So apparently I've been imagining keeping up with weekly blog posts and describing sessions and projects. Go me.
Last Monday, the class utilized a few techniques to help critique creative writing pieces. One involved assigning colors to one of the five senses and going through the other's paper going crazy with rainbows; the other involved cutting up your poem or story or what have you and putting it back together to either elicit a different effect or to change up the dialogue and chronology.
Neither particularly helped me revise the story or look at it from a different perspective. Maybe it's just because I'm not that creative or I can't access my "creative gene," but either way, I didn't find either useful...and honestly, I haven't been able to make any kind of substantial change to my creative piece, which is a nonfiction narrative. And that's frustrating. The lack of significant feedback I've had on my pieces, other than the notecards, have inhibited my progress for revision. But I'm trucking. Whatever that means.
