Week 7 brought about a pitching session for the blog posts that will eventually be posted on our anthology website. We dissected each others ideas and gave feedback to one another to help tease out the crux of our classmates pitches, to ensure that their pieces were as interesting and engaging as possible.

The idea that I pitched was an explorative piece about musician Maggie Rogers and her rise to fame in the music industry, as well as speculation about where her career could possibly lead and the the release of new music as an emerging artist. I want to specifically focus on her very otherworldly and distinctive sound, and hone in on the inspirations behind her music.

On Wednesdays class we covered all things grammar and common mistakes that were made in PB2. We touched on the importance of reading our writing out loud to help pick up on simple mistakes, as well as the difference between passive and active voices. Other topics that came up were grammatical errors such as the difference between colons and semicolons and “it’s” versus “its”. A passive voice is a trap that I’ve found myself in, specifically in critical writing and my journey to find my voice as a writer, and that is something I’ve really been working on in my current work.
