Writing in Interactive media

This semester has been tough. Not being a technical writer, I learned quite a few things about projects and especially writing in various forms. Although the assignments were sometimes difficult, I must say that I really did enjoy this class. I learned so much about all the components of writing for media and what goes into it. I will always appreciate websites and other forms of media a bit more, knowing the kind of effort that is put into them. But now, as the semester draws to a close, I must reflect on the impact of this class. Because of my integrated studies program, and my different, and very opposite subject matters, I don't think that a career in interactive media is for me. I like writing, I like all the technologies that we have, but I don't see myself as a writer. I have written blogs as a job, once, and I found it very difficult to stay motivated and make my writing interesting. (I wrote about banks, bonds, and accounts) After that, I really have not looked into media writing as an option. Perhaps I could write as a side-job, where I write at my own pace, on subjects that I find interesting. My career focus is focused on face-to-face interactions. Like I said earlier, I love all the technology that we have, but I have seen the effects first hand of the problems that can be associated. It is just easier to avoid the problem altogether. Everything in moderation :) But, I shouldn't say never either...

I think that we will always have to be conscious of writing for interactive media because technology is becoming more and more versatile, as well as an integral part of our lives, so, I think it is just something we have to keep in mind.

I am so glad that I was able to be a part of the group I was in. It was nice to see familiar faces-Lisa and Dan, and it was very nice to meet Michelle.

You guys! It was fun! You were a great group to work with and will miss you all after the semester is over. Hopefully we have another class together, but I think that my English coursework is nearly complete. So, good luck with the rest of your classes. I know you will be great writers, in business, education, and law, or wherever your lives take you. Hopefully I'll see ya around after the semester is over. Thanks for an awesome semester in ENG 3180. Have a great break!!! Be  safe :)

And to Dr. Bacabac,
Thank you so much for making this such a great class. I will definitely recommend you to my other peers if they need an English credit. It's been a pleasure to be one of your students. Have a great break! I'll see you next spring in Grant writing.
