This class was pretty enjoyable! My favorite part was probably the blog posting and getting to write in a casual and personal voice since that doesn’t happen often. Most of the blogs only took like ten to twenty minutes so that was nice too I guess… As a writer I felt again that the blogs helped me realize my voice and gave it an outlet so that it didn’t leak into my scholarly writing as much as I think it used to. Getting a hold of my voice is something that I sort of struggled with when branching out into more types of writing like the research and memoir but I think that it was handled. I was definitely familiar with the literary analysis side of things and knew how to write appropriately for it but I actually feel my analysis was perhaps better in my senior AP Lit class then now. That’s probably because we were being drilled literally every day on exactly what to do in a literary analysis essay but I digress. I think my vocabulary has improved since my last writing class, not in a drastic way but in more of a ‘not-being-inclined-to-look-up-synonyms-every-thirty-seconds’ kind of way. Being in a collegiate setting does have its benefits! With respect to Squeeze the Sponge, it helped me realize a couple of small but surprisingly frequent mistakes which I made in my writing. It undeniably improved my writing even if it only makes me reconsider a comma placement for one second longer than I would’ve normally given it thought. When I look at my style and writing process these appear to have been the most stagnant, for better or for worse, through this class.
