One goal I have continually been working on in not only my writing, but also in my life as a whole, is Maintenance. I have always had trouble staying organized and keeping my things as well as my thoughts in line. Throughout the span of this course I would like to be able to hand things in on time and keep them somewhere where they won't get lost easily. This will involve a lot of effort on my part in keeping both my folder and my notebook neat and organized. In addition to cleaning out my schoolbag and folders every Sunday like I already do, I can increase my organization for this course and my writing by doing so to my Creative Writing folder twice a week.
Another goal I have for my writing this semester is thoughtfulness. I want to increase the thoroughness of my work for school, as well as the creativity of my own personal writings. While writing creatively, I want to be able to implement the many literary techniques I have learned throughout high school, and thus incorporate classic literary elements into my stories and poems. This would include increasing the thoughtfulness of my themes and motifs, symbols and tone. If I play around with new techniques and ideas in my class writing exercises, I will be able to see what I enjoy doing, and what I can have success at. I can then use what I have practiced in my notebook during smaller exercises in bigger works like short stories or screenplays.
I hope that this course and my ensuing hard work will help me advance not only as a writer, but also as a creative thinker and intuitive student.
