I just wanted to start off by saying this class was a blessing for me. It allowed me to be creative in my own time, and I feel that’s important when developing stories. In addition to that it was just a really awesome class with an amazing teacher. It has come and gone extremely fast! I wish I could do it over and gather more from what you have to offer Mrs. Skinner.
When it came to completing prompts this semester writing was more challenging for me than it was in any other class. Mainly the challenge came from the freedom in writing, and I found it to be a real positive. I think your prompts allowed our individuality and styles to shine through in our writing or at least mine.
As far as my writing style has grown I believe the biggest lesson I took away from the class was show not tell. I feel I’m doing way better about that. I think I have to work a harder when it comes to dialogue, I do not really use that tool in my writing so I will try and mess around with that a little more. I also learned that being aware of your audience is a tool you can use to really win your reader over. So I need to know who my writing is geared to, and find a creative way to hook them in. I am happy to walk away with these specific techniques and many more. Have a good break class, and an awesome new year!
