Not going to lie, this week started off rough for me. I had
some personal things going on and then coming to class and being really
confused by WP3 made me even more frustrated. I’m the type of person that likes
to follow exact directions and play by the rules, so it tends to be difficult for
me to follow such “loose” directions. As a math and science person, I also find
it hard for me to be creative at times, especially when it comes to thinking “out
of the box” in a writing aspect. That being said, you can imagine how I was
feeling when I started to brainstorm ideas for the WP3. I decided to take a
step back and read through some articles. Doing this allowed me to find
something I found interesting and let it kind of give me ideas. Rather than
thinking of a genre for younger and older people and then making the article transform
to those genres, I read the article and used the information presented to think
of genres that would best fit. This helped a lot and made it so much easier to
get my ideas. After coming to class on Wednesday, (as usual) writing project 3
became much more clear to me. After becoming more clear, it gained my interest
and made me much more excited to write it. Although our class didn’t have the
exact same instructions as the samples did, seeing the samples helped tremendously
and solidified my understanding of the assignment. This week I was definitely
challenged by the project but am thankful for that because it’s only going to
help me grow as a writer and student.
