Hafa Adai!

This creative writing workshop has undeniably been my highlight of this past semester.  In no other class was I given the free reign to truly make the class my own. That is exactly why I enjoyed the workshop so much. I have an imagination that I refuse to keep in check, and the creative writing workshop was all about imagination. What situations could we envision? What people could we create? What statements did we have? I enjoyed the challenge imposed on me. But beyond even that, I have always had an admiration for great writers. With ink on paper, people like Twain, or Steinbeck, or Morrison could get readers to form pictures in their mind. And also, they could be entertaining or moving or funny. Best of all, their work could be enjoyed by almost everyone who picked them up.  I was excited to be part of a class that could help get me to where I want to be. I'm not trying to say I'm the next Ernest Hemingway or anything like that, but at the very least, with this class I'm working on getting somewhere, anywhere.
