Wk 10 - Writing changed..

I have noticed that my writing has changed this semester. In High School, I couldn’t just start typing a paper right when I was givin a topic. But once I started ENG 105 I am getting a little more comfortable about writing. It’s making me express my feelings, especially in the blogs on how the writing goes for us.
On Friday, we were assigned to do a horror story and come up with catchy lines and over-all make it scary. The story could be anything we wanted and it was going into a contest. The prize was just a homework pass, and the students were buzzing their brains trying to make their stories perfect in order to win. Well my first feeling was I suck at stories, how can I do this? Well my paper didn’t get very far because I had some problems thinking of a great topic. The substitute was going around and seeing how everyone was doing and I had nothing. He gave me ideas and I tried to go along with it. I noticed there were a few others that were having problems and they were going to put this assignment off too. But after I thought about it, we could have used our free homework pass we got from Stephanie but I thought I could use that for a “harder assignment” because it wasn’t too hard to think of a horror story. The subs idea for the horror story didn’t work out like I wanted it to so I changed it.
I decided I’ll try to do this at home because it was due that Monday. Come to realize, after I did this story I am a better writer at home instead of in the classroom. It was so much easier for me to sit on my laptop and go on and on with my horror story. I think its kinda crazy that I can’t just write up a paper while in class but I can at home. Everybody is different on their writing techniques so I’m hoping by the end of this semester I will over come my problem with writing and develop my papers in class without writing them at home.
