Hey,

This is the first blog post that I have ever done in my life. I would just like to talk about expectations going into this class and how it ended up turning out. During my senior year of high school, my english elective was Creative Writing. Although we did do a section on poetry, I was basically writing short stories the whole time. I ended up really getting into writing fiction stories.

This semester I actually wanted to take CRW- fiction writing, but the class was full. I saw this class and I thought to myself, "I like all types of writing, I should do this instead." Going into this class, I expected that I would have to write a massive amount of poetry and have it graded. I was wrong. We're learning poetry language, how to write poetry, how to get connected with our muse, etc. This class is way better than what I expected it to be. I'm actually learning how to make my writing better and I'm watching it evolved.

At first, my Muse writes were all short stories. I couldn't write in any other way. Now, I'm actually writing "poetry". I'm including line breaks, rhythm, emotion, sound, etc. I like where my work is going. I actually can't wait to go further in this course, learn more, read more, and write more. Thumbs up to this course.
