Introduction

Hi, I'm Elora from Plano, Texas. I am a freshman at TCU with a major in English and a double minor in Japanese and Business. I decided to take this (1) as a prerequisite to my major, and (2) also in that I am interested in furthering my ability to create persuasive arguments in the future. I love writing short stories, etc., and I've written two novels. I read every day, and it's one of my favorite pastimes. All in all, i enjoy writing in itself whether I am judged to be skilled at it or not. It is a good outlet for everything that happens to scuttle about in my head.

I think my blog could possibly be arguing that writing is something that is affective and meaningful in itself whether the writer is talented or not, extending the "affected" from oneself to any range of people. I wanted my page to be fun and inviting (hence the incorporation of kittens, The Beatles, and sweet colors). I am an easy-going, cheery person, so that argument in itself comes across through the page's layout. I'm excited to be posting my thoughts on it.

---final statement---"I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus, which I see as a contract for our course."
