I think my personal narrative went well. I definitely could have used more time though. I totally agree with the quote on how “good writing is never done its just due”. I was looking at my paper before I handed it in and there were some spots that I wish I had more time to sand down a little bit better. I’m glad we had this assignment though (and I never say that about assignments… ever). And the reason is that I really feel like I started to enjoy writing for once. I like telling stories orally but this was the first time that I have done it on paper and have edited to the extent that I did.
It was such a neat experience to see my voice come through on paper and watch the rough edges of the story get rubbed away. I feel like it could have been polished a lot more. I think this will be one of those papers I’m glad I did, but I will look back on it in a few years and be surprised how far I have come (meaning the paper really wasn’t that great but I felt like it was at the time).
The hardest part I had with this paper were a few paragraphs that no matter how I changed them they just sounded awkward. The coolest part of this paper though, was to have people peer edit my writing and see it become ten times better every time. I almost wanted everyone to edit my paper because it helped it so much.
Maybe one day I will try to write a short novel like Sister Elliot. But I definitely have a lot more learning to do before then.
