Multi genre project takes a turn for the....better!

When we began discussing this project, I was very overwhelmed. More with the topic, than with the work. I kept thinking that no matter what topic I picked, I would just end up repeating myself with each genre that I wrote. I originally started with something autobiographical. Then, I switched to Autumn. It is my favorite season and a lot of special memories in my life occurred during this time. However, as I began writing, I noticed it was way too forced. My writing wasn't coming naturally and I was not enjoying it. I dreaded thinking about the project and, even more, writing! Obviously, not the point of the assignment. Then I decided to switch topics and began to write a letter to my brother. That is when I knew the topic of my project had to be my family. They are, without a doubt, the most important thing to me. I am blessed to be a part of an incredibly close family and I have so many great relationships within it. When I started writing about my family, the writing came naturally. I don't normally share my writing with anyone, but shared EVERY piece of this project with my family. They loved it and wanted me to share it with extended family as well. My sister was amazed at my work on my digital story and was eager to share it with all her friends as well. What a great feeling! So, what started out as a constant worry ended up being such a rewarding experience. :)
