Ah yes, today is the day where I write my final blog for this semester. I actually thought that this last blog could be anything that we wanted to write about. Unfortunately, our professor already planned subject in advance to write about. I had an idea of what I could possibly write about, and I hoped to make a stunning finish for this class. It does not matter now because I am supposed to talk about what were my goals when I entered this class for the very first time.

To be quite honest, I cannot remember them all specifically. All I can remember is that I wanted to get rid of writer’s block with relative ease. I also wanted to please and surprise my professor. I wanted to prove to myself that I can indeed write. I do not remember much of anything else that I wanted out of this class. I am confident that I will receive an A in this class, but I do not care about that. Much anyway. I wanted to show myself and others that I could write well. That I could somehow inspire others with my ideas.

I suppose I have reached my “goals”. Now that I think about it, I accomplished most of them. My teacher proved to be very helpful when I submitted my rough draft for each essay that I had to write. She asked questions that I would have never thought about. They were thought provoking question and I learned to ask myself some of these as well when I write. Of course, I usually write short stories for fun, but now I know what a person may be looking for when they request and read an essay of mine.

However, I still have not figured out how to surpass writer’s block. I would like very much to be able to get rid of it permanently. I am actually suffering from this horrible disease as I type this. I am stuck in a tight place on one of the writing projects that I am working on. I have been stumped on what to write next. I know exactly how the middle and ending are going to be, but I am stuck in the very beginning. To be able to know the cure of writer’s block would be one my life’s greatest treasures.

This will be my new resolution when I walk into composition II next semester. I want to get rid of this completely. I also want words to flow out of my fingertips with ease. I struggle whenever there is a subject assigned to me. If I am not passionate about the subject, my writing usually turns out to be dull and a bit lackluster. Even now I am struggling to reach the five hundredth word. I want my writing to be alluring and captivating. Based on previous feedback on one of my previous fictions on the internet, I am good at captivating audiences with my short stories. However, I want much more than that. I want to capture the attention of everyone who reads my work.

Next semester, I will approach composition II with my head up high. I have learned much already, and I am willing to learn more. Who knows? With the information that I will gain next semester, I could get inspired to publish an idea that has been in my head for a long time now.
