ENC 1101-B3 & B4: Writing for Discovery

My grandmother just passed last week and I feel as if I have lost a part of me. Most kids aren’t close to their grandparents but my situation was completely different. I loved her so much and it’s been so hard for me that past couple of days.

Music is my life. I have to admit it. If there was no such thing as music, I don’t know how I would cope with certain things in my life.
When I workout, the music that I listen to, gives me motivation to train harder and longer. If it weren’t for my CD player, I don’t think that I would have finished some of my runs or some of my exercises.

Its incredible the way our minds tend to think and produce weird things like dreams. Ive always had the most awkward dreams but nothing like last night.

It started off with me standing alone watching these two people. We were on a pier, overlooking murky green water. I saw a grandmother and her grandaughter standing in the middle, towards the end. All of a sudden, her granddaughter fell off of the pier and into the ocean. I ran over to see if she was okay and when I looked down, the ocean had turn into flames. It looked like a bottomless pit with fire and smoke everywhere. It almost resembled hell.

The sun beamed through the French doors. Rays of heat pierced my skin through the satin sheets. After hitting the snooze button for the fourth time, I lay in bed to let my mind wander.

My eyes gleamed down the beach. Not a cloud in the sky. I sat watching the pelicans flow through the air. It was always so soothing.

It’s so soothing to go back home. For me, it’s a great time to catch up with my thoughts and get back in touch with myself.

I sat there on the beach at two o’clock in the morning. I thought about many different things. Mostly about what’s stressing me, and all of the little things that I worry about. I sighed at the scenery. The tide, so calm and collected. How bright the moon shone over the water as the clouds slowly drifted in the most mysterious ways. It was almost as if there was something in the air that night.

So this was it, the final draft. I think I only liked the first half of it. Like most of my work, the end seemed to quick. I have a tendency to do that.

But before i begin on the ending, there were some parts that needed expansion.

Life in college can be very overwhelming. THere are many times where i just want to pack up and drive myself home for the weekend. Every now and then, its great to get away from all of the mayhem and not to mention endless work.

OKay i know that this is a typical question but...i need some explanation and input.

It about a guy...: ) So here we go,

I met him when i first moved here to Tallahassee. We went wine tasting for our first date. My friend jessica had introduced us at a club one night and ever since then, we have been hanging out every now and then...untill two weeks ago.

The morning felt sticky and hot. It was mid June and the summer day couldn’t have been any more warmer. My parents had left town for business purposes. I couldn’t wait until the evening where I would be sitting under the moonlight at the nicest restaurant in town with my boyfriend.

I enjoyed writing this story so much! I think it took me only 45 minutes to write also...since the story came completely off the top of my head, I was happy with only a few parts of it.

I think that it needs a lot more work though. There are some parts in there that arent really significant to the plot but definitely add detail. I personally dont like where i explain her job and how she woke up that morning. I could use some suggestions on what else i could put there that would be more correspondent to the rest of the story.

She always had that gleam in her eye and that sad look on her face. It always seemed so normal that she only spoke when spoken to. Who would have known that she endured so much pain; so much confusion.

I recently began working at a bar near campus. Bartending there is awesome! So far I have met many different people and have learned so much in such a small amount of time.
Even though I love my job, I realized many things wrong with our community.

My parents came to visit me this weekend....and i thought about a few things....there is only so much advice a parent can give. I came to realize that lately, i have been a bit stressed. Since i knew my parents were coming up this weekend, i thought it would be a great opportunity to talk to my mother and get some wise insight.

It' amazing how our economic stature transitions itself in various ways. Our means of communication and learning has increasingly become more and more effortless through all of the many different tunnels of the World Wide Web.
