1/31/2017 0 Comments My writing ProcessWriting is probably the best thing since sliced bread. But no, in all seriousness writing is important for many reasons and also can be very therapeutic for some people. We write things down for remembrance or to just express how we feel towards something. I could compare and relate to one of the readings that author Joan Didion has written "Why I Write" when she says when writing you are basically saying "listen to me, see it my way, change your mind". That's exactly how readers would feel. Being in college I definitely face so many distractions one of them being having a job. Oh my goodness having to take care of things for myself by making money and trying to get my education can sometimes be a lot to handle. Another would be procrastination when I do get time to just relax and do nothing that's exactly what I want to do. Nothing, and sleep. My last and biggest distraction is my phone and people. I cannot live without my phone so it is very hard for me to put it down or turn it off to do work I don't even feel like doing. Plus, my best friend always wants to call me and talk about nothing or come over my house to just get on my nerves and keep me from doing my work it's just too hard for me. I definitely believe if I put the time and effort into writing I could become a very good writer because I think about a lot of things and always have many ideas so I could write those things down for like practice to gain some knowledge in writing a great paper. I've gotten good grades on papers I though I would never have and it's because I put my all into it. So, yes I do think I could improve in that area. Avoiding the distractions I have would probably be one of the best things and to do that I would love to take some tips. Such as, tracking my progress, attacking some early hours and definitely paying attention. I tend to get distracted very easily and can become very annoying. Waiting until the last minute or late throughout the day has also been a problem that I could attack that I have. As a writer I sometimes feel like my writing is not good enough and embarrassing to look at so I don't want to look at it and revise it. I feel it's a very silly problem to have as papers are all about writing and revising to make things better. I will say when I am going through things such as being upset about some things I would write it down instead of taking it out on other people. That was my therapy and that's how I used my ability to write.

1/31/2017 0 Comments Why i writeWhy Do I write? As people of the human earth why do we write? It is actually for many reasons in fact it is very important whether we know it or not. For ourselves, other readers, teachers peers you name it. Not only do I think so but an author by the name of Joan Didion who has a reading called "Why I Write" and she explains her argument for why she writes and believes why other people write. She has an interesting that she says "In many ways of writing is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind. The audience you have for your writing is either interested in your story and want to know more or they maybe reading because they have to. Either way they're reading your important writing.
Me personally I write a lot especially for therapy I really sometimes struggle with getting out what I have to say or what I'm feeling so I just write it down and all of my thoughts come out just how I want them to. The thing I struggle with the most is anger. I can get mad at the slightest things but my anger goes a long way and I sometimes cant control it but, when I went to therapy she showed me how to overcome that and one of the things she showed me was to write. I write what made me mad or who and why. She also told me that when I do this about the person I should give them the letter to read so they can see how I am feeling and things can go from there. That was something I really took advantage of. I find this very easy like it just comes to me naturally when I am writing for a personal purpose. Now, I do have a loved one who is currently incarcerated and I do keep in touch with him as I am not able to talk to him every single day like I usually did I feel as though it keeps us connected and he can be up to date on the things I am doing while he is away. When writing for school purposes it is so hard and I will spend hours, days thinking about what i will write, how I will write it it's just a lot of detailing that I never have the patience to plan out. Writing when i'm writing for myself is just the best for me because I feel like it won't judge you and it will listen as we all know it's pen and paper it's won't have anything to say but, you can get all your thoughts and feelings out without any negative feedback. |
