Hey everyone! Thank you for listening to the presentation of my Twitterive! Now, here are some questions:
1.) Did you like that I used the piano as kind of both a place and a character in my narrative. If yes/no, explain a little.
2.) Honestly, come on now, was my opening poem cheesy?
3.) Were the videos distracting? or did they add to the piece? Please explain your response a little.
4.) Was my Prologue and Final Thoughts section long enough? did they introduce and say farewell efficiently? Why or why not?
5.) Besides the fact that Weebly is messing up the layouts and fonts, can you suggest anything that would make my Twitterive more visually appealing and easier to understand/read through?
6.) Is there a different genre/modal you would suggest I try using for a new section or one already existing?
 
Who are the characters in your Twitterive?
    Me and my piano. I have some sub-characters that I mention, but really only in passing.
What connection/disconnection do you feel to your place?
    I feel a connection to my place because I have been playing since I was in 4th grade. Music is such a big part of me.
When does the story take place?
    From when I was about 9 til present
Where does the story take place?
    Basically around the 3 different houses my piano has been
Why does the story take place?
    I love music. I live and breathe it.
How are you delivering/presenting the story?
    I have some pics, videos, and audio clips so I may just go off of that.

Post Interview Thoughts:
    After talking to my peers, I feel pretty good about my Twitterive. My interview group seemed really excited about my ideas and progress thus far. They encouraged me to go with the autobiography motif and to use me and my piano as the main characters. At first, I was not sure if that would work, but now I see the right way to do it. Now, I feel confident to pour myself into this piece, whereas before I was a little nervous to go too deep with it. My partner suggested putting pictures up of when I was little playing the piano, but I unfortunately do not have any. Yet, I am posting pictures of the houses my piano has been in and some videos of my current students. This way my audience will have a good visual to relate too. In addition, my videos have sound, and I will be adding other audio aspects to my Twitterive. By using all these modes, I hope to connect to each member of my audience in some way. Not everyone is familiar with music, but they may be familiar with heartache, moving, teaching, or animals (Yes, they all apply!)  I am really looking forward to how this project will unfold.
 
    Thus far in WRT, I have already tried things in different genres that I never have before in a writing class. Such as reading a story and writing my own microfiction inspired from it. I focused my tweets to figure out something that meant a lot to me that I could make into a narrative. And I wrote poems based on my own stories. To be honest, it has been a little tough so far, but I have enjoyed the challenge. I used Twitter in a previous class for a kind of narrative as well, but I don't think I really made it the heart of the assignment during that class. I wound up with a pretty decent story, but I am definitely more excited about what is going to happen with my new, upcoming twitterive for WRT.  In regard to the poetry from the last blog, I will admit it is not my best, and this also made me realize that I need to be more descriptive in my tweets, especially if I am using them for generative purposes. I never realized how convenient Twitter really is. I can almost use it as a writing journal to jot down ideas throughout the day. But I just have to make sure my tweets are descriptive and full--not sketchy and lacking, so I'm going to work on that.  I am looking forward to the rest of this class because I do see improvement in my process as a writer already. I see myself looking at things differently, and I am eagerly awaiting to see where that will take my future blogs and upcoming assignments. I am hopeful, and that is a good feeling to have as a writer.
