Workshopping and Blogging! Our last post

Workshopping 

Workshopping can be a little nerve racking in the beginning of every semester because you don't really know everyone too well and for all I know someone can be like "think stinks." But really it's very helpful and all our classmates are nice and have great advice. My peers have seen so many ways to improve my work that I was pretty much blind to. So I give Workshopping two thumbs up.


Blogging

When I found out we had to start a blog for class I was all for it. Doing homework through a blog is a fun way to go! I also like that I can read my peers blogs and learn a little something from them. But seriously less IS more because no one wants to read a novel on a blog.

Living writers

Hi bloggers,

So basically I just want to write a little bit about the WPU Writers Conference I went to a few weeks ago. It was a little boring sitting through the lectures (not gonna lie) but overall it was helpful.
I learned about revision which is very important and basically little things like writers block tips. My favorite part was of course the actual workshop. I joined professor Liu's workshop and he's obviously amazing ( and also my adv. creative writing prof). He talked about poetry and line breaks. Who knew line breaks were so important? He did of course! So when you break a line in poetry it puts emphasis on the last word before the break. It makes it somewhat more dramatic and can make a big difference when it comes to interpretation.
P.s i thought this was extra credit but it's not ...boo.
