Narrative and Ideas

Well...the reading took me a long time to get through all of the stories.
All the narrative stories had similarities. When you finished the short stories you knew their significance and stance. They all had captivating details and emotion behind their stories. Even though it took me a while to read them all, it really wasn't that boring. I found that the stories kept my attention and shed light on how a narrative should be written.
"All good writing revolves around ideas". That is so true! But after reading ways to generate ideas i found some that i know i will definitely never use. Clustering, for example, looks just plain confusing. Questioning and letter writing, to me, don't seem like a ways that would be beneficial to me. And even though hose ways don't appeal to me, there were other ways that DID attract me! Listing, outlining, and discovery drafting all seemed like ways that would work for me. Well...I'm out of things to talk about!!
