Post Snowpocalypse Journal
I didn't have a journal entry for last week because, while I knew that winter was coming, I didn't expect THE ENTIRE WINTER IN ONE WEEKEND.
Anyways,onto my journal for this week.
I have never really had any good experiences with writing, and the only form taught to me was the basic intro, three paragraphs, and a conclusion. Of course I threw that in the metaphorical dumpster when I got to college.
I didn't really find any of the material covered in these chapters (1 and 66) helpful, but I found the part where heavy topics like life events and incidents should be avoided as they are overused topics. I expected a lot of people would write narratives about topics like that, but maybe I was wrong.
I have taken this class before, and got an excellent grade on my narrative paper. However, that is my only experience with narratives.
I enjoy writing narrative papers as I can exercise my creativity, and since this is college, a whole world of options lie before me. This will, to me, be another positive writing experience.
I also detest the normal flow of things and tend to write unorthodox papers, so there's that.
Everyone pay good attention to Shaun's advice here: "I have never really had any good experiences with writing, and the only form taught to me was the basic intro, three paragraphs, and a conclusion. Of course I threw that in the metaphorical dumpster when I got to college." There really is a kind of "unlearning" that goes on when you begin to write in college because the purpose of the writing changes. Writing in college has the potential to be so much more fun because of that.
