Hmmm...me as a writer. I don't even really know where to start. I really enjoy writing very much. I think that I'm a decent writer on certain occasions. Pretty much, what im saying is that I write good when I dont have to play by the rules. I like to choose my own subjects and write without having to worry about correcting my mistakes.
However, I want to become a better writer. I don't think I would be as picky about my writer if i was better at it. I'm not very good at sitting down and writing something, that someone tells me I have to write. Usually when I choose my own subject, the words flow out of my pen like musical lyrics. What I mean by that is when I write music, it just flows through my mind like everyday thoughts. Also, Im not very good with punctuation. Im sure that you've figured that put by now though. LOL. I have trouble with where to put commas, and where to end thoughts in my sentences.
I'm hoping that this class will bring me out of my shell, and help me become a more conditioned writer. I also hope that it will help me learn how to play by the rules of good writing. I say that for a couple different reasons. Number one, is that I would like to be able to think more clearly about subjects other than those I choose. Also, I want to lean how to punctuate my writings correctly. I think that learning these things will help me to become an excellent writer, someday. I really dont have anything else to say about my writing at this point. I guess I'm still just hell bent on writing my own thing. Hopefully I can come out of this kick pretty soon. Anyways, I think I'm going to stop writing now. Until next time....I'm out.

ReplyDeleteHey, wow, you wrote a lot more than I did... And I know what you mean about wanting to get better- That's what we're here for anyway. I like how you write like you talk, though. It made this sound a lot more interesting.=]
ReplyDeleteWe are similar in some ways with writing. I just don't think I am very good at it. You say you are able to write songs...........I can't do that at all. My husband is really good at that. I hope as well that this class helps me to write on topics that are "forced". I just hope I am able to become a better writer all together.
ReplyDeleteI hear you brother. I am really hoping that getting back into the swing of things will make me a better writer. If not better, then it will give me the tools and knowledge to eventually make it better. I think you should totally post some of your songs. Some people might not understand them, but they definitely send a message.
ReplyDeleteI cannot write well either when somebody is telling me to write something. But when I pick the topic i have so many ideas that i could write about. I am hopeing to become a better writer too
ReplyDeleteChad,
ReplyDeleteOur goal is going to be to work on how to capture some of the same experience of lyric-writing into your "academic" writing.
