On July 31st, I paused writing on the Writing Break Blog where I was reviewing some of the most relevant of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies. I did this film reviewing exercise weekly since I completed my edX course on Academic and Business Writing (Berkeley, University of California) because for this course’s final paper I prepared a film review – The 39 Steps, directed by A. Hitchcock. In this sense, from the series Old Film Reviews. Hitchcock Series, the following movies were reviewed:
I only interrupted this series to make another review to the course Lost without Longitude that was part of a research for a play I want to write. Indeed, I am a movie lover and passionate about writing in general, which includes film reviews as well. What?! If there was anything left from Hitchcock’s series? Actually, I kept one or two to post on this Writing Blog to stress that this new blog is a continuation of the previous one. photo edited by Laura Lai This author website is a project I was having in mind for quite some time because I wanted to have all information in one place. It became reality after having followed a YouTube tutorial on the way to make a website. Then I started working on the sections of the website and on the pictures to edit to personalize my website. I am content with the way it turned out for the first website that I have done in my life! What do you think?
I think it was a good idea to have this author’s website and that it was fun making it. It has a section about the author and a photo gallery, a section where published books will be posted, a writing blog, and a contact page. In comparison to the previous Writing Break Blog, this new Writing Blog includes a subsection called ‘Writer’s Journal.' I thought it would be a good idea to have such a subsection to create the opportunity for these kinds of posts – where I share some thoughts and news. Hopefully, only great ones! Future projects? As a matter of fact, I have in mind to make a YouTube channel, improve my writing skills with other courses, blogging, writing, and so on. But I will post all the information on this Writer’s Journal. It is great to be back on the Writing Blog! It is great to meet you all! It will be a pleasure to read your comments and suggestions! Have a beautiful and successful autumn! Please, do not forget to stay safe! |
