Today's Class Critique

As I mentioned in class I was really frustrated with my story after I wrote it. I think I had certain expectations and ideas and NOTHING came out on the paper. I really just wanted to rip it up but the deadline was near and so I turned it in anyway. The comments in class were VERY helpful however. I got a lot of really helpful tips from everyone in class and I feel a little better about where my story may go. It made me realize how much I truly value the workshops that we do in class. It not only greatly helps me with my individual pieces, but also helps me with my writing when I can evaluate and critique others' work as well. I can't believe how quickly the semester has gone and I'm really going to miss this class. I think it idea of having writing workshops is a vital aspect of the writing experience.
