Introduction: “What’s In Your Wallet?”

Awareness of Audience and Voice: “What’s in Your Wallet” was the writing prompt that posed the first big challenge for me. In the initial brain storming part I felt like all I was producing was an inventory and wasn’t making progress after an entire day. This prompted drastic measures and I looked up and completed my very first formal outline for a writing assignment. It was early in the quarter so I was hoping that it would make a good introduction to who I am and get a little of my writers voice warmed up. There weren’t a lot of cues to work off of which tends to help me stay on track and have a better idea of what the assignment is.
I’ve been a member of a web forum I’ve read almost every day for the last five years and I have 67 posts to date. Many who joined about the same time I did have several thousand posts so that will serve as proof I don’t like to just stick my thoughts on the internet for the world to review. These public writing activities have loosened me up a bit and I’ve learned there is as much to learn from feedback gives almost limitless perspective to future writing.
