As the months have gone by I found genuine amusement in writing short stories. It felt relieving to write my pieces of literature without worrying about english literature rules that have been jammed into my head since high school. Being able to express my creativity and create this scenario that brings me to tears and envelops my reader to want to see what happens next is exhilarating. On top of that when my peers read my writing and are actually able to find flaws it only inspires me to be better, I’m one to think that my writing was always incredible until the cohort critiques came in and I saw just how subpar my writing really was. I could see myself improving not only in this class but in all the classes I’ve been taking this semester seeing how I took the time to make sure things were as detailed as possible or made sense to not only myself but the reader.
