Semester 2 Reflection Paragraph

While semester I heavily developed my writing skills, semester 2 is when I got to fully apply them. I worked on my novella, Grey, for a while, but then switched to writing shorter pieces. I think I have really developed a creative voice in my writing through this course. I have learned to express my thoughts in an interesting way that reaches my readers. Creative writing has opened up my mind to different types of writing, such as poetry. Before, I was never an avid poetry lover. But, throughout semester 2 I have written some and I now love it. Also, my short pieces are a big accomplishment for me. I am very proud of them because they show my immense improvement from the beginning of the year. My piece about the concert, although fictional, brought the reader into the moment. It was exhilarating to both write and for my friends to read. I loved writing it! Writing creatively is a good outlet for me because it allows me to creatively voice my opinion. Writing has always been important to me, but with all my accomplishments of this year and my pieces from semester 2 in particular, I really feel that I have improved. This has been a great year for my writing skills to develop, and I feel this class truly did that for me.
