How have my past experiences shaped my author identity and how can I reshape my author identity in this course?
I have always been more of a dreamer in my life, ever since I was a child, so I may be a little bit more wrapped up into the fantasy of things. In other words, Sometimes, if I try, I really like a challenge to make a project unique or tie it into me. But in reality, I feel like my writing if not natural, I will really try, but I always confuse myself, and over explain. I hope to iron out those issues when we are done this course.
