Reflection: Workshop 1

In Reflection of my workshop day in class. I honestly I thought I was going to get yelled at for grammar. Most of which minus the mixed verb tense and other habits from my learning difference, I did on purpose. I think that I will comb through it and set the verb tenses so its not weird and mixed up. From after I switched the person tense. I do not really know where I want to take my story. I still feel like I’m walking through a room in the dark and I keep hitting my toe on a cabinet, it isn’t the right cabinet I want to bump into. I feel constrained in literally fiction and I am not sure how to approach the genre. I would totally take this piece into sci fi dystopian type but I’m not sure if I can do that. I am not sure how to come down from the high tech make up I made. I originally was trying to make the clay a metaphor and have it be normal make up. But I guess my descriptions where too vaguely mystical non realistic in detail, and gave readers a more like sci fi feel. This story is about not being distracted from your path to go after someone who in the end and has come to want the best for someone. I found it interesting that the reviews from my peers where very opposite. Some people liked Genevieve feeling bad for her, and others hated her all the way through. Some people liked the crossing I did with descripting her in the start through her eyes and then through Judith eyes while others didn’t. I found that interesting. My goal with Genevieve as a character was to make you hate her and then not and then become in that grey area of oh she’s human too, even after everything she had done. I think I will keep writing this piece I did feel rushed in some points and I feel like it shows, on various levels of stress I had that day of writing this story.
