Reflection Of Creative Writing: The Body Of Writing

Description

The body of work that I have created while completing my daily disciplines of writing (DDW) is of a unique and irregular pattern. After I counted all the days I logged onto my chart, I have written thirty-four DDWs. It was extremely difficult for me to recount the exact number because I inadequately record my daily disciplines. I know that my amount may not be 100% accurate because there were times that I would go weeks without recording a single daily discipline on my log sheet. Factoring the Blackboard discussions that have occurred throughout the semester, my number count would rise significantly. There has been a total of seven different discussions and I have contributed an original post to six of the seven current discussions.

I wrote mainly small and quick lists, such as to-do lists and shopping lists. Then as we got deeper into the semester, my writing began to take a more academic turn. There is one week in January in which all my logged DDWs were a Civics paper about Edmund J. Randolph. Later on, there was a week in February that all my daily disciplines were about the Affordable Care Act. The rest of my academic DDWs were either creative writing prompts or do now activities given to me by you. I remember there was one point in time during late January and early February that I was writing creative stories without prompts. The timing was a bit inappropriate because I was writing them during other classes when I got bored, but I was proud of myself for being dedicated to my daily disciplines and enhancing my imagination. If we are taking numbers, out of the thirty-four DDWs that I have logged, seventeen of them were specially done in class or related to this

In addition, my writing has been through two major phases. In the first couple of weeks of school, the focus of my daily disciplines revolved around diary entries, short stories. Later on, when we got into reading Persepolis, my writing was more academic based and focused on reflecting about the novel. I believe that my writing took an academic turn as the year progressed because the class had begun to pick up the pace and become more serious. The daily discipline prompted my personal diary style entries; I have tried and failed to maintain a diary in the past, but the daily discipline ignited my flame. Also, The creative stories were an additional outcome of the daily discipline; I was able to explore the depths of my mind and created an anthology series of some sort that I would enjoy revisiting. The series consisted of short stories with each story focusing on a different girl in the same universe. The first short story, titled “The Girl”, described a girl who had regretted the decisions she had made in the past and vowed to create a better life for herself. The second short story, titled “A Different Girl” (not that creative, I know), was about a girl who didn 't need anyone. She is the definition of an independent woman. An excerpt from my second story: “I’ll never let myself down. On my own, no one can
