This class has taught me a lot about literature. Along with its romantic qualities are its repulsive ones and both are equally as enticing and important to read. Personally, I feel that I started off the year strong with a story very close to my heart. However, as the weeks went on, I found myself confused about my writing as I was thrust into a world of assignments that took me out of my comfort zone. A lot of the time I felt lost, like things weren’t flowing like they usually had. In truth, things became very tough and suddenly I couldn’t find words to write. As I sit here now I am realizing that this state I am currently in, one where I am constantly searching for the right words, is probably the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Although the flow is distant, I am flooded with the ambition to retrieve it which has ultimately made me a better writer. I have realized it is okay to write things you don’t like and t0 constantly want to embellish them. I have learned it is best to have outside feedback and listen to what people have to say.

In terms of the myth project, I am feeling very shaky about my studio presentation. I am very confused about the concept and overall delivery of my art. However, I am able to take that nervousness and recognize it as that distant flow state which I believe will carry me into a satisfying final project.
