I would say that the most important core competency that I used during the process of writing this short story would be creative thinking. At the start of the process of writing this story, I had no idea what story I was going to tell. I made a mind map to generate and display my ideas. I also asked for other peoples opinions on what I should write, I was then able to generate and build off of other peoples thoughts and ideas to achieve my topic for my story. I wrote the beginning of my story 3 times, in an effort to build my thought process through the story. I was able to make my ideas work, even though I had to revise a couple of times. When I got stuck and didn’t know what to write next, I would get up and walk around the room, this helped my mind breathe a little when it was stuck, and I was able to continue my writing with a fresh mind. One main problem I came across during the writing was the fact that I had accidentally written 2500 words when you were only supposed to write 1500. I had to cut a lot of my story down. This was an issue because I had to make sure my story still flowed well and wasn’t choppy. Overall I was very happy with the end result of my short story and I will use these tools again when writing to hopefully achieve the same results.
