Meditations III: Sappho's Daughter

In Adventures of a Maverick Author I liked “Meditations III: Sappho's Daughter” because I have many friend that went through the same problems. I liked that the author was aware that being lesbian was not the reason that she had an alcohol problem, but that fear was. I believe that it takes a lot of courage to admit our wrong doings and I liked that the author had courage to admit hers. What also caught my attention was that the author makes the reader becomes aware that we sometimes tend to blame others for our mistakes and have a hard time accepting them. I believe that is the case for everyone including myself because we never want to blame ourselves or admit that we are wrong. I addition, any one that reads this can learn from what the author wrote.

Meditations V: April 1st

In Adventures of a Maverick Author I liked “Meditation V: April 1st”, because I liked the fact that the author talks about the canvass and how she is made up of a rainbow. I think we are all made up different colors and that is what makes who we are. In addition, I like that the author talked about how alcohol was her “universal solution to everything,” and later in her blog she writes how A.A. helped her overcome her addiction. Also, she gave us advice on how we should learn from our feelings because they make us who we are, how we see things, and what is important to us. I really liked what she had to say about her situation because I can learn from it.

My choice writing exercise

There where many things that changed as I grew and sometimes I wish I could go back and experience them once more. Sometimes I wish that moments could last forever even though that is impossible. I miss having Christmas dinner at my aunt's house and playing with my cousins now we are all grown up and hardly talk to one another. We also stopped having Christmas at my aunts house now I do not really see her. I also miss my dog Missy she was the best dog I ever had. I remember when my parents would let us sleep in the back yard and Missy would always sleep at the door of our tent to protect us. Now she is gone and I will never see her again all I have are those memories of her and I will never have another pet like her. I miss my high school Avid friends because I never see them they are off doing there own thing at different colleges. I remember when we were in class we always laughed at Mr. Mora because he would get so mad that at one point it would be funny. That made him even more mad. I remember our last day of school we all went to the beach and stayed there all day. I remember this boy named Jose Martini and how he agreed to let us bury him in the sand because no one wanted to do it. I wish I could go back to that day it was the funnest I have ever had. What I really miss is last year even though my roommate is still here I still miss everyone else because no one came back to this school. I miss having those long nights when we would dance and video tape one another and watch them later to laugh at them. I also miss getting ready for the club and how we all would fight for the mirrors even though there were four. I miss going ice skating for Christmas. I miss going to the beach to hang out and having dinner together. That was always a good time. Now all these events and situations in my life are gone, but I will never forget how much they meant to me.

The ups and downs of writing

In some cases writing can be pleasant and for others it can be frightening. To me writing is both frightening and pleasant. Some of the reasons that writing can be pleasant are when I am familiar with the writing topic that I am assigned. For instance, some of my professors might assign a topic such as write about a memorial event in your life. Since the topic is about something I can recall I am able to write about the subject without getting off topic. I also enjoy writing poetry, letters, and my thoughts. Whenever I am feeling upset or sad I write my feelings on paper, which always helps me. Writing is enjoyable when it is something I like talking about, otherwise it is difficult. On the other hand, writing can be frightening because sometimes I do not understand the writing assignment. This usually leads to me not making sense. In addition, I am afraid of making mistakes in grammar, not being clear, or going off topic. Issues like these always run through my mind as I write. Overall, writing can be frightening, but for the most part I enjoy it.
