Creative class

idealistic aspiration for creative writing. Though, when I got to high school I joined yearbook. It became my biggest commitment in high school and by my senior year, I was one of the head editors. Around this time, I had no plan for what I wanted to pursue, I was caught between journalism and creative writing. It’s one of the main reasons I decided to attend RCC. Both styles of writing are what I wish to pursue, but I still feel caught in the middle. Before taking this class, I had not thought…

Before ENG 202, which was my first college-level English class, my general conception of “English” as an academic discipline was different. For instance, prior to this my general conception of “English” essentially revolved around reading and writing comprehension skills. In fact, in high school I spent a lot of time analyzing different forms of text like novels, poems, and photos, and then writing about them. When analyzing these texts the teacher had us focus more on theme, tone, and…

stories, I didn 't like them. I didn’t they were necessary. I had a creative writing class in the 11th grade. The class was just put on my schedule. I didn’t want the class so, just like the other students in that class, I tried to get out it. Nobody could leave. Therefore, I expected the worst. I was wrong about creative writing. It wasn’t bad at all. The teacher always had fun activities for us to do. One day, she gave the class an assignment to write a short story about anything. At…

a fierce workload. Now that I have nearly completed my degree, I have been giving more thought to my writing as a whole, and after my Intro to Creative Writing class this semester, I knew that I had to pursue my writing goals. Writing takes the work of art you wish to create and not only manifests it into a written world, but creates new dreams. Creative writing reaches audiences far longer and far deeper than a work of fine art. When I would finish a novel or poem, I would set down the…

hope. Writing had always been one of my difficult challenges, but the desire inside of me learning new things always push me to accept the challenges. In fact, learning a new language stays always challenging to every person. However, English 111 class has taught me many things that I never thought I will do it. The first assignment that we did a reading response to Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Draft” has taught me that people learn from their mistakes, and nobody is perfect. Lamott says, “Almost…

high school. Entering from that class to an actual college English class was very different than what I thought. In the dual enrollment course it was more focused on creative writing than technical writing. In the dual enrollment course it was more of a literature class and I thought college English would resemble that more. We would have an assignments to discuss literature and journals to help us practice writing creatively. I think that my AP English four class in high school was more of a…

seldom feel creative enough to want to write outside of work anymore. 2. Have you ever taken any creative writing courses in the past or done any type of creative writing on your own? In what genres (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, etc.) do you like to write? What kinds of subjects do you like to write about? Yes, I took a creative writing class in undergrad.…

I’ve learned many valuable lessons during my ENG 101 class and listing only two is difficult, but I will do my best. The first lesson I’ve learned is writing is a step by step process that will lead to a successful product if the process is followed. During this process, I incorporated Smarthinking, friends, and family for constructive feedback. With each rewrite, the paper took on a new shape, as if I were sculpting or painting a masterpiece. I kept a neutral attitude in receiving the…

was very little, I was more interested in watching a documentary than your standard kid’s show. So, in the tenth grade, when I had to take a creative writing class, I was not very excited about it. However, it was there that I would learn a number of writing skills that would help me in my future writing experiences. I learned a great lesson from that class in that even classes that you might not enjoy can help you later on. The very first essay that we were assigned to write was a descriptive…

to work on throughout this semester is being concise in my writing. Being concise can not only help get my point across the table better but to also prevent being monotonous. In class, I tend to love sharing pieces of creative writing amongst the class since it gives me a sense of relief and accomplishment. I enjoy creative writing as the possibilities for a piece of writing are endless; although it…
