Blog Post #9 was was essentially the importance of rewriting and looking at a scene from another view. As a writer, many times I can be bogged down by narrow minded thinking. I may truly feel my work is good because it is smooth and makes a ton of sense to me. However, rewriting it from another point of view and changing the tense also changes the tone. I feel that when tone is change so is the power of my pen. Being challenged in a way of looking at a hard life event differently sparked feelings I never realized I had about the whole situation. I once heard that when I change my view and see others feelings then i can being to grow. At the time of the event I was so young minded and mentally sick that I could not see the cancers around me. This blog helps me to truly see the whole situation for the truth and deal with upcoming events much better. Smart people do not make the same mistakes twice.

Hey, man! First off, GREAT JOB on being on Draft #5 when I was barely able to finish Draft #2! I wish i could find that type of motivation whereas I'm putting forth the effort to write as much as I can whenever I can. I can tell writing is something you truly enjoy doing be it for a class or outside of school assignments? Is it? How has writing impacted the entirety of your life?

Thanks for the humbling comments. If you look at my blog page there is a quote i wrote, "The power of my pen gave me a new life." That is the 100% truth. Writing in my first English class and challenging myself allowed me to get published in the newspaper. That publishing completely opened doors for my speaking company and is literally changing the direction of my life. I highly advise that everyone challenge themselves on their writing and try as hard as they can because you never know what it can do for your life. My motivations is my passion for what I believe in. We all have something we believe in, in my humble opinion.

I appreciate how you and Amir are visiting each other’s blog posts and creating a digital dialogue each week. I also appreciate the frank and insightful conversation you provided here. I am intrigued with your choice to continue working on the counterfactual story and how this writing process has allowed you to travel the many layers of your life narrative. Thanks so much for your dedication to this type of narrative inquiry and to all of your work thus far in this course.
