3rd Workshop Blog

During Thursday's workshopping session, we spent a lot of time on mine and Cheryl's essays.  Many people, including me, agreed that she had made wonderful use of the 2nd person to bring readers right into her descriptions.  She also chose a wide variety of alone-time activities to write about, which allowed many people to relate with her essay.  My essay was met with a positive response as well, which greatly encouraged me.  I was afraid that the experimental form and video-game-specific terms would make it difficult for people to read, but everyone seemed to understand and enjoy it.  We also spent a little bit of time discussing ideas for our third essays.  I liked that we all met in one large group this time.  It made things a lot more fun, and allowed me to get to know better some classmates that I've rarely had the opportunity to work with.
