  • Weekly Writing Reflection

    This week I’ve written a few thousand words, and that’s actually good progress compared to the rest of the year. I’m working on a short story at the moment and am try to try the ‘story in a month’ kind… Continue reading

  • Writing Prompt: Cleaning

    I do and don’t like cleaning. It’s one of those things that I don’t want to do when it’s someone else’s mess or if someone tells me to, but I sometimes will like cleaning the houses of my siblings when… Continue reading

  • KWB310

    This unit was the hardest for me of the four and made the semester twice as difficult as the previous two. I tend to do a lot better when it comes to the creative part of writing than with the… Continue reading
