Mike Bunn

In the article by Mike Bunn, Bunn says that “you are already an author”. I think what he means by this is that we are all authors from the moment we start writing on a piece of paper. We all are, whether its writing notes, a joke, an essay, whatever it may be, even your own life. Someone said, “We are the authors of our own lives” and I agree with it because we live in what we have created. It’s about showing a sense of emotions, or Ideas, it can be through any platform, on a piece of paper, or online. My two favorite way I like to write is in Third-person, and first-person. I am really into writing stories, I love to create my own stories, making them funny, sad, happy, etc. I like to create emotions, make others feel different emotions throughout the story. It’s about the reaction from the reader for me. There are no restrictions on writing a story it’s what you want and your imagination and no judgment. I am not that much of a talker or presenting or anything, so I feel like writing stories is my way of escape from being shy. The existing expertise in writing will help me due to what I already know and will elevate my writing skills by looking at other techniques and see what I can use from them. There was one thing I noticed in Bunn’s article that I wouldn’t like to try but I have done is when he mentioned working in a theater and saying that he would have to focus intently on each word, and he would have to read sentences multiple times. I do that every time I read because I didn’t understand something or couldn’t see it.

This Picture represents how you usually deal with situations you don’t like, you always tell yourself you can’t do it and you give up on it. When you come back at the end of the semester the T better be cut off and you have better been able to do anything that life has thrown at you.

Assignment #1

i am feeling some type of way towards these online classes. I personally think  that they are not as effective as to having class in person. I understand that this is the way that our lives are at the moment but i believe online classes are not as helpful. We’re at home , there are so many other things we could be doing like sleeping, playing games, being outside, etc.  I just hope this semester that our professor which i am sure she will, will find a way to keep things interesting for us students.
