The experience I had with the Public Writing Project was pretty good! I was very scared and anxious about posting my work to the outside world. I posted my story on my instagram and on a public blog I made with my classmates, and I felt comfortable posting with my friends. When it came to posting on instagram where the world outside of creative writing 220 can see. I was worried they wouldn't like my stories or they thought it was dumb, but surprising I got support on it! I also was encouraged by reddit to post on my instagram! I did enjoy the project, it wasn't a difficult project and I liked that.It also gave me experience with posting in the real world. I would totally do this again on my own! I will eventually post a short story on reddit, where a lot of people post short stories!
I too felt that anxiety and the pressure for sure. I am glad to hear that there were people outside of the class room to give you support. I would never have thought about opening up a reddit page and posting my work there. I. can't. even. I am glad that you have gotten more confidant in your writing and that you will continue to send out your work to the web.
