Writing Class 1:How and Why I write

Welcome back to my blog, This is my first specialist class for the term and I am beyond  excited.Bettina is my new specialist tutor as I  switched from film to writing.

The aim of this class was to self-assess and develop your writing skills that will make you a m=better writer .In this class ,we answered series of questions that enabled us to think deep and recognised our weak points as well as our strong points .Furthermore,we had some in class discussions that helped us to explore other factors that influences our writing as well as my fellow classmates.

What makes a good creative writer?-Bettina asked the class and the responses given allowed me to looked within my self to find an answer to that question.
I said time management after listening to what everyone had said.This is because for me the main thing I struggle with is time .I feel like I don't use my time wisely and I am currently working on that.
Hye jin said patience and hard work which i believe is significant to not only writer but everyone that has a goal .Being patient will allow you to stay determined and focus and unwilling to give up while being hard hardworking will ensure you're giving your all to whatever work you're doing.
Anna  followed that by saying life experiences.I could relate to this answer because anytime I have to do a project I always look through my experiences and memories and pick an ides from there.This is because it is easier for me to creatively and effectively write when i have a connection to whatever the topic is.
Cristina answered writing from feelings.I believe this is true because when i'm reading a book I am always able to feel the emotions being conveyed by the writer which shows that the writer wrote with feeling and the text has meaning.This is what I really appreciate in established writers and i hope to emulate them in my work.

Bettina also shared her list

  • having a message to share
  • having a deep interest in that message
  • enable your audience to feel the ideas you express
  • know your genre
  • make audience 'suspend their disbelief'

Later on towards the end of the class we ha to write  300 words magazine article about how and why i write. It was quite difficult for me initially but i was able to talk about the main reason why i write ,my experiences.I haven't been through a lot but people i love have so that inspires me alot.

In my next post I will be writing about developing my idea.

see you in my next post

FINAL WORK ON SEQUENTIAL IMAGES

This is post is to show the final work on the sequential images I created. FINAL RESULT!! This collage was achieved using  pixlr  editor. I organised the photos in a specific order so that it can be viewed from front to back and vice versa. I am really proud of my work. however, while editing I realized I should have taken the pictures all from the same angle so they can look more identical but I couldn't redo the pictures cause I had already eaten all the grapes.

INDOMIE: INDONESIAN NOODLES (project sample)

Most times when I cook I always take pictures to show the process and the transformation process of foods. I like to know how dishes are made, the origin and what it is made of. I think this is very important because a lot of people are not aware of what their food contains. These pictures were taken weeks ago and I am posting them because I really like Indomie and for a long time, I taught they were introduced firstly in Nigeria but it is Indonesian born.                                                                                     I boiled the noodles in the sachets to make them edible and I boiled the egg. Indomie noodles come with sachet seasonings. when the Indomie was soft enough to my preference, I added the seasonings and red pepper then mixed it all up .t...

Writing 6 : Idolect

For this post ,I am going to be discussing my writing class. In class we discussed idiolect . Business plan idiolect In class my tutor explained Idiolect to be  someones's unique way of speaking. she further stated Every one of us has his or her very own idiolect that differs from the way other people talk. We took part in various activities in class where we had to say different word synonyms such as happy and we came up with synonyms like  joyful, elated, content, thrilled, bubbly and ecstatic. we also had to change specific words in sentences of other class mates and compare to see if the initiall meaning is the sae when changed.

This made me compare my writing structure for y business plan project to my typical writing and speaking structure in all my other courses and this lesson was indeed relevant in ...
