Before this class, I haven’t really written many memoirs. I thought that writing only consisted of more beautiful pieces such as poems. I didn’t really want to explore what else was in the writing world. I was scared of anything that wasn’t familiar. As I was writing these memoirs in class I realized that I actually enjoy writing them and that I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable because something challenges me. I have a fear of feeling incompetent, so in this case, if I were to write a memoir, I wouldn’t want it to not make sense. My peers have been pretty supportive though and my professor has what I feel, to be honest, respectful feedback. Just what I need to continue this new world I’m beginning to explore.
