Creative Writing Final


Creative Writing Final

 

1.       Several writings I have done this quarter include my blog post If…, 12 People I Would Give Presents To, Favorite Food Memory, Inspiring Images, Nothing Is Perfect, and They Say I’m Caught Up In A Dream.

2.       A couple pieces I’ve read include a lot from Danielle’s blog. I liked her post If I had Two Boys What Would I Call Them?  I liked this post because I also imagine what it would be like when I had kids in the future and what I’m going to name then. I always find it fun to imagine what I want my life to be like. I’ve also read It Happens, and I wish It Didn’t, but That’s Life, Isn’t It?  I like this post because Danielle had a really good imagination and when I read her stories I feel like I am actually in the story and I’m the main character.

3.       When I was setting up my blog I had no idea what I was doing. I had heard of people posting on blogs, but I never thought it would be for me.  After creating my blog and posting a few pieces I learned how much fun it can be. Having a blog really helped me put my work out there because normally it would just sit in a notebook.  I couldn’t think of a creative name so I just named it Morgan’s Blog.  I think my classmates will read and I hope I will continue posting on it after this class is finished.

4.       Everything is in my journal, from class work, doodles, and just random thoughts I have had during class. I would want my friends and my mother to read it. After this class I will continue to write in my journal, but I think I am going to have to get another notebook because mine is basically full.

5.         I knew it was wrong to hate someone so much you wish they would get in some horrible accident ending their life. It’s not my fault Austin took my heart right out of my chest and stomped on it until it was broken.  Most people think I’m crazy and that I should just get over it, but how do you get over your once fiancĂ© that turned out to be nothing better than a cheater.  The answer is you don’t. I never would of known he was being unfaithful; it was two weeks before our big wedding day and I was glowing with happiness at the thought of being Mrs. Aimes.  On a Tuesday afternoon I had told Austin that I was going to get my final fitting for my dress, he even begged me for details about my dress, little did I know it was all an act and he was just waiting for me to leave to invite his mistress over.  Driving home with joy that my beautiful lace mermaid gown fit like a glove made me want my wedding day to get here already. As I pulled up to the driveway I noticed a strange green car. I walked up the porch steps and heard a muffled sound come from inside; curious I charged in to find the noise. As soon as I walked in my heart sank and I felt like my lunch was coming back up. On the couch was my fiancĂ© with another woman. Naturally I screamed at the both of them and called off the wedding and since it happened I’ve been sitting in my house with all the lights off wondering if I will ever have light in my life again. Since then I’ve been plotting different ways I could get back at Austin. Each day my hate grew stronger and stronger. I began to get angry with myself because I actually fell for his act and I didn’t see it coming. I should have known better; nothing can be perfect. Sitting in this house has given be plenty of time to decide what I was going to do to him; all I had to do was find some way to get him alone. I wanted him to suffer the heart ache that he caused me; he was such an indecent human being he didn’t even apologize for his actions, he was “Sorry he got caught”.  My plan was perfect. Everybody would know it was me, but I had to do it. I had to let him feel my pain. I watched him for days learning his new routine. I knew when he left for work, how long it took him to get there, which floor of the parking garage he used, and his new work schedule. All I had to do was wait for the ideal day to go through with my plan. I picked next Tuesday, since that’s the day I caught him in the act. I waited in my car inside the parking garage. It was 3:05; he will be down here in exactly ten minutes. My adrenaline was pumping; I was so happy to finally return the favor. When he got off the elevator and started walking towards his car I knew I had to act fast. I jumped out of my car, grabbing my bat, and made my way to him. As he saw me coming towards him he said “Sam? What are you doing here?” I could tell he could see the crazy in my eye and he knew he was in trouble. Before I even answered I swung the bat and aimed for the back of his head. I researched that if you hit someone on the back of the head at a certain spot they would lose consciousness instantly. After he was lying on the floor I dragged him back to my Nissan Maxima as fast as I could, I wasn’t risking waiting and someone coming down to see.  Once I got back in the car I was so proud that I had pulled it off. The next second I was driving to the old cabin in the woods; I wanted to end this relationship where it started. After arriving at the cabin I dragged him inside and sat him on a chair and tied his hands and feet down. I was going to kill him. I was going to take his heart out…          “Is that your final statement?” I replied to the police officer, “Yes. I told you, it was my plan from the very beginning.”

6.       I taste the salt in the air and feel the cool ocean breeze. Being in Jamaica has opened my eyes to a new culture and I’ve made a million memories with my new hubby. I will never forget how shocked I was when I first stepped on the sand; it was like all my problems had tolled away with the tides and I was at peace with myself. I won’t forget the feeling of the squishy sand between my toes or the sound of my husband laughing uncontrollably. It’s the last day of our honeymoon. I’m going to miss the endless buffets, the sounds of the exotic birds waking me up in the morning, scuba diving and discovering a new world, and most of all I am going to miss sitting on the beach with my husband realizing how truly blessed we are.  

7.       Creative writing I want to do in the future will be about everything that I encounter throughout my days. I base a lot of my writings off observations and real life incidents. I get an outlet for everything that I keep inside when I can write and it differs from any other writings because I don’t have to share it if I don’t want to.

8.       I would just like to say to every one of my classmates that they should keep up all the creative work they are doing. Also to thank all of them to for being sp supportive and never judging anything I’ve written.
