Their Autobiographies

I began creative writing with a small task - tell me about yourself and your writing experiences. Here is what they had to say. Their thoughts and insights have me thinking - pondering not only what we will do in this course but what I (and others) do or don't do enough of.

I don't have time

A relaxing hobby
Enjoyable to me

I always dread

Favorite type is free writing
Means a lot to me (talking about a story written in 8th grade)
Enjoy being able to write

Write about

ourselves

or

something we 

are interested in

. . . Let alone have enough time to write anything . . .

Used to enjoy writing

I have no time to write

Free range topics

Writing 

whatever

I feel my mind 

is wanting 

to spill that day.

Free write

Enjoyable as well as 

frustrating

Broaden my horizons -
able to express myself like I haven't before

When it comes to writing, I 

am 

not 

a work 

of art

I use my writing to express

how I feel

Real world type of writing

Write what you like . . . expand that topic . . . break it down into pieces

I get to choose

what

I write about . . .                                           students don't get that opportunity enough in school

A way to express themselves

Getting the motivation to write

It is your's; no one else's
