Some of my success and challenges have differed throughout my creative writing class this year. The success that showed the most significates this year is my train of thought, I have been in many situations where I have no idea what to write or even what style I want to write in but this year I have thought of many many ideas that I can write about and different ways or styles I can write I can accomplish this idea. I think that this is a valuable because I am getting a more creative outlook on writing and it is making it more enjoyable. The challenges of this year have been actually getting my ideas on paper, I may have had all these great ideas but choosing one and writing it is a huge challenge. I can think of what I want to write but arranging my ideas on paper is hard but I am slowly overcoming it.
I want to focus on meaning and rhyme because I feel like I am pretty good at these but there is still room for improvement. Things that I know about rhyme are that you can rhyme anything, it just depends on the way you say and what you want to put emphasis on. I am interested in these because just adding these two things to a poem or a story can make a huge significates in your writing. “I put my or-ange in stor-age and ate por-age.”

I am enjoying the most in creative writing is getting the time to sit and write about whatever I want. I never make the time to write a short story and I think that I need to put that time in my day, but now I do cause of creative writing. I think that to have the most productive day you need to exercise both sides of your brain and I normally practice the right side of my brain, the math- logical side because I am naturally just more into math. So when I practice the left side of the brain it gets me more creative and my day is complete with equal practice.
I have written a lot of poems and they are normally short lines but long in general. For the poems in this class they are just short all round but I think that the more poems I write the more meaningful they get, even though they are short. Before I wrote long poems about random things and each stanza didn’t really match and flow. I think that writing poetry before though was a lot more natural and easy, but the more that my poem voice grows the harder it is getting. So I would say that I am growing as a poet and I didn’t even know it…. Haha
I think that meaning is the most important because my poems are about an idea, they don’t really have sound or character. I could include metaphor to add more meaning, but I really want to focus on the meaning behind the poems and how they answer the question.
I want to focus on, in revising my story is the narrator, how he is in the beginning and at the beginning of scenes was pretty hard to do, I don't even know if I should do that. I set it up so that his voice is on the right side of the screen and I don't even know is that is legal in the writing world. I want it to just make sense all together. The last 3 paragraphs I wrote I don't know what I am doing with them so like they might not be the same or in the same place. A question that was generated while I was making my story are: Is there a different way to write with second person other than saying 'you' 'your' 'yourself' all the time.
I had the most trouble was at the beginning when I was trying to make a character, trying to develop someone off the top of your head and have consistent emotions and feels. So filling out that paper of our character was helpful. I am also going to have trouble with writing second person, I want some more tips on that.
I want my digital story to have an eerie kind of feel, but also have the good moments like with me and my brother. I can get that scary feeling with weird music and scary alien pictures. Using like intriguing words that makes you want to still listen. I can also do that with pacing being slower when I talk about aliens.
I have been trying to revise my story but I can't put what I and everyone wants into words, or even where to put it in my story. I am trying to add things about my brother and our relationship but I can't find a way to incorporate it in my story; right now I just have in the beginning and honestly really don't like it. I also added a paragraph at the end trying to finish it stronger but the more I write I feel like the story is getting weaker. I felt good about my first draft, I know I need to still edit it more but my second draft I think is pretty bad... A question that I have still is, how can I make my story better by adding things about my brother and the ending? I can't seem to do :(
I have been trying to think about why I am actually scared of aliens, who they represent to me, etc. I couldn't really come up with anything that I would like to admit to myself.
A question that I have is 'Do I have to have falling actions?' I like having the ending be my brother's wise words and answering the question. I am happy of the idea of my story I want to fix how it is like 75% aliens and only 25% of my relationship with my brother. I want it to be 50-50 but I am having trouble to do that. |
