When first put on the spot to write quick and off the cuff, I was not to sure how to handle it. My first inclination is to be perfect, sound smart and usually boring. I figured with the time limitations that my page was going to be empty if I followed this path. So… I gave up my first inclinations and just tried to write as I speak and see what happened. The words came to me more quickly and flowed onto the paper. I found that I enjoyed the process more than the usual writing assignment. Reading the story back to the group was easier than expected as well, I suppose, because I was reading words that I would say naturally. When it was all over I found that my circle of listeners enjoyed what I had to say and I did too.
Although the topic I had in class was not the subject of my digital story, I will take this approach in some form or fashion when I write my script, but maybe with a twist.
