Creative writing- Childhood memory
The usual routine. I bowl in to see the scornful look of the Old Witch. She glares at me from behind her spectacles. Never greeted with a warm welcome, reproached for being a female and I certainly don’t fit her stereotype of what a woman should be. Aggressive with a passion for anything that does not conform to the typical 1950’s housewife, which is against most women’s views. But no one would suspect an old lady to be so malicious inside with such a sweet loving smile, the masquerade she puts on could fool anyone into believing she has a kind soul.

My Experience Of Writing

It has always been something that I have had to work hard at and never have I found pieces that I have written to be extraordinary.

Reflection On My Writing

From the beginning till the end of the semester, I have changed my perspective on writing. My greatest weakness in writing was not having a clear topic to write about and this would then leave me writing “fluff” and painfully trying to reach the minimum amount of pages required by the instructors. By having a clear topic, I am able to get my point across in a clear and concise manner. I had to dig deeper into what I really wanted to write about.
