Week 8 Reading and Writing

Image source: Grandfather and granddaughter Mural Painting

This Image is one of my favorites because looking at it takes me back to my childhood and memories of my grandfather. I also like how you can see the grandfather's soft expressions and smiling as he is giving her the icecream. When I look at the little girl's face, I can see this admiration she has for her grandfather. The dalmatian trying to eat the ice cream is a plus and it gives this comedic effect to the mural.

Looking back at my reading and story posts, I can see that I still need improvement. However, for being my first time experience with writing stories I don't think my stories are too bad. I always struggle on how to write reading notes, and the "read like a writer" to me it is easiest to summarize stories and then look back at it and pick out things I feel as inspiration. I don't know if this is a good method but it has worked the best for me. My favorite type of stories to write are relationship-themed, mainly because I get inspired by shows, dramas, books and people I see. This is why ninety percent of my stories are love story themed (My favorite is Fate of Temptation!). One thing I struggle with is organizing all my thoughts and ideas and putting them together in a story. This is the reason why I am still not satisfied with my writing project I have so much in my head but struggle to put it together in writing. I hope I can find ways to fix the issue and therefore can help me improve my stories and writing skills.
