Before this class, I never gave any serious thought to what
my writing style was. I realized as the course went on, that my style was a
very simple and direct one. Unfortunately, this often led me to some very dry
assignments. I can plan out the entire story in my head, but forget to include
the small details that make the story worth reading. This has definitely been
my greatest improvement throughout this course. I've learned to not only stick
with and develop a good idea, but how to relate it to a certain writing
category or situation.
I think these blogs have been one of the most helpful tools
that we have used during the semester. They allow us to write a smaller, more concise
version of what we have in our heads. We have much more freedom of expression
in these blogs than we do in many larger literary works. They have allowed me
to test certain writing styles that I otherwise would not have tried because of
the type of work that is being asked for.
At the beginning of the class, my biggest concern was
whether or not I would have enough material to fill in the assignments that I
had to do. My next concern was if I had enough meaningful material to fill in
my works. I could write pages of nonsense, loosely tied together, with no real
meaning or purpose, but that would defeat everything that I have tried to work
for in this class. That has been one of my greatest improvements. Although I
still have a lot of work left, I have noticed an improvement in the depth of my
writing and the detail that I am able to incorporate into it.
