This week we learned more about the power of story and how it can affect others who are listening to the story. Everyone's story matters and putting it in your own story can help others listening connect to the story.
Also in this week we learned about writing and how creative writing is deeper than the surface. I also learned personally that if you just "let go" as you’re writing you will get the rawest feelings instead of trying to focus on editing. Our class this week did a free writing, this is how I experienced firsthand, you just zone in on what you are writing and you forget about everything else around you. I have changed my thought about writing because of this class and the way the teacher is different from others, if you truly think about writing it’s another form of telling your own story. The fact that writing is another form of storytelling interest me a lot because I’ve always enjoyed telling friends, family, and others my personal life stories. Diving deeper into what storytelling and writing actually is has increased my perspectives on writing, as I have always thought that it was boring. Writing more helped me to understand that it is not boring, but instead allows me an outlet to talk about my personal experiences. These are just the few of the reasons why I enjoy reading and writing more and why this class has helped me become a better story teller and reader overall.
