Week 7: Back Up and Review

"You want your sentences to live, not to join the living dead."- Helen Sword (see link from photo)
This quote is from the video "Zombie Nouns," which is a video about normalization. I learned a great deal from this video. I did not know that in creative story writing that something so simple to fix could either make your readers engage in the story, or drift to sleep. Active verbs are important. I did not realize how much I use normalization in my every day writing for marketing.

I liked this particular graphic because of the colors. It was a plus that I liked what it said too. I think it is a beautiful creative picture.

Back up and Review

Reality This week has been tough for me with work and my school load. I am working on managing my time more effectively. I am going to get caught up with everything soon. I have group projects in all my classes except this one. It can just be challenging to find the time. My favorite graphic is the girl running away from the ghost with “reality” written on it. She is running into a book, which sums up my life in so many ways. I love reading to get out of my own head. It is a chance to explore another world and feel emotions that the characters are feeling. It is nice to escape responsibilities sometimes. Taking a bath and reading is my favorite thing to do. Failing Superman was the most interesting video I found. I am a little on the nerdy side, so using superheroes to explain information about different people and what others are capable of. It talks about asking everyone to do the same task when everyone has a different set of skills.

All the Assignments...

I am intrigued by the stories we get to write about. I love reading stories from different parts of the world. I am very excited for the extra credit and I know making time for the extra credit is difficult, but worth it. I love when a professor takes the time to set up their class in such a unique way. It really shows that they love what they do and I cannot be more appreciative. I am ready to give this class my full attention. Too Tired to Function
