blog 74

Dear Future Students,

I don’t know if any of you will be reading this because I was never showed any letters from past students but I will write this to you anyways. The theme of the course was science fiction, now I’m not a big sci-fi guy so when I first found this out I was a little unsure of whether or not I would like the course. I have learned that sci-fi isn’t what I imagined it to be and if you keep an open mind it won’t be that hard for you either. I have become a much better writer as a result of this course but it has come at a price. Although nothing in this course is especially difficult it is extremely labor intensive. We have to do one hundred comments on each other’s blogs and we are required to write a blog every single night, including the weekends. This is a huge pain in the ass. Because of these blog posts (including this one) I have had to go out of my way and take time from studying and other things to complete these assignments. Although it is hard to keep up with these blogs I think that they have definitely improved my quality of writing. You know how they say practice makes perfect? Well they’re correct! The more you write the better you get at it so keep up with these blogs. They’re a pain in the ass but they will improve your writing. I’m not sure what else to say so I’ll leave you with this, this class isn’t very difficult but its easy to fall behind so don’t, the best thing you can do is just keep up wit your work and do assignment on time.

Good Luck,

Harris

  1. Good job with including the blogs in here, they really are a big part of the class. Every single night, crazy, but definitely helped my writing!

  2. I'm glad beyond belief to be done with the blogs for the rest of 2010. I'm kind of glad I stuck with them as well as I did throughout the quarter.

  3. Yeah I think I've become a better writer too, but it definitely takes work!
