When I first started looking over the directions for the paper I was a bit scared. Just from reading the directions I had a lot of questions and concerns. For me, this was not a good way to start off the semester, especially for an internet class when you can’t personally sit in class and ask questions to make sure you are on the right track with your thoughts.
After a second well-laid-out explanation of more what the paper was supposed to be I feel more prepared and ready for this class than my first impression had brought me. This is my 3rd internet class, and I really understand the value of being able to ask questions and get answers right away since the questions can’t be asked face-to-face.
Once I understood the requirements of the paper I was able to start thinking about what I really wanted to base my paper off of, and what I had read recently read that has really made an influence on my life. Since I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, his books are about all I have read recently in my rare-found free time. As far as what book of his has made the greatest influence in my life is a really good question and is exactly what I am going to have to look into before I start writing and compiling my paper. Is it A Bend in the Road where one has to put aside their fears of what has happened in the past to move on and live the life they have always dreamed of, or is it The Guardian where a fake identity turns into an over-powering stalking case? Those are two of many that will come into factor when deciding which one influenced my life the most.

Hi, Jessica:
I like your reflections on the writing process. I look foward to seeing how Sparks's work has affected you.
It sounds like you have a great topic to write about! Have you read Three Weeks With My Brother by Nicholas and Micah Sparks? I have never read anything else by Nicholas Sparks but I am reading that book right now, and I really enjoy it! I hope that this paper goes well for you! Good luck!
Jessica,
I think I was just as scared as you were at first. It's getting better now that the assignment is more understood, at least for me. I have never read, that I can remember anyway, any of the books by Sparks. You have a good basis for your paper from the sounds of it. Good Luck!
