While writing my Hiraeth, I worked alone. I felt as though this was a good approach because I hate working in groups when it comes to assignments like this. When writing a paper, I want my opinion only because I am able to free hand whatever I want and I can also add in or take things out without a debate. The most difficult thing about my writing process was finding out what I was going to write about and how I was going to write it. Overcoming this was not hard at all. Once I sat down and wrote a list which was my grandmother, my childhood home that never was , and high school just to name a few it became clear to me that writing about my grandmother would be most effective. I wrote about this the day of the class as a whole found out about it. This was an awesome approach because myself and a few other people in our second class were very much ahead. I wrote my first draft in class and as soon as I got home I revised it and typed it up in my room. My room is the most quiet place in the house being as though my living room is occupied by a nine month old half the time. Why I chose to write about grandmother is very important to me. Once I understood the term 'hiraeth' it stood out to me out of all of the other things I would potentially write about. I've always thought about never being able to return to living my life without my Gran in it and not being able to do all of the things we used to do together. But now, I had an explanation as to what this meant. I plan to revise this project in the best way possible. Even if that means rewriting the whole thing. I am very excited to see how this turns out at the end of the semester. I plan for this to be one of my best papers by far and if I want that to happen I have a lot of revision to do. I plan on adding a lot more detail entailing the five senses. I feel that this will bring it to life!
