Free write thoughts from class

In class we were asked to discuss how we felt in regard to the freedom we had the last week in our class. Then, in addition we were asked what we learned about ourselves as writers and then how we can make changes in the future. My thoughts on these questions are as follows.

This week I learned a lot about myself as a writer. I learned that I am good at organizing my thoughts, achieving my goals, and completing that goal by getting it on paper or online through a blog. I did this by making sure I made a post each day of the week. I made sure I watched my documentary and that my professor knew I did. Then, I showed I had watched it by blogging about my initial reactions. These reactions took the form of answers to four reflective questions that were posted for us. These questions allowed me to dive into the film further and then allowed me a more in-depth look at something I would need to summarize at a later time. Unfortunately, I did procrastinate with putting my first complete draft together. So, I had some errors that need to be fixed, but it's a rough draft and I know mistakes are expected.

With that being said, in the future I need to manage my tie more effectively. If I had made just a little more time for myself to create my final summary I think it could have been much better and it is not bad to start with. So, in order to do this I think planning out my days and leaving an hour for draft creation or revision each day could make a big difference.

Further, with the week concluded, it feels great having a tangible draft done though. It makes you feel accomplished and that you have done a good job, which is a step in the right direction. It may not be complete and fantastic yet,  but with more effort and revision it will get where I want and need it to go.
