When this assignment was first brought up, I thought it would be easy. Tell about your experiences with reading and writing, right? But when I got my paper back last week with the words "too broad", I am feeling overwhelmed to produce a literary masterpiece. And being sick all week hasn't helped with trying to sit down think of childhood memories while being doped up on Nyquil. I don't have a problem brainstorming ideas or coming up with material to write about. I guess the problem lies with what experiences are deemed important for this assignment? My next steps will be going back to the samples we read and reading what you guys are posting. I hope that helps.
