I think I have grown a lot as a writer this semester and that growth is what I am most proud of. This semester I was able to take 3 writing classes and each I believe has helped me improve my writing skills. From Web Writing I learned how to analyze my audience! I find this skill very important because who knows I might start a professional Instagram in the future, and I will want to analyze my audience to improve my content. Another thing I learned in Web Writing is that there are many style differences in the language use different in posts online. From Craft of Writing, I learned SO many things about style techniques and how to analyze prose to identify the techniques. This is important to me because I am inspired by several writers who have unique styles, being able to figure out what device they're using can help me write in the style I want in different situations. And I learned to appreciate historical fiction! Last but not least, my media writing fiction class. I learned how to write a screenplay and I wrote a screenplay. Now, screenwriting is not a goal of mine but learning the format and how to build a 3-act story is very helpful for my future. I am generally so glad I took media writing fiction because I was able to explore my creativity and in that process I surprised myself!

Overall, I'm really proud of my growth as a writer this semester.

My favorite part about learning is when I learn something and realize I learned it later on. Let me explain. When I learn something, I am usually able to connect it to something else. For example, in the beginning of my degree, I learned about Freud and Pavlov. It is surprising how many times Freud and or Pavlov are mentioned in shows and other media. I have been rewatching Friends and I just saw an episode where Joey is in a musical about Freud and sings a funny song. So, I love that when I learn I am able to connect the ideas in my everyday life. Even if it's just being able to understand a joke in Friends!

Hello! As I mentioned before I am a creative writing and publishing minor, so, I really want to write a book in the future. Do you have any recommended reading materials or resources you suggest for aspiring writers to learn from? Do you have any advice about becoming confident in creative writing? Let me know! :) @npfannen

The only experience I have with a canceled tv show is "I am not okay with this", from Netflix. I had no idea the show was cancelled when I watched it, but I wish I had known so I could have decided not to watch it. The show is incredible and had a crazy ending, but we'll never get to see what comes next due to its cancellation. I believe it was cancelled due to COVID-19 interfering with production and filming. I just wish they took a break instead of a cancelation.

It's just that time of semester! I'm incredibly overwhelmed and stressed with the semester coming to an end. On top of all the assignments I am stressed about packing for move out. And I am behind in this course which leads me to feel overwhelmed and unmotivated because I don't know what to prioritize.

I have some questions about assignments:

Should I focus on what is due soon or what is past due?

For the design project, do you want part 1 and 2 as separate submissions, or should I submit both part 1 and 2 for this week's deliverable?

I apologize for my lateness in assignments, but I really appreciate your kindness and understanding. Let me know if you have any suggestions. @npfannen

Drawstring hoodies are well-designed! You can tighten your hood with the drawstring if you happen to be cold or if the wind keeps blowing your hood off. The large pocket in the front is comfortable and convenient to warm your hands. You can also carry things in the pocket if you pleased. Overall, I love the design of hoodies!
