Highlights of Writer's Craft

This class has been a pretty fun one full of laughs, smiles, and yes, writing. I haven't enjoyed all of it to the fullest extent, but it all will help with the future. I did not like the poetry unit, but the exercises we used to redirect our brain waves in order to be more creative will help in the future. Creativity can always be used. I wasn't a huge fan of writing news articles either, but I enjoyed finding the stories and figuring out what angle to go towards. I think it helped me be more "straight to the point" when it comes to my writing. Memori writing was the hardest, though. It was one thing when I was writing about myself, but when I was writing about someone else, it was hard. I really wanted it to be true for them and I was afraid that I might end up twisting the truth. I really liked short story/novel writing, but I loved screen writing the most and I would love to put my novel excerpt into a screen play. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens! Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone, regardless of whether or not you want a future in writing. There are many useful life skills taught, I'm sure even more than I realize now.
