Discuss an “Aha” from Creative Writing Class

Definitely Writer Seminar’s, for example Claire and Emma’s Seminar focusing on a plot setting being told on a podcast called “Old Town Night Vale”. My favriote was when they somehow they turned the usual advertisements into dark and suspenseful events that made the setting more interesting. Liza and Micheal’s Writer’s Seminar from Franz Kapra inspired me to make a poem called “Wheels and Circles”. The story “Up the Gallery”, had an idea of Idealism vs. Realism that stuck with me through and through. Seeing the video as well, gave me a lot inspirations to create something creepy yet captivating. It was definitely a piece that went out of my comfort zone and a way to play around with my writing more.

What have you accomplished as a reader? What is your plan to read next?

I have tried to open myself towards more realistic types of books as it helps me to really get in touch with the real world. The events or situations that take place in realistic fiction has been an eye opener for me and truthfully I have always been scared to read these types of books. I wouldn’t say I have read more books since last year but I would say it has made me look into life with a new perspective.  I would also want to read more books focusing on horror or thriller genres because I feel that it’s something that I’ve always wanted to add towards my bucket list of books I want to read.  I want to be comfortable in exploring new genres and whether I can create different likings towards it.

What are your next steps to improve as a writer?

Connecting my ideas and getting it thoroughly across in my writing has always been a struggle for me. I feel that in order for me to improve as writer, I need to read and try to project the same writing style as writer’s who are clearer at getting their points across. Besides creative writing, I think English for me in general has always been a struggle.  In English, I usually have a tougher time getting my point across especially in critical paragraphs where as in my personal’s I can share my story. either my ideas can be very simplistic or it’s very detailed and it’s not understandable at all. If I am able to connect even the simplicity of my rating correct reading to writing backspace backspace back spac either my ideas can be very simplistic or it’s very detailed and it’s not understandable at all.  Also I would like to develop a more structured story, setting or plot  that can be understand more towards the reader with what’s going on.
