Post 4

I really enjoyed doing the assignment for this week. I thought it was a really interesting prompt and made it easy to get the ideas flowing. I liked that there were more specific guidelines and that the subject was narrowed some for us. For some reason these guidelines made me feel more directed and therefore confident making it easier for me to be more creative.  I did have a little trouble not drifting back to the traditional cliche view of my object, which was a window, but overall I really enjoyed doing it. I think it will be interesting to see how the rest of the class interpreted this assignment, especially if anyone chose the second option which seemed too daunting for me to even know how to begin. I am finding that as the class goes on I am becoming more comfortable with writing and I am not wasting so much time stressing over a subject, its easier and I find that it creates a better product if I just go with my first instinctive idea. I also enjoyed the workshop, although beforehand I was very nervous to share my poems out loud. I thought the feedback overall was very positive and constructive, and I actually ended up feeling more confident with my poems than I had before Tuesday's class so thanks for the help guys! See you all in class!
