My Experience in Writing 2

This semester is the second time we study writing. Furthermore, it is the first time for us, K.1, to study with these two lecturers: Mr. Muhammad Ansyar, and Mrs. Leni Marlina. However, now I am going to tell my experience in writing 2 with one of my lecturers, Mrs. Leni Marlina or well known as Mrs. Lina.

Since the first time I met her, I found out that she is an explicit lecturer. She ordered us to write our experience in writing 1 last semester, after that we showed our writing to our friends, and asked them to give comments. Then, if our writing has been commented, we would correct it until we felt that there was no mistake there.

Frankly speaking, it was hard for me to write all of essay that she ordered us. Started with the first essay, experience in writing 1, I got a fair draft. It means that, my writing is one level from not bad. Yah, maybe because I really not good at writing essay, but on my revision, I got a better draft. Then I thought that if I keep on trying, then I maybe will get an excellent draft.

Narrative text is the second essay that we have to write. Mrs. Lina ordered us to write a narrative text, it can be a remake of a narrative that already exist, based on our experience, or a fiction that based on our imagination. At that time, I wrote a fiction or short story which is based on my own idea.

We continued with a discussion essay. For the first time, I did not really understand about discussion essay and how to write it. I remembered that Mrs. Lina ordered us to write an outline first, then I kept on thinking of what issue will I write for almost one hour, until an idea came on my mind. I wrote about a pro and contra of superhero movies for children. Well, it actually was inspired by my nephew who is really crazy about superhero movies.

From those three kinds of essay, I really enjoy in writing narrative text which entitled My Step Brother. Thus, I think it is my best essay so far, since I love writing fictions so much. At the first time Mrs. Lina asked about anyone who write about own fiction, no one raised their hand except me! For the first time, I felt so worry, but after Mrs. Lina read a little piece of my story, and she said that it was an interesting fiction, I felt really relief, and a little proud!

I continued to write my fictions on my boarding house. Actually, at the first time, I did not have any idea to continue it yet. I mean, I did not have any plan about the ending; meanwhile, I was pressured by the deadline. Therefore, I decided to write everything that came through my mind. So, the ending that I wrote included some drama scenes. In fact, after I showed it to my friends, some of them said that my story was such a drama, but they liked it. I knew, I knew it will happen. I knew that they will say like that, because I also did not want to write like that.

For my second revision, I had a different idea. I made much of the scenes rather different from the first one. However, my friends said that my revision was more drama than before! Well, I did not have same opinion with them. I just thought that my revision was better than before, and from all of essay that I ever write, I really love my fiction, My Step Brother.

After my narrative text is commented, and submitted to Mrs. Lina, the next step is to publish it to my blog. For the first time, I did not confident with it. I was afraid that if I show it to public, then they will give many criticals for me. Well, now I realize that I have to accept all of suggestions, advices, and criticals, because it can help me to improve my writing.

At last, from many experiences that I felt in writing 2, I learn one important thing, that we should not give up on doing something until we feel that what we are doing already been perfect or agree with our effort. Then, start from now on, I will apply every method that Mrs. Lina taught us; make an outline before begin an essay, ask comments from others after we write it, and then make revisions.
