Introducing: What a Trip

For my first piece, I chose my second MWA for the descriptive narrative, “The Descriptive Paragraph,” which was turned in May 5, 2009. This writing assignment was the most challenging for me. I learned how to put together supporting details in a narrative paragraph, as well as how to arrange them in chronological order. I had difficulty elaborating on subjects, and I needed to give more detail regarding who, what, when, where, why, and how. I really had to rethink the descriptive wording. One thing that helps me write is to put myself in the mind of a reader. I worked hard on condensing it more and getting to the good stuff. I enjoyed the challenge of descriptive wording. I really had to think about picking this one because there are a lot of changes still to be made for the final draft and I honestly was not sure I was up for it. This piece has helped me learn how to condense long drawn out parts and focus more on the exciting area to grab the attention of the reader.
