About Me

About Me
                I enjoy writing because it helps me relax. If I have something on my mind or I really need to get something off of my chest, I write about it. It really helps me put the words together perfectly. Writing helps me understand things better because I can actually see what’s on my mind. It’s like placing your thoughts right in front of you. If I want to talk about things with another person but I don’t know how to say it, writing it out usually helps. It gives you time to think about the right thing to say at the right time. Writing is also a fun thing to do. Getting creative with shorts stories is very entertaining. Poems are also fun too. My favorite activity in Creative Writing is writing short stories with partners. This gives us an opportunity to combine our creative ideas and make the story ten times better and funnier than it would have been if we did it alone. It’s a fun process and the outcomes are always good, even if the stories suck. The poem unit is very enjoyable as well. It was complicated at times but overall it was well worth it. I learned a lot about different poetry and how cool poetry slams can be. I like the fact that poems can range from something short, simple, and silly to something long, complicated, and deep. Poetry is a good way to take out your emotions on a piece of paper. I’m happy I took this class this year and I wish I could take it again.
