― Octavia E. Butler
Here I will introduce my Formal Assignment #2 and I will provide links to my related blog posts. I don't have many good experiences with writing I was never a strong writer nor did I enjoy doing it. I used to do all in my power to avoid writing because I was embarrassed about how bad I was. Because I never had anything I liked to write about it was always here's a topic tell me what you think, and that never stood out to me I didn’t even care about what I was writing I just wrote whatever I had to to get the grade. My third blog assignment Composing an Emotional Scene is actually about an object I got when I got baptized. I actually finally got the courage to get baptized because I was always afraid of I don't even know what but I never wanted to because I was afraid. So it really means a lot to me not only because it was from that but because my parents gave it me. My fourth blog assignment Composing an Emotional Scene with Dialogue and Symbolism which is about my family reuniting, this blog post actually takes about a very emotional time for me. My blog is about when I got to talk to my cousins for the first time in over seven years this is all because of some stupid family feud that when my grandfather and Aunt Liz got into a huge fight and they didn’t talk again she cut ties with everyone including me, my mom, my dad, and my brother. I didn’t really understand why she did so until recently and still I think it was the dumbest thing for all these years to keep them away from us. Ever since I was born we did everything with Aunt LIz, she actually took me to get my eyes pierced when I was not even a year. We used to hang out every weekend have sleepovers and just have so much fun. But then we stopped hearing from her until a few short years ago. My fifth blog assignment My Narrative Project: A Wizard-of-Oz Journey is about my experience writing narratives in this class, if you don't know what a narrative is a writing about an event. In this blog I talk about how these narratives have affected me as a writer they have really affected me as a writer and these narratives have changed me as a writer if nothing else they made me a more experienced writer before this blog when he asked us to do this I said to myself I have no clue what that even is how am I going to do this but I did so I believe if nothing else it made me more experienced. And my final blog is my seventh blog Midterm Reflection which is actually a vlog. This vlog is all about my midterm which is a memoir which you can view at the bottom of the page. And the vlog is me answering questions about my memoir and saying what it is about and how I can fix it.
Here is a links to all of my drafts for my memoir:
