Commentary (What Shaped Me)
My emotional and mental thoughts in my
free write were starting to flow like the hypothetical river I would always be
told about in previous classes. Apparently, this feeling was what I would write
like, thoughts running smoothly and every bump in its path was just another
idea to be expanded upon. Free write became a habit to me and I was addicted to
building on my ideas. In the beginning of the class I would just write to get
the class work over with and my grades reflected that, but I quickly realized
the importance of not only attending class, but also intentionally participating
in the activities. I experienced my
first blog a couple weeks into class and it grabbed my attention in a couple of
ways. I wasn’t use to the idea that I would post something on the Internet for
everyone to see. I didn’t want people to judge me or mock me for the way I
wrote, but I realized that blogging was almost a means of feedback from outside
sources. People were able to express what they enjoyed or what they felt could
be changed in my writing projects and it helped ease my mind when jotting down
thoughts onto paper.
