This is a collection of my works from my Intro to Creative Writing class. Select the section for the work you would like to view.
In this class, I felt like I had the chance to grow. At many points, I was reminded that I was not the greatest writer in the world. I had the chance to develop my prose and drama writing skills, as well as learn more about writing poetry. My first prose piece I feel will be the piece of work that I will continue to work upon the most.
I had fun getting an excuse to write. My main goal with this class was to force myself to write. I would have rather written prose the whole time, but I did enjoy learning better to write poetry. I think my piece of work that is suffering the worst is my second prose draft. I had a very brief amount of ideas for the story, and will probably never beable to flesh it out.
I enjoyed discussing other people's work with them and with a group. I felt like I was enriching another person's life and helping them along the shakey path that I myself am experiencing, as well. I enjoyed learning what others thought of my work. My only wish was that I could have gotten more feedback on my work. My first workshop was excellent, but after that, I got a minimum amount of information out of people as to how to fix my work. I figure that, in the least likely case, that my work didn't need improvement. In more likely cases, however, I think that people were uncomfortable about discussing my work with me, for fear that I might bite their head off, or they might have thought that it was past the point of ever being able to be made into something. I got the excuse to write, but I feel still needy in the sense that my work hasn't been critically analysed to my liking. I hope to pull some analysis out of my boyfriend during the summer.
