This was the first time I
have ever created a blog, so it was definitely a long journey to understand how
to even use the website. I really enjoyed the experience though because the
only creative writing I have ever done is poetry, and that was just this semester!
It was interesting to see how I grew as a writer through this process because I
really had to evaluate myself on whether I was writing too much like me and not
enough like the character in the story. It also took a very long time to write about
all of these characters because after each story I would have to take a break
in order for the creative part of my brain to rest and rejuvenate. I honestly
do not understand how writers do it. Then again, they can take longer periods of
time to write than just a semester, but nonetheless I applause them for their
dedication. It’s taken me all semester to write/edit the blogs, so I can only
imagine how long it takes them to get out of the characters in their stories and into the new ones. I’m
not going to lie, sometimes I would jot down ideas that would pop into my head
during class (please don’t deduct a grade point for this confession!).
I think my favorite piece was the one I did on “The Lamp
in a Window” because I think it’s hilarious how the story was about a crazy cat
lady. But the hardest one was probably In Cold Blood just because it was a long
novel, which took a long time because I had to go through the entire book to
find quotes and ideas that I could use for Perry’s part. Over-all the experience was
quite interesting/exciting, I’m hoping I can keep exercising the creative part
of my brain throughout the years to come!
Here are come picture of the process of this blog!
