I feel the beauty in writing simply based on the idea that you can write about the things that come to your mind without the necessity of having an agenda is one of my favorite concepts I take away from this class. I felt the way we handled writing in this class in sort of a blog like form was refreshing for it keeps the idea of writing relevant without the constant pressure of having to dig deeply into topics. I feel it is so important to understand the simplistic form in which writing just to write can become a story all on its own, I feel this class has helped improve my writing for the fact I don’t fear the vulnerability as much as I used too. What I really enjoyed about this class was the ability to get personal in my writing with the occasion papers. I felt this was a strong element for me because I got to just witness before my eyes all the great things in it. Listening to my thoughts transcribe on paper made it interesting to hear because the fear of having to write parts of my life on paper is sometimes nerving. I don’t know whether I will say the right or wrong thing, I no longer have that problem. I now feel regardless of how you think others might perceive your work should not be the determining factor of whether the work should or should not be shared. I learned so much more about the use of technology in writing which was really intriguing giving the nature of being an English major and adapting these new forms of technology in our work. I feel there were so many political and social issues we discussed that made this class completely interesting. Journaling was a major part of my growth in writing this semester, it helped to pinpoint flaws in my writing, like the tendency to repeat myself. Overall, there are plenty of tools this class can provide as long as you can keep an open mind.
