Personal Narrative Progress

Well my Personal Narrative has been going great...ish. I suppose that I really am at square one, ground zero, so there is nowhere to go from there but up! After my two pages of prewriting I decided that there was a different experience I wanted to write about, one just as humorous as the first, but that wouldn't have me going on rants about furry-four legged creatures with large teach and painful bites. After class today though I feel as if I have a clearer direction of where I would like to take my paper, of the overall moral/theme, and I'm fairly sure I have my opening organized just how I want it, well that is until i print off the rough draft and decide I want to change the entire thing, but we can worry about that when we get there! Also the Personal Narratives that we read and wrote responses on have helped me to decide in what type of style I want to write in. at this point I am fairly well decided on the first person, jump right into the story and only give background information when you need it type of writing. although this also may change when I realize that my narrative is a page and a half short and i have to go back and add in filler information (don't pretend like you don't ever do it too!). So as far as progress goes I'm at about thirty percent done with my rough draft, meaning I have an idea that is eventually going to make it on paper, but you know sometimes the idea is the hardest part, so I call it progress.

  1. Thanks for your response, it made me laugh and made me feel a little more optimistic about my paper also. I’m actually still laughing right now haha I thought the comment about fillers was way funny haha I laugh every time I think about it. I think I am losing my mind haha but anyways well said. That’s good that you have an idea. It is always a huge struggle to come up with an idea, and sometimes even when I think I have an idea after I write it I decide that I would rather write about something else, so I start all over. I like doing these blog things, because I am using absolutely no sentence structure or anything, so I hope that it doesn’t give you or Mackenzie a head ache when you read what I have to say. Anyways, good luck with your paper I’m sure it will be great!
