I'm trying to figure this out. In the class called Creative Writing, we really haven't been taught how to write. We've really just been writing. And yet, I've noticed that when I write my daily journals, they are becoming much more relaxed and informal. Whether that is good or not, that's your responsibility to determine. Also, as expected, when I began two weeks ago, I had trouble coming up with 100 words. Now, my problem is just the opposite. It's almost like I'm enjoying it. Is that even possible? Anyway, I will step out of my comfort zone, as I am somehow self-conscious about my writing, and show you my first and most recent journal entries. You are free to compare.

First Entry:

I have been away from my older brothers and sister for a couple of years now. We moved to Monticello from Michigan in my eighth grade year, and my sister stayed there to finish college, which she has now done. My brother is also there working in the Air force. They come to visit on holidays, but it’s been months since their last visit. My other brother graduated from Monticello High School last year. He left a couple of weeks ago to go to Eau Claire for classes at the University of Wisconsin. Hopefully, I will see them all again soon.
