Becoming a Writer

Hello all. Nothing significant has really happened since my last post, I just wanted to make a quick post. I am so incredibly proud of myself lately. I am usually the world's worst procrastinator, but I have been doing my work in a timely manner (aka a few days before it's due). Also, I cannot begin to explain how nervous I was about taking 2 creative writing classes. I have never really explored with creative writing, mostly I've written narratives or analytical literary essays. I think I was trying to resist or put off the moment that I needed to examine myself and my life. But this semester being emerged in poetry and creativity, I think I have really flourished. I have been actively writing poetry to meet my 37 poem assignment, so I've been getting a lot of practice and experience. Looking back at my first poems, I think I've really come into my voice and developed a specific style. It's such an awesome experience to be in a class of 4 students where we mainly examine our own poetry and have workshops every week. There's a lot of positivity and it makes such an overwhelming thing much less scary. I am extremely thankful that I've been able to have this experience because it has helped me "find myself" as a writer, as cliche as that sounds. It's just very rewarding, and I think I have the right to be proud of it. I just wanted to share in my excitement.
