How have my past experiences shaped my author identity and how can I reshape my author identity in this course My past experiences with writing have shaped my author identity because I always wrote the same way throughout school. I would just write to answer the prompt and nothing more. I wouldn’t include as much detail and emotion as I should have. In this course I plan to reshape my author identity by practicing different styles of writing in my blog posts. I also want to make sure I include more details and emotions to make my writing more appealing to the readers.
