Blog #3: Six-Word Memoirs That I Like

1) Don't underestimate short girls, we bite.
           I really like this one because I too am short and feel as though sometimes people underestimate me because of that. I feel like this happens to a lot of people who are not very tall and it's not fair. I think that everyone deserves a chance and to not be underestimated at all, especially based on their height. This six-word memoir made me feel frustrated and almost angry because for a long time now, people have had to make some sort of comment about my height. I understand that most of the time most of those who make comments are just joking, but it gets annoying after a while.

2) Jesus makes me new and improved.
           This is one of my favorites! I like it a lot because I am a Christian and it helps me to know that I can rely on Him for anything. I know that even when I mess up or make a big mistake, I can ask for His forgiveness and it will be give. I know that I can't do it all perfectly, but with His help, I can be new and improved.

3) Best intentions, mixed results, still trying.
          I like this one because I do try my best and sometimes it just doesn't work. Just because it doesn't always work though, does not mean that I will ever stop trying. I think that this six-word memoir sends a positive message because I feel like it gives encouragement  to continue trying even it it does not work out like you expected the first time.

4) I just fired my inner critic.
         I like this one a lot because I think that it's something that we all need to do. Many times we hold ourselves back and if we were not constantly criticizing ourselves, we could show everyone who we really truly are. There are many times where I wish I wasn't so hard on myself about a lot of things. If I too could fire my inner critic, I think that it would make me a much happier person.

5) Would appreciate a day of boredom.
         This one really speaks to me because I feel like my family is always running to get to some place on time or that we have 10,000 things to do in one day. Most of the time I enjoy it, but there are other times where I just want to go home and take a long nap on the couch. I don't know what I would do if I wasn't always busy, but sometimes we all need a day to ourselves where we can be bored and be able to relax.

There are many things that I plan to improve on during this semester. For example, I hope to make the length of each of my entries longer. If I am able to do this, that means that I taking more care in my work by not exactly caring about what I write, I care less about what others are going to think, and that I am less concerned about writing a perfect first draft. After all, there is always something good in a piece of writing. I would also like to try new things, like strategies of types of writing and not be afraid to go out of my comfort zone. I would also like to become more confident in my writing and care less about what people are going to think about it. I think that if I continue to write and get more practice, I can get improve on both of these things. I think that the most important things in this course for me are going to be hard work and making sure that I stay focused.

Hello and welcome to my first creative writing blog! I was told to take this class from my sister for my senior elective. She told me that it was a fun class and that she really enjoyed it, and so hard it has been quite enjoyable. I have never really enjoyed writing in the past, but I like the kind of writing that we have done in the class so far because I have a lot of freedom to just write about what ever comes into my mind. I think that my biggest problem with  writing is that I am always concerned about making mistakes and about people judging my writing.

Outside of writing, I am a much different person. I am far less concerned about what others think. I am very outgoing and I will talk to almost everyone, but I won't reveal all information about me until I really get to know you. This spring I will be be graduating form Penfield and I am very excited to move on to other things. My experience here has been pretty good for the most part, but I am ready to move on.

i hope that throughout this course I will become more confident in my writing. I hope that by the end of this course I will be able to write and not hold back and not be afraid of writing a really bad first draft.

I appologize if this first one was boring or poorly written. I hope to get better at these and make it more enjoyable to read.
