Unexpected
Well gang, I didn't expect that I would go through so many different kinds of emotions while working on the personal narrative. At times I was laughing, crying, anxious, and shocked when I made a personal connection to an event in my life now. Very unexpected. I guess I had not ever taken the time to write in this way before. I felt like I was being constantly groomed to write a research paper using perfect form and citations. The cutting apart...that brought on a whole new slew of emotions. Very interesting morning.

I never would have guessed that there would be do many emotions involved. Honestly, it never occurred to me that it would happen with this particular group.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to always writing a certain type of paper, I struggled with the same problem. My first two drafts could be described as clinical and cold with citations from Palmer. I knew if felt wrong but like Ethel said and you said, we have certain rules programmed into us. I had a hard time adjusting my voice to genre. I think I am getting a handle on it.
