Task 1 Thoughts
At first when given the assignment for task one, I was overwhelmed with ideas that had popped into my head. I have thought of many people, places or events that are in my life that I could easily write about. For people i've narrowed it down to my mom, my grandpa, my first basketball coach, my brother, my friend who had passed away when I was in 8th grade, my father or my best friend. For places i've narrowed it down to the outdoors, my room and a basketball court. For events I have the first time I touched a basketball, playing varsity as an underclassman, or my childhood. Ive narrowed it down to those things and even though I have alot of ideas its because as of right now thats all i can narrow it too. All these ideas all mean significance to me in some way, shape or form. Problems that i'm worried about would be that sometimes when i write about certain events I have a tendency to get to into the emotion. I anticipate that hopefully I will not do this when writing for task 1. I don't really have any questions for this task.

Hi Paige,
ReplyDeleteYou have ALOT of ideas that you are interested in writing about. I can easily see that you are overwhelmed. At this stage, I would encourage you to narrow your focus down to at least 3 subjects you are interested in writing about. Even though freewriting may not be part of your process, I would encourage you to freewrite about these 3 subjects. After this, let the writing breathe. After some time, revisit these writings and see what you are most interested in writing about (e.g. developing).
