In this blog I was able to look back on my narrative project and talk about how writing my project impacted me in different ways with my writing skills. I reflected on the process of my narrative project and different strategies in my writing. What is Fan Fiction -- and why is it making people nervous? (Stephen Downes), and Rewinding and Rewriting: The Alternate Universes in Our Head (Hidden Brain Podcast) helped me in writing this blog post.
Revising this draft helped me a lot with critiquing my product. The more I was able to revise a new draft I was able to see things I missed in the first time draft. It allowed me to look at my writing differently at a closer reading.
When I turned my writing into third person point-of-view I didn't change much else but it did allow me to see the words I used and change them to match the story better.
Writing the story in third person point-of-view allowed me to take a step outside of the story and allow me to picture the story in someone else's eyes. It allowed me to see where the story pulled your attention and where it needed improvement.
Writing the story in present tense brought back the feeling in the exact moment of when the story happened. It also made it hard to write in some ways since I experienced the story I saw I was leaving details out since I was picturing it in my head rather than through words so everyone else can picture it too.
Rewriting changing views showed me that some details I accidentally left out since I was picture the moment I forgot to put details in to allow to reader to picture the moment too.
Revising my story in different ways allowed me to help capture the moment through important details.

Yes, I believe description goes a long way in stories like narratives. I focused on using description for the setting to help the reader picture themselves in my shoes that night. |
