Calming the inner Critic.pdf1.2 MB
Above is the first reading assignment of my English250 class. The piece is called "Calming the Inner Critic" and was written by Goodwin. As a first assignment, I was pleased that the piece was quite short, and easy to understand. The main concept of the reading is simple; Don't let others opinions of your writing get in the way of your writing. I completely agree. You are who you are and writing can be one of the best ways to express yourself. You can't be yourself if you are following another's writing style. One of Goodwin's strongest points in her piece was that like our ancestors, how you write will stick around long past you are gone, so being yourself in your writing might just inspire future writers. Moral of the story? Be your own writer.

Amanda, I like your writing style here. You are doing a good short summary and as one reader I think you're final sentence would make a nice paper title someday. Looking forward to seeing some of your longer pieces (so more of what you think!) later.
