For my last blog post I will reflect on the past semester that I spent in this class, our goal is to link back to Blog Post number seven and to engage in reflective writing. I will be talking about Author Identify, my theory of writing, the growth that I had as a writer, and the knowledge I will be able to transfer to future writing situations.
During the course of the year I would say my Author Identity has changed a lot. For one I had never written a memoir in vivid detail, I never really tried t writing in detail before this class. I can also say my relationship with writing has grown a little bit. Before I didn’t care about writing and know I kind of have a soft spot for it. Writing was never one of my strong suits. One thing I can’t say is my process for writing hasn’t changed. I still write last minute and even then, I don’t write in full detail which has hurt me. The other thing that has changed is my theories on writing. Before this class if I had a project, I would just write it out. I didn’t have Description Action Theme “DAT” nor did I ever learn how to format a research paper through Pressure Inform Entertain “PIE” There were a lot of things I also didn’t know what a discourse community is and how it can mean so much. Lastly one thing I didn’t do was write to make meaning. Normally Id just write a rough draft and hand its in. But thanks to this course I was able to write to make meaning, my rough drafts may have been last minuet but they made sense. I have definitely grown as a writer. At the beginning writing wasn’t my strong suit. But through this class I can say that I have become more detailed with my work. And every time I write now, I have in the back of my head be more detailed, it will help in the long run. Another thing I can say I have been more descriptive in my writing. At the start of the year I wasn’t descriptive nor did I put in a lot of detail. But I can say at the end of this semester between my final memoir and my final research paper I have been more descriptive. Lastly how can I transfer this into future writing scenarios? As I said before every time, I write now it’s always in my head add more detail. That’s one thing that has stuck with me throughout this course is to be more detailed and I believe it has shown towards the end of the semester. I can also say that I can transfer DAT, and Pie into other writings that I may be working on. It’s safe to say that this course will be sticking with me for a long time. In conclusion I learned a lot in this class, I have grown as a writer, I have changed my theories of writing and I found some ways to infuse this class with future writing projects. It’s been a fun sixteen weeks and I hope the people who have been reading this blog did as well.
