When I have written narratives in my past school experiences, they have made me feel uncomfortable. Personally, I don't like to write about myself. Sometimes I feel like I won't have enough dialogue or what I'm writing about won't be interesting to read. It takes a lot of time and vulnerability to go in depth about myself and something that I have experienced. Although it's difficult to start, it gets easier.
The first blog post I will be linking, is going to be my letter to my author self. This will give you some insight on how my author self is going to shine in my narrative. This memoir was definitely a huge turning point when it comes to my writing. I have grown exponentially in regards to the genre of a narrative. The next blog post I will be linking, is my writing process roundtable. This blog post was actually very fun to write and I didn't feel as much pressure to write. The third blog post I will be linking, is an Emotional Scene with Dialogue and Symbolism. While this will not be what my narrative is about, this blog post helped me to get into the mindset of writing my narrative. This emotional scene is about the day my cousin Brianna had a seizure right in front of me. Luckily, she survived that day and is still alive and thriving to this day. The last blog post I will be linking, is my Counterfactual to blog post #5. This blog post willl give an alternate ending to that scene.
I decided to do my narrative about the day I got an MRI of my brain and spinal cord when I was twelve-years old. That day was easily one of the most traumatic things I've been through in my life. I've been through quite a few things from the moment I was born, but this was the hardest obstacle I have faced so far in my twenty-three years of life. This day came with a whole new set of obstacles and challenges I would face in the years to come. I am a true believer in everything happens for a reason though we might not know what those reasons are in the moment, God has a plan for each one of us.
