Ok well after last Wednesday's class I am pretty sure everyone thinks I am a perv for my misinterpreted sentences about the couple going to the village to get some milk..geez everybody! haha. But I have to say, that exercise was really helpful and interesting: it allowed me to think of writing more along the lines of poetry rather than just writing: have that repetition tied the story and paragraphs together, and made everything flow more easily. I do have to say that writing the story was far more easier than writing the poem: I just gave up. I was trying to write OBAMA, and I felt that what I put down did not adequately capture what I wanted to say, it ended up sounding pretty lame.
I do really enjoy the writing activities in class, and it is always really entertaining when people read parts aloud. I especially enjoy when we pass our pieces and add to someone elses, it reminds me of games we played when I was little. And, getting it back at the end is always entertaining too. It is not only helpful for our writing abilities, but it is fun. Plus, it's always good to see what you can write on the fly, sometimes I think my best writing comes in those fast generated, quick response writing sessions that we have in class. It is a good way to collect my thoughts and generate ideas for future pieces. Keep them coming!
