Journal Entry 1

This first week has been interesting. I have enjoyed the text a lot more than I anticipated. typically writing text drone on and bore the pants off me. Three Genres however has captured my attention and ignited a passion for learning the way to write. I particularly found it interesting that most good writers are avid readers. I have to say I often read Dean Koontz and the mans mind intrigues me. He has to get his material from somewhere, perhaps he reads King. Overall I have tried to read a litle from each of the books. I think Bird by Bird may be a read that I recommend to my family. I love the tone that the book has, conversational and real. Going back to the text, Killing Chickens was an amazing short story. The passion and emotion of this story really touched me. It is amazing the way she stressed and thought about the next days activities, true to a woman, always looking forward even when the here and now is dragging us back.
