Writing for dummies;101.020

So, I know for all you who may happen to follow this, this blog is getting quite confusing considering it goes from one topic to a completely different topic every week. But since last week was a free write, that is why you got all my opinions on 8 Ams, and this week is an assigned topic. To keep you in the loop, I have to write what I think about my english class.

So far, my english class has been very interesting, which scares me a little because I have always hated writing. It was something that would always hang in my mind that I had to write a paper, and I would postpone it and ignore it until about midnight of the day before. But for some odd reason (and I think it has something to do with these here blogs!) I have enjoyed writing more. Because of the idea that I have to post my words on the internet, and anyone anywhere can read them, I have become more comfortable with my writing. I put more personality into it, and I choose topics that are relevant to my life now.

This class, like I said before was a dreaded class for me, but it is way more than I expected. We get so many chances to improve our writing skills, before we turn in a “final for now” draft, that I think it would be hard for us to not learn and blossom more as writers. I love all the peer reviews, because it lets you know what may make sense in your head, does not necessarily make sense in writing. I also love the teacher reviews, because you can always trust what she is saying (considering she will be the one grading it later!)

I honestly cannot think of something that I would like to do more of in class…I think we have the writing portion down…and considering we do not cover books as it is a writing class, I think we have done a great job covering a variety of topics!
