5-5:10pm: Introductions, current work and ideas…
5:10-5:35pm: Irby…. What’s your direction? What outside source did you find? Anybody go on YouTube and see one of her interviews?
5:35-5:50: Your writings about YOU… your stories. They are yours, and you should look further into them, for a number of reasons. When someone asks for a story from your life, where’s the first place you go? What’s the first moment you think of?
5:50-6pm: Close…. What’s on your page for the night?
For me: KEEP THE WRITING PERSONAL. STOP THINKING SO MUCH.
ASSIGNMENT: Irby essay.
That’s it. I want all your focus to be on this paper. My hope is that you will make it yours. While still keeping it professional, you will ensure it’s personal and that you own your writing and the ideas you convey. The more you focus on structure and that it’s an assignment, the more harm you’re doing to your paragraphs. Write from your ides, your opinion… the support you provide is in the strength of your written voice, demonstrating that not only you read her work, but have a formed and framed position on it.
ENJOY YOUR WRITING.

When people ask me about my story I go straight into my family and about myself. I’m the youngest of three, I’m a twin, I grew up comfortable and in a very loving and happy family. I’m a perfectionist that controlls my life in every aspect. I’m just a teenager that has no idea what path she’s going to take in life.

For a story I go straight to my family vacations that have built my memories of my childhood. How lucky we got to go to the same place multiple of times with the prettiest of views and with no worries in the world except for if we wanted to go to the beach or go to the pool

For tonight page: everything that happened to you helped you get where you are now and explains why the way you are. Reading about Irby’s childhood for instance, shows so much about her personality now, the way she faces life. Her identity.

if there were to be a certain story that comes to mind for me. It has to be the time I almost got my eye taken out. this happened back when i was 4 or 5, and the basic story was as followed. Me and my twin brother at the time, were playing with two mini American flag poles the next thing I noticed my brother accidentally swiped too close to me and took a piece of flesh from the bottom of my left eyebrow. I had to go to the hospital and have surgery to see if it damaged my eye. I can say that i was very lucky to have no damage to my eye and that all I suffered was a lifetime vertical scar on the end of my left eyebrow. I can’t say that this really progressed me as a person just that this is a story I have told so many people and one that has been often brung up year after year with me and my family.

For the Irby writing….. DO NOT OVERTHINK. And, LOVE what you’re writing about. If you’re not enjoying you’re writing, you can’t blame anyone but yourself. So… spend the time in the chair, write in your journals… play with ideas. Misery is optional, and it’s option I’d avoid the f/ck out of if I were you.

For tonight’s page I made it a priority to add at least three ideas I would actually want to use and I think I achieved that goal with six. I also really want to slow down the pace of my writing because I feel like I go to fast on some topics and I notice it in other places I write.
