Blog #3 6-Word Memoirs I Like!

"Acceptance is peaceful. Hope is playful." This provokes emotion  because I always have a strong feeling of hope for most situations. Hope is something you can rely on in a situation where the outcome is unclear. Accepting something will take courage yet give you peace of mind in the end when you know a final solution or answer.

"Everything and nothing-Snowday's promise." I thought this memoir was funny because of the oxymoron. It makes you think for a second and every kid understands what it is saying. It means everything to not have a day of school yet most kids end up doing nothing on a snow day in the end.

"Pain to purpose. Found new self." This memoir says so much in only six words. I like it because of the message it gives out while not even using full sentences. One can re-invent themself with the right mind set by becoming bigger than the struggles that has captured them.

"Left with memories I can't erase." This memoir is interesting because it provokes thought. You wonder, what memories does this person wish could be erased? What happened in the past that they wish didn't? By asking this, it makes you realize the memories you hold close to you and the ones you wish you could let go of.

"Serenity to heart. Changed what could." This 6-word memoir spoke to me and made me think of my favorite quote: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." This  memoir says alot about the person who wrote it and it can say alot about all of us as well. We need to realize what we can and cannot change, and learn to accept it to have peace at heart.

Blog #2- Goals for this semester!

This semester I intend on expressing myself thoroughly within my writing. Making my voice come to life is one of the writing aspects I plan to work on. I want to explore new topics as well as dive deeper into my thoughts and go beyond what I have so far. Also, one of my goals is to write a little more each day. A way I can monitor my progress would be to time a writing session and try to write longer the next day. By writing more each day, my ideas will flow more and I can develop topics I want to pursue. Just like a sport, writing takes practice. By writing a little more each day I can practice my skills and hopefully evolve into a better writer. I would like to start writing more poems because the free style lets a writer develop their own original piece. There are no limitations with poems which make them  very individualistic. A goal for me this semester is to write more poems during my sessions each day. To make these goals more probable I will push myself and work hard to develop my voice in the writing world.

First Blog Ever!

Hi reader! I'm Caroline. Welcome to my blog! I hope you will find my posts fun and enjoyable to read. My favorite style of writing is stories or memoirs. Hopefully throughout my creative writing class I will find new styles that I enjoy as well. Writing is a great way to express yourself and there are pretty much no limitations. Writing can open new doors of your imagination that you did not even know existed! Writing for me is a tool that I know I will always have. As well as writing, I enjoy playing the piano and other instruments. Music is incorporated with writing because lyrics are poems. I enjoy writing poems and lyrics and I hope to get better as I progress in this creative writing class. I will most likely incorporate my love for music in my future blogs. Reader, I hope you can watch my writing excel as my blog grows more vast.
