I am still speechless after today's class. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. I realized today in presenting, that there is no harm is telling my story. There should be no fear of what others may think. If I can help at least one person smile through tragedy, it was all worth it. I came out of this workshop knowing the changes I can make. I believe I will constantly be altering this twitterive. Just like Jeremy's life, this project isn't over yet. As long as I have his memory, I can always add to this. I can't express how happy it has made me to be able to work through this project and come out feeling stronger with the entire class beside me. I feel like we have turned into one big family. I'm not afraid to open up and show emotion. What made me even happier, was the feedback from everyone. You guys got it. It's one of those things where I sat down to write and just felt defeated. I struggled putting the words down and bringing back the days that changed my life so much. I struggled letting the wall down that I have had up for so long. Once I got going I let it all out. I held nothing back and it was a humbling experience for me. I feel like this has become a new day for me. A time for change to really move forward with my life but remembering that he will always be right beside me.
As far as the rest of the presentations went, I was amazed. I was worried that mine wouldn't measure up and I still feel that way. The topics today were displayed beautifully.
Diane- What can I say? I loved it. I still love it. I think it's powerful and sad and funny all in one. I think you pulled the perfect amount of satire into your work to just make it pop. The pictures are AWESOME. I think they describe perfectly the emotion in your story. Overall, I think you really did an awesome job and I know you'll continue to revise and add things to just make it even better!!! My boyfriend and I sat on his couch Monday morning when I wasn't feeling well (and stranded there- sorry Sab Man) and read your Twitterive. He loved it also. We talked about it for the last couple of days as I continued my Twitterive process. I'm proud of you :). You are doing fantastic work and I absolutely love your writing style.
Fabio- I love the idea of your Twitterive. I can see in your nervousness how much Carmen meant to you and your family. I really like the idea of your connection between Carmen and Christmas. Maybe you should use Shannon's song- Sleeping At Last by Snow (http://www.songlyrics.com/sleeping-at-last/snow-lyrics/) :). Overall, my advice to you- have confidence!!!!! Your work has such potential if you just dig deep. I truly believe you have it in you. I want to know who Carmen is. I want to hear something from HER voice (another genre). I really think it would give your twitterive that UMPH that I'd love to see from you!! You can do it! Believe in your work!!!
SMPARRY- You are so darn creative. I love it. I never would have thought of something like your twitterive. Your music choices are phenomenal and I literally teared up when you played your dance video. I think you are so talented and it shows in your work. I'd love to see you show us in a different genre for the What is Sids. You do great work!!! :):):)
Cant wait to see everyone elses projects!!!!!!!!!
