At the beginning of the semester, I asked you to tell us about your experience with creative writing. You, of course, all had required reading in school. We’ve all read poems, stories, and personal essays but, as you’ve learned, writing them is a completely different experience.
You wrote a letter to your creative genius, looking toward your relationship this semester. For this week’s journal entry, look back on your letter and your writing. Did you keep your commitment? How was your relationship to your genius successful? Where could it use some work? Also, comment on how you’ve changed as a creative writer. What have you learned in these last four months? How will you carry this with you into your life? Will you continue to write creatively, even for fun?
