My past experiences with narrative projects have been pretty positive. I have done several in high school and some college papers all of which have drawn from my life experiences. I am unsure how to fully describe my emotional identity because it feels like a fluid thing for me. I have several different phases in my life and many of my stories correlate with these different times. There have been times in my life where I have been happy, and I look fondly upon these stories and have happy memories of them. There are times where I’ve been depressed and that was a struggle for me and then I’ve had to deal with these memories for myself. These stories are less likely to appear because it was a time in my life where I was not happy with myself. After this, many of my life has been somewhat of a roller coaster which has made me not sure about how I feel about sharing these stories to these public.
Several times in the class we've had assignments that deal with narrative ideas. A letter to my author self was the first post which I wrote a letter talking directly to my author self, being able to communicate with my author self was the first step. The next blog post we had dealt with creating a situation where we could talk to authors we've never met and have them express ideas from their writings onto us in a more normative setting, this was call The Writer's Roundtable. Our next assignment had us make a short form of a memoir, which we called Composing an Emotional Scene with Dialogue and Symbolism.
