Subject line: Anahi Hoeneisen: Transformational Journey
1. What I learned doing this assignment?
I learned that I actually can control myself. I can prioritize speed vs quality. I relaxed and tried to move forward without judging myself and knowing that there will be things that can be changed later. I realized that the character´s journey is intimately tied to the story. It became clear to me that it is the character´s journey that makes us want to follow the story. And above all, I learned that I can enjoy writing by relaxing more.
