Our Last English Final of this year

2. Choose one of your posts. (Your favorite? Your least favorite? The one that surprises you the most when you reread it? Any one you want to pick.) Analyze it in detail, with quotes etc. And link to it, of course!
Second semester is almost over which means another whole new batch of blog posts are in my blog. Well maybe not new, if you actually read and keep track of my blog posts, but hopefully you all do (yeah right). So out of all my twenty-six blog posts for this second semester, my favorite one out of them all, is probably my Box story that I'm writing about. It's just a made up story that I wrote about two months ago and still progressing by a little. So far there is only three part of my box story and possibly more in the future if I have more time to write about it. I like to write stories about anything that interested me, and it became a small habit of mine whenever I feel like writing some random story in my blog. It's fun, creative, and easy because its your own story, you can do whatever you want with it that will express whatever you like. Mainly, the story is about a young apprentice following and learning from her skilled master in this horrific world, where their planet is dieing from their own species' greediness. Civil war and pollution are everywhere while their technology is still growing strong with mass destruction, disintegrating their world. The young apprentice, Tora, wants to change the world and save the planet from the plague(humans) that's killing it, doing whatever it takes. Well that's all I could come up with for now in my story and adding much more ideas that will come into my head. I was inspired to write this story by my teacher Mr. Sutherland, when he gave us this one line to write in our quick write "She touched the box in her pocket and smiled." After that, we could do whatever we want with it and expand it to your liking. That one line gave me a handful of ideas to write about it, and it drew more on the agency side to me with infiltrating a place to get an object.

7. What have you learned from your struggles with writer's block? Why do you tend to get stuck? How do you tend to get unstuck? Notice any patterns?
Well first of all with what I learned in writer's block is that it suck a lot once you encounter this kind of problem, and I usually do. I will always be stuck on something and won't have anything else to say once this comes into my mind. It usually take some time for me to actually have something to write about once everything is all settle. I think the reason why I tend to get stuck with writer's block is that the subject I'm writing isn't that interesting to me. Look at it this way, if your writing about something that is boring and not so fun to you, your usually going to end up stuck, just trying to scrape off something to write about. But if your writing about something that is interesting to you and not boring at all, your bound to not get stuck easily in your writing, and instead possibly enjoying it. For example, one of my blog post that I enjoy very much to write about is my box story. I rarely get stuck when I'm writing about my story, because I enjoy every moment of it, thinking of something interesting to put into my story. On some occasion, if I do get stuck on these writer's block, I tend to look up the internet or my peers for ideas and other information that will help me in writing. It proven to be a lot useful when I used this, and won't get stuck for hours trying to figure out what to write about. Number one rule, always look for your peers for inspiration or any sort of ideas that would help you in writing. Well I'm not really sure if there are any patterns in my writer's block other than that if it's boring, I tend to get stuck and if not I don't.

10. Where do you get your ideas for blog post topics? What inspires you to write?
I get my ideas from my blog post topics usually by the extraordinary internet or just my peers in class. If I find something that is interesting and worth to blog about, I usually put that into my blog. There are so many fascinating things to learn in our world and your bound to have something that is interesting for you to write about. Once you have that, then everything is all good and you won't be struggling to find something to blog about in your final minute of doing your homework. My ideas mainly comes from my peers giving me ideas or interesting things that have across me. One example was where my friend, Adam, introduce me a subject that pretty much blown my mind. The subject was steampunk, and I was deeply fascinated by the ideas that it talked about. I remember some movies when I was young involving steam punk and it was pretty much awesome to me with all their gadgets of machinery. On other occasions, when I absolutely have nothing to blog about, I usually talk about my day or life so far in school. In my blogs, I mostly aim at talking about reviews of things like my roller coaster blog or my favorite book one. What inspires me to write in my blog, other than the fact that its your grade, is the new experience that we have never done in English before, using blogging as our educational tool to express ourselves or just write about anything else. As I said before, my peers and the internet gives me the materials to write my blog posts which in terms inspires me to go on. This all helps me in writing and as I write more in my blog, hopefully my writing too will improve in the future.

Well to sum everything up, which this is our last blog post for English but hopefully not when everything is over, is that this year was a blast. English was fun and creative in terms of blogging and a whole new experience for us. So thank you again Mr. Sutherland as I said in my previous blog post, and hopefully maybe next year I might get you again to enjoy another awesome experience.
