Well...my past experiences with writing. In high school, I was in honors english for my first three years, and my senior year I decided not to take it because I wanted to take a Shakespeare class. That was the BEST. But, back to writing. In high school, I would write papers, and do good on them, but I always [to this day] feel like I'm just buLLsh***ing everything. That's why I wanted to take this class. Not only do I want to just write better, because I don't think I write THAT bad, but I want to feel comfortable writing. I don't want to feel like I'm filling a page as much as I can with "descriptive words." Also, I felt kinda dumb in class when Ms. Welter was talking about the 2 page long paragraphs because that is totally me. But, honestly, I've always thought that that was good because I always assumed, and was told, that you do not stop a paragraph until your thought is finished....so maybe it takes me a couple pages. I would have to say though that my most favorite experiences in writing...writing meaning physically writing, not writing papers, would be poetry. Writing poetry is such a big outlet for me. I adore it. I don't do it as much as I used too, but I still love it nonetheless. I think it's because it's NOT like writing papers. There is no format, I mean there is if you want one, but it all depends on you. It doesn't HAVE to rhyme or have a certain amount of syllables. It's just such a free art form. I love it. Another experience I had with writing was last semester. We had to write 2 legal memorandums and a brief in my Legal Writing class. So I've pretty much been all over the map with the writing world.
