Jihyung on writing gains. His title itself is a gain. Annotated link http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fkispln.kiswrites.org%2F2008%2F06%2F09%2Fblack-and-white-to-color
I’ve grown and learned alot as a writer in this class. Or, I should say that I forced myself to change. I’ve been told a lot by Mr. Burell that my writing has no voice in it. He said it was only schooly and that I don’t add my voice in it. He is true, my writing style is schooly, and this was how i was taught. I think that my writings are like a black and white TV show. It’s like a show or writing piece without color. Now I’ve learned more about using similies, metaphor, and other adjectives and adverbs that make my writing better. Because, I’ve been only using words and vocabularies that expressed my thoughts too directly.
Now, that I have some ideas about writing with voice and color, I had to learn to find an idea or topic to write about. It took me a really long time to just think about a topic and write about it. This led me to write really random posts about anything I thought was good fora blog. But, it was like searching for soap that fell in a bathtub. I had hard time trying to come up with an idea that would actually be good for my blog. Even when I get idea, as I write the idea would just slip away like a soap.
I don’t think that I’ve grown a lot as a producer, because all the blogs I wrote I only posted them up on our class blog. I didn’t do anything special. Only thing that was different from what I normally do was the interview I did about restaurant design.
