Final internal and external reflection

     During this semester we had work on two journeys our experience in learning how to make good ideas to form a good writing.  Our two journeys were a internal journeys, that is a personal notebook and an external journey, that is this blog.  Our internal journey was based in freewriting. Letting ourselves go with thoughts and immediately writing them down. The external journey is based on think, then writing. Being this one a more public form of writing.

     Between these two journey I find more effective the internal one. Thinking and writing, at the same time. I personally like this one because I write it, then I read it and rationalize what I just wrote. Sometimes I'm even surprise of the things I wrote. Now I write all the ideas I have first, whether they are related to the subject or not and then decide which path I'll write about.  The internal one has giving me the benefit of one thing taking me to the other and joining them until I fi d a final idea.

     In my external journey I've learned to be more fluid with my ideas. Because I have in my head that another person is going to read it I write an idea, read it again and then I think if I should leave it or not. I don't feel so much liberty in expressing my ideas. I try to avoid bad ideas and express good one. Unlike my internal, that I have learned to go to the jugular, which personally I tried to avoid at the beginning.

     Overall I like the internal journey over the external, I've come to know myself a bit more in the internal. The thing I mostly like about the external, is that I've become more fluid. Fluid in the way I choose what I'm going to write. At the beginning I thought to much about what I was going to write next now I just "go with the flow" and all my ideas come out but in a organized way. Now sometimes I pick some paper and start writing randomly as a way to get some thoughts out of my head.
