Creating a website on Weebly was very exciting for me. I loved the fact that I would be able to share my thoughts and writings with others. Setting up my website on Weebly was rather easy. Therefore, the Twitterive assignment heighten my excitement to add another dimension to my website. However, as I began to compile my Twitterive writings, I had a very difficult time getting Weebly to cooperate. I had planned out the design for my Twitterive that I thought would best display my final draft.
Yet, when I was finished the draft, although it did not look the way I had planned, I was very pleased with my finished product. I am a firm believer that presentation makes a difference. However, I was so content with my final writing selections that fonts, and style took a "back seat" in the assignment.
Since Tuesday evening, Weebly seems to have worked out some of the kinks, and I was able to go back and make my Twitterive assignment a bit more visually pleasing. I even felt good about adding a few more items to my sections. So all is well in my "Twitterive" world.
I was also pleased with the fact that I was able to use many of my Twitpics and Tweets in my Twitterive. I am very grateful that I bought a new phone that allowed me to use Twitter and take Twitpics. I found this new technological tool very helpful in my writing process. Documenting my thoughts, visions, and scenery as they presented themselves gave me a newfound insight and helped me discover my place.
As I was Tweeting and taking Twitpics, my input was sporadic. Yet when it came time to determine my place, I discovered my entries were more connected than I had thought. The process of writing poems, narratives, and letters to go along with my repetend ~driving ~ was very thought provoking. I found myself constantly reflecting on my approach to the assignment. At the same time, my mind was consumed with the varying writing pieces I thought would work well in my Twitterive.
At one point, I found my self waking up in the middle of the night thinking of all the different writing approaches I could use. I laid in bed writing in my head. I even Tweeted about this sleepless night referring to it as Tweetsomnia-when your Twitterive keeps you up all night!
As you may have guessed, most of those mind written pieces never presented themselves in the exact same manner as when I originally composed in my head. Thus, as many established authors have advised, it is best to keep a paper and pen by your bed to write when necessary. Although I did write my ideas, I did not write them verbatim.
I do believe that all good writing is a process. I had many drafts, edits, and rewrites. And although I am pleased with my Twitterive thus far, I know there are things I will continue to work on and improve until the final piece is submitted. I am always open for ways to improve my writing, that goes along with the profession. Write, rewrite, and write some more...that is what leads to a quality piece of writing...and I am striving for a quality Twitterive product.
