week 2: how I feel when I write

Writing to me can be so much fun! It really gets me to use my mind and express my opinions and ideas. Writing is something I can do anytime because I feel like I can speak about the topic personally and not have to write what someone else thinks and feels, I get to use my own beliefs and expressions when writing. Writing about something I can relate to or have a strong passion for makes it even better because I can write about so much more an get into the topic itself. Now writing about something boring and dull gets harder to use my ideas because I think so little about the topic its hard to be personal about the topic when there is nothing that I can connect to.
Now when I get an assignment and the teacher says to write about a certain thing it takes time to organize my thoughts to match the topic, but once I get started I feel like I could write all day about it unless it's a subject about history or something that will put me to sleep. Professional writer's say when you get stuck and can not write anymore take a break and it will come to you, however, I feel like if you write out some thoughts on paper or just take a minute to breath then it will come and I feel like I can continue right away with out taking that break from my thoughts. Your thoughts can be so powerful and sporadic when they come so it really helps to put them in writing so you can come at ease and focus so you can present them all in your paper with out making runons and putting all the thoughts in the wrong places.

  1. I agree that it is hard to write on a subject that is boring. I also have to organize my thought as well before I write. Sometimes I have to take a break when I'm writing too to refocus.

  2. You're had some great experiences, I'm going to want you to share with the class, Kristi!

    BTW, you'll have the freedom to choose your topics in this class.

    I take breaks, too, to clear my mind and help me approach the task with a fresh head. :)
