I'm not sure what I was expecting for the Joseph O' Connor event, because I had never been to a reading before and I was curious to see if I would like it or not. Well I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and it was a great experience for me. Joseph O' Connor has the ability to captivate and intrigue you when he is reading, he just makes you want to listen.

 When Professor Bergman instructed us that we needed to go Joseph O'Connor's reading I had no idea what to expect. Literally no idea. I had never been to a reading before, I didn't even know what one was. Who Joseph O'Connor was, was a mystery and i was a little bit trepidatious.

The reading we went to yesterday was both exctiting and intriguing. I have never been to a reading before and I was happy that it was an enjoyable experience . Writing is something I love to do. It really interested me to listen to Joseph O'Connor and to learn how a writer begins writing. I always have trouble getting the ideas that I have down on paper. When I travel to and from school I get inspired by what I see. Stories and characters pop into my mind but when I begin to write down what I think of, it never comes out the same.
