Writing Process

The first piece, Thoughts in her head, was the free writing exercise we did about the picture with the "sad woman" and the man in the background. I really didn't have to do much editing to it. It's pretty much exactly how I wrote it in class. I'm not sure exactly what the situation is, I'm pretty sure they're a married couple going through a really tough time... probably headed for divorce... let's hope that doesn't happen.

My second piece, Spinning into snow, was the one where Professor Strong asked us to write about a traumatic experience we had (I think) like a car crash or a fight. I transposed it from first person to third person and changed a bit of it. But that did actually happen. We've all gone off the road at least once. 

I'm not obsessed with car crashes or anything. My third piece, the one where we wrote for the whole class, just happened to be a crash story too. It was inspired by the picture of the crash scene by the river. The couch was the object from my "blueprint." I can't figure out how to take out the space between paragraphs, which is annoying. But I edited it a bit and cleaned it up. But most of my favorite sentences in it actually came from the free writing process, surprisingly enough. The title refers to a line in the Bob Dylan song. If you've never head that song, listen to it.
