Me as a writer AGAIN
As the weeks progress here in English 110, I find myself changing up my writing still a little bit. Im starting to get used to not being able to write what I want to write about. I mean I still dont really like it, but It's getting easier day by day. I am starting to be able to focus better and write more. Although, I am having alot of trouble understanding the whole concept of the Autoethnograpy. I'm sure my paper is going to suck and it's going to ruin my perfect GPA that I have going right now. I still dont have much confidence in writing what others tell me to write or anything besides my music. Im not lacking as bad as I used to though. I think as the weeks go on, I will get alot better than I am. My focus level has changed somewhat from when I first started writing though. I can't write anything in the Library at school anymore. The Librarians and helpers are all loud and disrespectful, and I can't focus at all there. I have been getting used to sleepless nights of cramming my papers in at home. Other than school, I dont have time except in the middle of the night. It's still hard for me to focus without music or someone to talk too. I have noticed that it's getting easier and easier to use descriptive words and learn to use new words that I've never had a reason to use anymore. I do think overall that I'm starting to progress in my writing styles and ability's though.

this sounds like me life story when it comes to this class. I never get a chance to do anything till damn near one in the morning and it is really messing with my perfect summer sleep schedule.
ReplyDeleteYes, Chad. This blog signals progress, even if it's slow.
ReplyDeleteWriting for school always presents this big conundrum: I want you to be able to choose your topics so you are engaged, but you're still not writing what you want to. I have to give you all kinds of different assignments so you learn how write in all different situations (audiences, purposes). Your reflection here (metawriting) is sweet and will be a big part of your development this semester.
