So this is a really cool picture that I found online-I love Disney Princesses! My favorite is Ariel, I love The Little Mermaid! Anyways, I just finished my Poetry Portfolio for Creative Writing, and I love how it turned out. I hope I get a good grade on it because I was up really late working on it! When it comes to projects, I am a perfectionist, and now matter how early I start on it, I always end up working on it up to the very last possible minute. Yesterday, I started working on it right after schoool, and I was still up really late. I'm happy with how it turned though; I suprised myself by how easy it was for me to write a bunch of poems when I am in a "creative mood". Once I get going and keep writing, it's easier for me to come up with them, which is a really good thing. The only bad thing is is that I sometimes have trouble coming up with them on the spot, I have to think about what I want to write about for a while, and then once I get going, I'm fine. This project made me realize how much I really love poetry, and how much I love writing it. I hope that we have other projects like this, projects that require you to think hard and be really creative!!!!

Someone Else's Thoughts

While I was browsing blogger.com, I came across a blog called Ramblings of a Dreamer, and I decided to check it out. I was drawn to this blog because of its title. "Ramblings of a Dreamer" just sounds like something that a creative writer would name their blog. The first thing that I read was a poem called "I sometimes wonder ..." which is a poem all about what this person thinks about. As I scrolled through the blog, There are a bunch of mini entries about who 'you are'. This is very interesting because the author goes through and talks about many different personality types, but when I read through them all, I realized that I related to more than one of them. I thought this was interesting. This author sounds very genuine, and I can relate to her very easily; I'm sure others can too by what she writes about.
She then goes on to a list titled "Have You Ever?". This list is very interesting because it sounds to me like it is a list of things people seem to want to do or accomplish in life before they die. It is a very interesting list, and it goes from sleeping under the stars to visit the White House. It is a very creative list and sound like things people actually want to do.
All in all, I chose this blog to write about because it is very interesting, creative, and most improtantly, not boring. I can also relate to the author because she seems very genuine and creative; her blog keeps you wondering what she will write about next.
