My Radio Song

This week we got to pick between not two prompts but three! The three prompt options were, "Make a drawing using tiny parts of other peoples' drawings," "Turn on the radio. Switch the station every 10 seconds. Transcribe everything you hear." or "Cut out the panels of a comic strip, rearrange them, and paste them here." I found them all super creative and interesting but I ended up choosing the one titled, "Turn on the radio. Switch the station every 10 seconds. Transcribe everything you hear."

When I first looked at this prompt I thought, "Oh great, what gibberish nonsense is going to appear on my page that my peers are going to see?" After thinking about for longer than what is normal, I finally sat down to do it. I will admit I was nervous but also excited. I didn't know how I was going to write at such a fast pace AND change the radio at the same time, but I managed.

Once I filled the first page I started to notice that what I was writing down actually kinda flowed together. This, at first, struck me as odd. As much as I was puzzled I was growing more and more intrigued. I was excited to see what the radio had in store for me next and how my radio song was going to end.

I turned the radio the final few times and scribbled down the lyrics into my journal as I could not help but smile. My song had a cliche ending. I read over it to double check it made sense like it did in my mind. It did make sense and sounded like any other country love song on the radio. I was satisfied with what I had unintentionally created. This sparks my curiosity on what else is floating around out there waiting to be created, both with intent and unintentionally?

Is it Really Plagiarism if it's Your Work?

This week we had three prompt options to choose from that included: "Make a poem out of newspaper headlines" or "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." or "Make a collage from items in your wastebasket [or steal scraps from someone else's wastebasket.]" This week I had a hard time choosing between all three of the prompts because they were all very intriguing. The prompt I ended up choosing to do was "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." I chose this prompt because I find it odd that one can plagiarize oneself but I guess it's possible and I wanted to try it for myself. I thought plagiarizing myself would be the easiest thing in the world. I was wrong. I found it more difficult than taking things offline and citing them. I did not want to break my own line of thinking in my original paper but for the sake of this prompt I ...

"What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?"

I find myself challenged with the prompts every week. I found this weeks prompts, "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" and "Who do you feel are your competitors? Could you turn them into collaborators? How?" to be the most challenging so far. The prompt I chose to do was "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" I did not write anything long or elaborate on this page because I find myself keeping what I wrote on this page to myself often. I wrote four words on this page, "My thoughts or feelings."  Growing up I was always afraid to speak out in fear of being rejected even though my dad always told me to stand up for what I believe in even if no one else does. It has always bothered me that I always kept quiet because some conversations I have been apart of in high school would really fire me up. Instead of saying anything I would simply nod or say, "alright" and walk...

Florida Fun- Final Project

My project consists of an Instagram and a website. The Instagram is titled “ summerfloridafun, ” while the website is titled, “ Florida Fun .” It took a lot of patience to create my project because I used Wix to create my website and this was my first time using Wix . My goal for this project was to outline my many adventures I took while living and visiting Florida over the past three summers. The purpose was also to keep track of where I was and what I was doing and how I felt when going on these many adventures. My process was a complicated one. It always takes me forever to get an inspiration or idea. My idea took me awhile to fully get in my brain. I know I wanted to expand on my location based narrative but I didn’t know how. I wanted to do something that meant something to more than myself and that would get people interested. The technology I used was my macbook, Wix, and Instagram, along with Google . The three characteristics I used were location based, nonlinear, and...
