Workshop

Throughout my academic career, my writing has mostly been persuasive and it's what I've grown confident of. I've always loved the idea of creative writing but I it felt so foreign to me, whereas persuasive writing comes naturally and I am conscious of its strengths and weaknesses. When I would write creatively, I was never pleased with what I wrote; I guess that the unfamiliarity with it made me feel detached from it in an emotional sense as well as in a way where I couldn't tell if it was good or not (if that makes sense). Workshop really put into perspective the value of my creative writing. I honestly thought my poem wasn't exactly the best but having everyone give really positive feedback about it helped me become more conscious about my writing and the details that make it good. Generally, workshop helped me become more aware and confident with my creative writing which not only encourages me to engage in it even more, but also helps me find my voice and identity as a creative writer. There a really no setbacks with workshop, my experience was entirely positive. (:
