First semester self reflection:

I think that as the semester blew by my writing has undoubtedly evolved.  This class has allowed me to explore genres of which I never would have expected to write about.  These genres include plays and memoirs.  The most appealing aspect of the class to me was that I can continue my love of writing poetry of all kinds and improve it.  For the second semester, I want to write a longer poetry piece(long term project) and I would also like to possibly create another play.  Attempting to write a play was probably the most challenging assignment in the class so far!  

I think that I am most proud of my play titled "The Conundrum" because as the days mounted and I learned more and more from the playwriting workshop, I felt like I was becoming much more creative.  I was not just creating a play that was one dimensional.  Through the play and my numerous poems, i feel that my sentence structure has evolved tremendously.  I can now look at a writing assignment through a more creative lens.  Although I can sometimes be a bit wordy in my English class essays, I do not think that this is a problem in Creative Writing.  At the end of the year, I want to be able to say that I dabbled in most, if not all aspects of writing creatively.  I also want my creativity to keep growing, as I do not plan to abandon writing poetry as I move on from high school.
