Top Five Posts From This Term
I have never been the most successful writer in a class setting, or considered remotely influential with a pen; however, with the conclusion of this class, I believe I have sharpened my writing tools to the point where I am comfortable putting words to paper. The past 10 weeks I have created a plethora of Medium posts that have received a fair amount of engagement through twitter. This is some of the best writing I have done in a class since I have started University work.
With the most engagement by far, my Tech article, Starlink in Ukraine, article was a perfect example of some of the best examples I can give of embedding an article into text while communicating clearly what I had jumbled in my mind.
A strong example of my Livestream writing capabilities includes the post I created while trying to successfully watch the Big Ten Championships out of enjoyment. This was some of my better writing because I felt glued to the action in the matches I was writing about and scanning for every particular detail that might have something to do wit h the way the matches were going. In high school, I really wanted to become a sports analyst for wrestling and after creating this post, I felt that fire ignite again.
Top Video Games on Twitch was an article I wrote that I was supper passionate about in the time I was writing it because my team and I were pushing for a high ranking, and my Twitch stream was booming. While I thinking about subjects to put onto paper, my stream came to mind. At the time this was helping me hyper focus, and I believe that it reflected in my writing. My goals are to be able to write solid captions for videos I post on social media for my channel and I believe this was a great leeway.
Justice For Hunter meant the world for me because Hunt was one of my best friends at Southern Oregon and someone whom I clicked with immediately. I had to edit this post a ton in order to not slander the suspect in the case. I am still super bias and willing to admit that; however, it won’t bring my old friend back. I believe this post reflects passionate writing and solid use of embedding posts from news outlets. Since writing this post the suspect has been arraigned and had court trials and the case is still ongoing.
The last post I want to speak about was the Comedy Podcast I made, taking a crack at average Ashlanders. I have a good time joking about them because of the Ashland Memes page on Instagram and the acknowledgement that it’s a different world here than where I grew up, figuratively speaking. I believe this had a good amount of success because of the Twitter intro I used.
