This week was focused on preparing and presenting our literary journals and then on Wednesday we did workshop which was extremely helpful. For the workshop, we had to pick a poem or a short short and revise it, make multiple copies and we had a workshop in class that was very insightful and helpful to the revision process.
This week I very much enjoyed not only listening to the many presentations on literary journals but also the workshop process. Overall, this week was very fun and at the same time, I learned a lot. The workshop was fascinating. It was great to see other people’s perspectives when reading your work and not being able to take part in the conversation was very difficult. But I learned so much about how to revise my work, what really stood out to other people, and the parts that needed more work. I also got great insight into how a literary journal works which will help tremendously when we are all working on our class literary journal.
This week I definitely have to comment on the creativity seen when we did the workshops. It was really great to see what other people write about and the reasons behind it. It was also very awesome to see how they use creativity to tell the story they want to tell. Some of the poems I read in workshop were very good and they moved me. Sometimes they made me sad and sometimes they blew me away, and I think that was one of the best parts of the workshop process. We were all so excited and positive and helpful. It really made me wish that I could have a little workshop group every time I write something. It would certainly be helpful.
