Reflect on 1st Quarter


End of 1st Quarter Reflective Writing
Due: Thu. October 31 2013
Self-reflective writing about the works you wrote this semester and the journey you’ve been on to write more and be more creative. Also, what do you envision for second semester, a longer work, more fiction, screenplays, stage plays, or poetry?
Write about a page of clear, thoughtful writing. Address both sentence level writing and your own voice (or your narrator's) as it comes through to the reader and also your journey in terms of creativity and vision and storytelling. 
  Finally, envision where your writing is going, not just the next project, but where you'd like to end up at year's end or beyond. How would you like your writing and creativity to evolve? How do you envision your sentence level writing evolving? Name two projects that you'd like to tackle next.



SAMPLE REFLECTION: I’ve learned to hone my creativity in my writing. I feel like I’ve come a long ways in my prose, and that’s definitely a feat for me. This class has been so encouraging. Specifically, though, I’ve learned how to compose odes, experiment with dialogue poems, juxtapose poems, write creative nonfiction, manipulate writer’s block, present to a crowd full of people, dream up a scenario for utter strangers, create six word memoirs, and delve into majestic wordplay. A strength I think I possess is seeing a big picture idea and then executing it. I really like having the “outlier” thoughts that are a little risky (but in a good way).
