Prologue

In consideration of what I wanted to write this blog about, I thought why not blog about something I enjoy and might benefit from?

This semester, I have found my love for creative non-fiction writing. As a student of English, I get to read a lot, and I'll admit it, not all writing is created equal. I have my favorites. I've found that the writing that I admire most are well-written personal essays. After I read these essays, I want to be able to write like these authors. A lot can be learned from looking and analyzing other's essays.

In this blog, I intend to read personal essays, and then I will comment on what I found particularly well done or not so well done in the essay. Hopefully by learning from these essays, other writers and I can implement the good qualities into our own writing.
