Creative Writing and Writing Creatively
This week has really been one that’s been busy and full of creative ideas! To start off I’d like to share the writing assignments I decided to do. We were told to do twelve stars worth of assignments this week, which I divided evenly by doing four assignment worth three stars each. First I wrote a video game review for one of my favorite video games of all time, then I created an alphabet poem about something that inspires and makes me happy: birds. Afterwards I created a parody of a famous poem, before wrapping up the week by sharing some songs that really make me happy. You can also see my thoughts on digital storytelling and the analysis I applied to a particular story. Please check out any of the assignment below and comment on anything you like or dislike!

Thoughts On This Week
This week has honestly been really fun. All the writing prompts in the Assignment Bank are interesting and it was hard to decided what to do at times. I’m rather pleased with how they turned out and tried to channel as much Bob Ross inspired happiness into all of them! Though, the assignment I think I liked the most was the video game review. It let me gush about something I really love with intent and purpose. 10/10 on that assignment! However, I also have to give credit to Dr. Whalen in my Creative Coding class for all the poetry assignments! We just started our computer-based poetry unit and I was feeling inspired from that! I’m really looking forward to everything this class has to offer and can’t wait to hear feedback from more people on my posts!
