    Writing for Days: A Reflection

    by
    This week was very heavily reading and writing focused. I personally am the slowest reader in the world and am not used to creative writing at all. This week was a little more challenging in that regard. I did, however, enjoy the two readings I did. I read The Postman Always Rings Twice and The […]

    Creative thinking

    by
    The start to having to do daily creates is exciting but also very stressful. I love waiting to see what the next day could be but at the same time I do not. I want to know which ones I can skip and which ones I want to do. This week they all were fun, […]

    The Postman Hates The Milkman

    by
    Original assignment here We went a little way, and then she stopped. “Frank, I feel funny inside.” “Here, hold on to me.” “Oh, Frank. Maybe I strained myself, just then. Trying to keep my head up. So I wouldn’t gulp down the salt water.” “Take it easy.” “Wouldn’t that be awful? I’ve heard of women that Read More →

    Sasha Kellogg vs. The World

    by
    Instead of comparing my own life with world events, the “timeline” assignment provided an excellent opportunity to further develop my character Sasha Kellogg.

    Figure me out

    by
    I named my blog The Music of the Night for many reasons. If you are someone who knows Broadway than you know this is a song in Phantom of the Opera. I have grown up around operas, musicals, and plays my whole life. I liked this name because to me I wanted a name for […]
