So it's been really interesting to compare this workshop with the first one. I definitely think that the stories have improved a lot. I think that just by being introduced to different techniques has helped a lot. Then there's the fact that we have just plain done more writing so we all have a little more experience. Anyway the stories have improved a lot in comparison to the first bunch.
It's funny because in some ways I had a harder time writing this story than the first one, but in some ways it was easier too. I know that some people had a hard time finding ideas to write about, but it was easier for me this time around. Also since we have covered more techniques in class I had an easier time thinking of different things I could do with my story. I found it harder though to write some parts of my story because I was trying to think so much about energy and tension and things like that. But on the whole I think it was easier for me this time.
