Here i will be writing a letter to my husband while he is away at training.
Dear Mr. Holbrook,
How have you been? Since you have been goon things have been so different. In my writing class a have to make a webpage and every week i'm putting up new blogs about you mostly and the things i'v done over the weekend. We recently had to writing a creative nonfiction essay about what has been happening this past month. So of course I wrote about you and the day you left. Writing this story had me in tears because it felt like I was reliving everything all over again and the pain just comes back even though you wont be gonna for that long i'm just not used to you not being here. When first writing this paper I was so confused I wasn't sure at what I was doing or if I was doing it right. (Draft 1)When I wrote it I had let one of my classmates read over it and he told me that it was all wrong and you know how I am when I think its wrong and someone else tells me its wrong then I believe its all wrong. So when I handed in my essay I tried to fix it up and I let him read it. I was so surprised that he told me I was doing it right problem was I needed to add more developing and less dialog about the story to set it and get people to know what was going on and who was around. I had parts in my essay that did not need to be there punctuation and capitalization I needed the purpose for my story. For my second revision I took out what was not needed and now I had to pick up the pace fix minor punctuation and give more of whats going on in the essay like why he is leaving. When it's all said and done after I put all the changes I needed to put in it my final draft came out good. I would look over all of my drafts and I noticed how far I came I am proud of myself I notice that I am becoming a better writer. In class we looked at this short movie of a man playing the piano. We had to write down what we seen in the short movie it was so interesting how many people came out with their own different perceptions of what they saw and what they think was happening in the movie. Right now for class we are writing a I-Search paper. What I chose to talk about was how money is valued so heavily in america. At the beginning my first draft I did not know what to write about. I was so back and forth on if I should write about money vs. health or just money and how we let it control our life. But thinking about it now they are both incorporated in my essay some how it just took me some time to understand how I should write it out. For the I-Search paper I had to write four part the proposal, process, paper, and the ponder. The paper and proposal was what I got done first because I feel so strongly about the topic I chose. When the class was first assigned this assignment I didn't think nothing of it. But as time went on and it came close to being due I started to panic asking my teacher to check the progress every chance I got. I also asked one of my classmates to look over it as well so I feel good about the out come of my I-Search paper.
