For whatever reason, this week writing seemed to be the main theme. It also is a happy coincidence that it happened to ‘click’ for me this week. Sure, I don’t know anywhere near everything about writing, but the bit that I do know finally makes sense. Perhaps it’s the good feeling that comes from finally finishing a piece that I thought was great, and perhaps I just intuitively understood it suddenly (maybe a bit of both?). Whatever the reason, writing is interesting now. That interest certainly was not wasted this week. I wrote what I will call the first version of my short story “Lost in Memory” as I plan to update it in the future. I really struggled to make time to write outside of class, so I probably will finish it last minute on Sunday night. The writing process work we did this week was helpful since it coincided with my sudden interest in writing (more on how long that interest lasts in a future post). I also think the guest speaker was relevant and useful, even if it was just his explanation of why other people not liking your writing is not the end of the world that really stood out. I hope that my excitement with writing lasts into the next few weeks so I can truly finish my short story, even if the version I turned in was a complete story. If you visit this page from outside the AP Lit ecosystem at my school and wish to view my work, the homepage of the site has links to works I write during the class. If you're interested in "Lost in Memory" (you know you are) you can read it here.
