What I am loving most about this class so far is the FREEDOM. In the past, I have dreaded any class that involved a lot of writing. Thinking about it now, I recognize that what I actually disliked was being forced to write boring papers with boring formats about boring subjects ⎯ not the actual act of writing. Now that I actually have the opportunity to write about cool stuff that interests me, I realize that I LOVE writing. Whatta revelation…(almost a decade in the making)…
I truly had a lot of fun writing my PB-1A. It took me a little while to get started, but once I did, the words would not stop flowing ⎯ and for someone who has writer’s block more often than not, that was a fantastic feeling. PB-1B was cool too, it helped me solidify my understand about genres and their varying conventions.. Oh, side-note, I wrote a paper about Decoupling Fiber-Optic Cables from Public-Private Key Pairs in the Turing Machine, y’all should really check it out. Anyway, this week we learned about a lot of different things. One of my favorite topics we covered was the Hyphen v. Dash lesson. Honestly, this was definitely something that I feel like I should have known how to distinguish a long time ago, so I am quite glad that I am finally being educated about it now. Zack’s writing tips are also something that I really appreciated, especially the one about having a placeholder in your writing for those times when you’re stuck on a word but don’t want to lose your momentum. I have a feeling that’s going to come in handy.
Overall, I have been getting really good vibes from this class; I think Zack’s enthusiasm about writing has definitely been rubbing off on me. I’m excited to see what’s coming up next!
