Words and text can be powerful. Because I am a science major, I do not really do a lot of writing on a regular basis. If I do write, it is of a technical nature or sending emails. I rarely do any type of creative writing. This really gave me an opportunity to do this.

One exercise was the “A week of remix.” It was a poem about the week (which my mother remembers being told). I have rewritten it, below, to show constant struggle to get myself out of bed and fully functioning!

Work to awake – by James Kuzyk

Mondays a slog to get awake

Tuesdays better, but little at stake

Wednesday is a swing, for

Thursday when I begin to win

Fridays great to end the week

Saturday fortunately able to sleep

Sunday chill, to start anew

Do it again, but still no clue.

“National Lost Sock Memorial Day” was an interesting exploration:

A sock lost its partner,

Now out in the cold,

Was it on purpose?

Well, it was very holed.

“What’s the last book you read?” The last book I read was a graphic comic, Hawkeye. It is based on the Marvel Superhero and explores his relationship with his protégé Kate. It’s a really great read. It really explores how flawed Hawkeye is, as a character. He is a multi-dimensional person and really very imperfect. It is really resonated with me. He is always trying to help the little guy or someone in need. It is action packed and yet there are good lessons within the book. I highly recommend it!

I have tried to use techniques such as signalling through bolding text, providing transitions and adding links for the reader. I am also working on my storytelling, by working to make the posts interesting and personalized to engage the reader.
