(This image was me trying to figure out to what to write for the rest of my creative writing. No joke.) We did a lot of different things this week. We focused on our poem of the week (and I somehow missed writing the essay...again), our creative writing assignment and started working on the brunt of our What is Literature? projects. As important as our Literature projects are, I was more concerned with my creative writing assignment that was due at the end of the week. I don’t think of myself as an extremely creative person when it comes to writing, so this assignment cause me quite a bit of anxiety. I knew right off the bat that I wanted to include my I Remember piece that I had written. Most of that editing and revision consisted of me trying my best to turn giant chunk of text I started with into a decent poem. It went pretty well, and I’m happy with the result. My struggle came about when I couldn’t figure out what to write or use for the remaining 650 words I needed. I didn’t get any kind of inspiration from any of my various “writings” (i.e. rants and complaints) from this marking period. I literally bothered every single person in my life to give me a creative writing prompt to give me some kind of direction. And when that didn’t work, I turned to Google, looking for various prompts that might give me an inkling of inspiration. Finally on Friday, after school and swim practice, I was going through my creative writing document and saw a sentence about something weird my dog had done and had the idea to expand on it! Somehow, that turned into me writing a letter to my dog, and I have already read it to him and he doesn't seem to care that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Overall this week, I stressed a hell of a lot with the creative writing assignment, but I am very happy with what I ended up with and cannot wait to spend my time on something different.
