Blog Post Series - April 2025
Through my work placement I worked with Resilient Writers. One of my projects was a series of genre based web prompts. This was a challenging project because when it comes to creative writing, I find idea generation to be the hardest part and often work best with prompts and other restrictions to start me off. To be on the other side of that coin was very interesting and proved to me that I am more able to generate creative writing ideas than I thought!
Email Copy - Fall 2024
These are my contributions to a group project's newsletter. We had a blog called Finding Fun in Ottawa which we promoted through social media including newsletters via Mailchimp. The intent was to give a little bit of exclusive information, but ultimately lead readers to our most recent blog posts.
Social Media - Fall 2024
During my Writing for the Web course, I worked on a group project which consisted of contributing to a blog and the promotion of it. These are the promotional X posts that accompanied my blog posts on Finding Fun in Ottawa.
Blog Post - October 2024
Finding Fun in Ottawa was a group project with three other contributors. Our main goal with the blog was to remind people there is lots to do in Ottawa and furthermore, to speak to those that aren’t looking for the bar scene. We all agreed that fun looks different for everyone, and we each looked at it from a different perspective.
My first post focussed on the “Nerds of Ottawa.”

My second post focussed on the variety of markets and how, even if you don't buy, “window shopping” and chatting with vendors is a good way to spend an afternoon.

We all agreed that fun looks different for everyone, and we each looked at it from a different perspective.
Our third posts took a slightly different tone with the goal of being more narrative in nature, allowing the reader to live vicariously through an experience to see if maybe they want to experience it as well. I went to The Mud Oven to paint ceramics.
Article (Satire) - March 2024
This piece was born of an assignment to write an op-ed or satirical article. I clearly went the satire route. There is some room for improvement on this one if only in keeping the tone satirical rather than breaking to a more op-ed style piece part way through. I like the piece, it is just a bit unclear in its structure.
Article (just the leads) - Feb 2024
This was an exercise in writing different styles of leads. We were given a lead style, simple written prompt, and a picture to build our lead on. This allowed me to practice different styles of leads as well as gain a better understanding of what types of stories lend themselves to what styles of leads.
