We received numerous
worksheets to help us write our second paper. They centered on exercises
that prompt us to richly illustrate parts for our paper. For me it was
hard. I am not a creative writing person. It is difficult for me to
try to break out of my bubble. Try as I might, I am barely stretching out
of my comfort zone. It is tough and excruciating. I feel like I am banging my head on a
wall.
Trying to go around and
around to describe scenes in an interesting way is not easy for me. I am literal. I read EXACTLY what is written; there is no
reading between the lines with me. Tell me what you mean and mean what you say. Trying to describe scenes in the movies is more
like word for word dialog with me. I concentrate on the words and not necessarily on the way they are
spoken or the body language of the person speaking.
As I rework my paper in
my mind, I am slowly going crazy. I need to find the happy medium. One where I fulfill all the parameters of the
assignment AND where I feel like I did a good job.
