What are you most proud of with your writing process?

I am not afraid to be a little chaotic when it comes to drafting and writing. I prefer to write out everything at once and then go in and make changes because it is hard to picture what direction you want to go in without something to work off of. I take pride in the process it took to perfect my writing routine.

What do you like most about your learning?

I have always learn best through experience and trial and error, and I am thankful to have had the ability to do that through this class. Making mistakes and gaining feedback from my peers has helped me to become a better learner and web writer.

Where will you adjust your essay to strengthen your point?

While I am still working on my essay, one thing I plan to do to strengthen my point is stick to my personal style of writing. When I am doing school assignments, I tend to stray from that which ends up hurting me in the end. I know that if I stick to what I know for this assignment, my point will come across in a much smoother way.

What questions do you have about web writing that will help you after you finish this course?

My main question is about what I can expect about the future of the Internet, specifically AI. Will AI take over? What will that mean for web writing? I feel like have an understanding of this will play a huge role in learning about web writing in the future.

What is the work of this sample? How can we help you revise?

Here is my announcement post for the design project. I wanted to word it in a way that seemed sympathetic towards fans while also providing a hashtag for fans to respond.

Share an example of your favorite television show or movie - how does that show/movie help you work through this project and understand angry fandom?

Share an example of your experience as a fan of a show that was cancelled. Help us feel the feels.

I used to watch a show called "Young & Hungry" about a young and broke adult woman trying to make it as a chef. She ends up becoming a personal chef for this rich and she grows closer with him and his maid and publicist. The show was really lighthearted and goofy and I used to casually watch it when I was having a bad day because it'd bring me comfort. They ended the show at five and a half seasons due to low ratings I believe. That show had so much potential and lacked a bittersweet ending to tie it all in together which is why I am so bummed it was canceled.

We are nearing the end of the semester, what questions do you have about naming and transferring the writing skills you developed in this class to real world, real life, work situations?

What I am really interested in is knowing how to keep learning how to web write beyond this class. It is my understanding that the internet is an ever changing thing, which means web writing will change with it. I want to know how to stay up to date on my web writing skills as time progresses.

Paper clips are an example of a great design because they keep papers together without poking holes in them like a stapler would.
