Assignment 3 has proven to be one of the most difficult yet. I find failing at creating any sort of dynamic change in tension; every line seems to related to the prior to shock the reader or create real tension. Following the workshop week also makes writing a bit more difficult because I want to improve on some of the criticisms of my peers, but that only complicates my writing even more, making me feel like I'm overcompensating too much. Its nice to see that other people had similar difficulties creating tension, and also had some advice regarding how to get through it. Someone wrote about using intensely visual writing in order to create the type of tension needed for this assignment -- I think that ill try that.
Reading Rhyme & Reason will prove very important. I have a limited knowledge about technical aspects of poetry, and I think that exploring the different types of poems and such is essential to becoming a good poetry writer.
