Victor Intro

Before Writing 101 I never knew how to turn off my “inner editor” as I would begin writing my rough drafts. I always would revise as I went along and I would never just let my imagination flow onto the paper on its own. Doing free writes and other exercises in class helped me to let my fingers pound out a few a paragraphs without even thinking about mistakes, grammatical errors, or structure. Throughout this class I experienced a lot of peer revision and I learned that having a lot of different people read and critique your paper is one of the most helpful things you can do for a solid revision.

Even though the thought of taking my hands, balling them into fists and smashing my keyboard repeatedly until the keys scattered the room, I really did find this class a helpful necessity to further my future in writing. I learned a lot of different styles of writing and I learned to incorporate my opinion into a lot of the essays. This course both refreshed my memory on writing and expanded my knowledge in many different ways.
