In Class Response-Creativity

I am not afraid of writing and being creative. You can work through your fear to achieve self-efficacy by brainstroming, and just not letting your mind stop working when thinking about writing. The best way to do this is to get a piece of paper and just let your mind flow and write down whatever comes to mind. When you are ready to construct your writing piece, you can put all these ideas together to form a cohesive paper. I definitely embrace my creative urge. In a literacy narrative, there are many ways you can be creative and it all depends on who you are and how you like to write. Me, for example, I like to tell an exciting story to keep the reader's attention. I like to use to dialogue to make my story more interesting and really put the reader in the story. Using vivid details is also very important in a literacy narrative writing. The more details you use, the easier it is for the reader to create picture in their mind of what they are reading. When doing this though, you must remember to stay on topic and not to talk about things irrelevant to your topic. For example, if you were writing about an evil English teacher that gave you a bad English grade and made you despise writing, you would not want to go into vivid detail about what you wore to school that day and what you had for breakfast that morning. Since I am not afraid of writing and being creative, I have to constantly reread my writings to make sure I do not do this. Since I like to let my ideas flow, it is easy for me to get off topic or talk about things irrelevant to my topic because I like to write whatever comes to mind. Creating images in the reader's head will keep them wanting to read and help them understand what is going on in the story. It also reassures them that they know what you are trying to say and lets them know that they understand your story. When you write a literacy narrative, your creativity should never stop. With all the ways you can be creative, even if you ARE afraid of writing and being creative, if you spend more time on your writing you can be sure to get your point across in a not-so-boring way.
