Who did I work with to compose my hiraeth project? Was this a good approach?
I worked alone while writing my hiraeth project. I think this was a good approach. It allowed me to have time to think quietly and process everything. Since I am writing about something from so long ago, it took a while to really remember everything I needed. I looked through old photo albums and found that it helped me a lot. I really enjoyed working on this alone. It was definitely a sentimental thing for me. What was the most difficult part of my writing process? Why? What did I do to overcome the obstacles? The most difficult part of my writing process would be figuring out exactly what to write about and actually sitting down and starting to write. Starting to write is always one of the hardest things for me. I don’t know why. I guess I feel like my work is going to be terrible so I procrastinate a little beforehand. To overcome this, I followed my 6 step writing process plan. It worked! The only thing I would do differently is set more time to write. When did I write this project? Good approach? I wrote this project on two separate days. They were days when I had off from both school and work. I wrote in the morning/afternoon when the rest of my family was at work or school. For me, this is a great approach. I need to write at times when I have less weighing on my mind. Where did I write this project? Good approach? I wrote this project in my bedroom at my parents house. It was a great approach because it is very peaceful. I had my candles lit which created a nice ambiance. Writing this project at my parents house was great because I have access to old photos which jog my memory. Also, the homey feeling is nice. Why did I choose to write about my chosen hiraeth? I chose to write about my first childhood home, my grandparents house, because it is what I long for the most. It is the perfect example of a home that I once had, but cannot ever return to. Some of my best memories come from that house. How will I adapt/revise my writing process for future revision of the hiraeth assignment? My original 6 step writing process plan included setting quiet times to write, setting the mood, starting early, getting feedback from others, having something to drink, and tracking my progress. I believe I did all of these things for this project. As I said above, I think I should schedule more times to write. Even if it’s just a half an hour here and there. I think that will help me process things better and help me to be able to write a better paper. I’m planning on making a lot of revisions to my hiraeth assignment. I want to find a way to better communicate the story I’m trying to tell/the point I’m trying to make.

You are a good writer. I like your approach. Here's something you can try when you have writer's block - or anytime actually. I once had a professor tell the class I was in to get out a pen and some paper and write. We asked "write what" and he said, "just write whatever pops up in your mind." It was a great experience. Didn't have to share anything but I was amazed at all the things I could write about. I think I started my writing something like this - "what the heck is he talking about . . . .. " LOL xoxoxo

Thank you!! I love your advice on writing. We've been doing something similar in class called a free write. It's pretty much the same concept! And you're right, it's very interesting. I would love to see some of your papers. I love you xoxoxo
