Week 12: Famous Last Words

This week I was able to read part of Alice in Wonderland. I've always wanted to read this story as an adult because when you're a child you think about things differently, so this was really neat for me to be able to do. When I wrote the Storytelling for this week, it was actually the easiest to write. I was able to envision something after reading the original because I understood the story better after reading it again. There are certain details in my readings that I need to pay more attention to so that my storytellings will be easier and more fun for people to read. I want my stories to be better than they have been and for them to flow more than my others.
This week my best writing was for a paper in my capstone class. It was a five page paper about social responsibility in journalism. Normally writing takes me a very long time because I tend to overthink everything when I write. This time the words were flowing and I wrote my paper in two hours, which is not normal for me. This week for my project I decided to write my story in the style of journal entries. Like I mentioned before, writing is something I am not skilled at. This was sort of difficult me to do, but I was able to get something out.

I read someone's story this week but I can't quite remember whose it was, but I loved it. They added specific details in their story and their vocabulary was broader. Everything about it was intriguing and interesting. I want my writing to be more like this.
The biggest thing I have noticed about taking this class is that my other school writings have been much easier to write. Writing is like practicing anything else and getting better at it. In this class we just write which has made my writing in other classes easier to do.
