creative writing and research -blog#5

In class I started to think about the topic of my dad's job and how it effected me while I was growing up. As I started to think in a sense his job really circled around my whole life and me growing up as a child. As I began to jot down thoughts I then began to brainstorm all my feelings and emotions that came up. I realized that in order to make this into a story and/or paper it would be more so of a free write. I came to this realization because all of what would be put into it were my thoughts. I didn't have a story line with a beginning middle and end, it was just how I felt. To go about writing this I would have to think as far back as I could remember to where I realized that my dad was not around as often as I would of liked him to be and how it effected me. When I write I always have to think of my feelings towards whatever my topic is because it is going to come out in my writing. While growing up I didn't really get to see my dad often because he was always on business trips. I vaguely remember things from my childhood so to get the best results of how things really were I would have to talk with my mother and my older sisters and brothers. I can ask my dad a few questions as well because I know he is not happy that he missed out on childhood memories because even as an adult he talks about it. Overall this piece would be more of a free write because it is all my thought and how I feel.
