Introduction
This week I had to listen a video about Reflective Writing. This video exactly explains that a reflective writing has to have more reflection and less descriptions. In this blog post, I will explain how I wrote my life-choice memoir and how I will revise it. Who did you work with to compose your life-choice memoir? Was this a good approach? I didn’t work with anyone to compose my life-choice memoir because no one except me could describe the emotions I experienced in those moments, although my husband was part of this decision, our feelings and experiences were different. I tried to project the scene once again in my mind to remember all the details about the feelings that I experienced at that time. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? In my life-choice memoir I have used the Narrative rhetorical mode and the Creative nonfiction genre. When did you write this project? Good approach? I started to write this paper on February 13th during the class and I used the method of Free Writing. I kept working on it on February 20th, 24th, 25th and I finished it on February 26th. The Free Writing method was a good approach because it helped me to write down every thought without stopping and without judging its quality. I used this method three times, and after that I had enough information about the event. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote this project in my class at Delaware County Community College and in my house late at night. I think it was efficient because I was concentrating on it without being bothered by others. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I have chosen to write about this topic of leaving my homeland and my family because this is the biggest decision I have taken so far in my life and it has completely changed it. I believe this is a good choice because writing about this issue can help other people who may be in the same situation with me and can find themselves in this story. How did it feel to write this narrative ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? While I was writing this narrative, I had to struggle with the weight of the emotions that appeared with the same force as at that moment when it happened and on the other hand, I had to describe every word and every feeling to pass it onto the reader with the same emotion I had experienced in those moments. I had difficulty to describe the fullness of feelings through words. After I finished the first draft I want to revise it and make it better. How will you revise your narrative? To revise my narrative, I will give to my cousin to read it, and I will accept her advice to correct and improve it.
