Hello!
As I have previously stated, I have always loved creative writing. I began creating as soon as I could pick up a pencil and write, and I hope to continue this passion throughout my life. In following the Common Core Standards, I wrote a short narrative to fit in the standard W.9-10.3 which requires narratives to have well-structured sequences and details, as well as to be strong and effective.
When searching for inspiration to write this narrative, I recalled stories that my parents and grandparents would tell me when I was younger. Their tales of spirits and other folklore always intrigued me, especially considering that my (partially) Native American heritage values these stories to teach and remember.
When writing this narrative, I created characters and tied in dialogue to keep the reader interested, rather than my initial incentive to just create the spirit tale itself. I also began to weave in sensory details to surround the reader and bring the story to life. I feel that I have grown a lot in the aspect of smoothly connecting sequences of events, especially since I used to write choppy narratives when I wasn't sure what the story line would entail. I definitely re-worked the dialogue many times to make it seem believable since this was an area I was not proficient in previously.
Thank you for reading this post and I hope you enjoy the rest of my blog!
