Workshop Groups

To me my writing is extremely personal. Even when my writing isnt about my personal life I am not always ok with other reading it. I thought that this experience with the workshop groups was going to be terrible. I didnt want anything to do with it. On the other hand I knew it was going to help my writing in the long run. After reading the essays that I had to read for my group I realized that everyones writing was personal and I was no different. I truely enjoyed the essays that I read. I was interested in what my classemates had to say and the different creative wyas that they got thier points across in thier writing. When I came into class I was ready for the worst, I know writing it not my strength and I know that all of my writing needs alot of work. I felt like our group did an extremely good job making sure to point out the positives in everyones work, so when they told me the things that I should change to make my essay stronger I knew that they were truly just trying to help me become a better writer. I felt like this was a good experience for me because it helped me notice the good things about the my writing as opposed to the usual bad news that you hear from teachers when they grade essays. I now look forward to more workshops like this and know that it is all for my benefit.
