Recommended: The importance of literature

was a hot sunny day when school started. I walked into my first period class which was English. The teacher said today I want an essay done by tomorrow. I was shocked, I had never done an essay in one day. I started to write and within the first minute, I was bored and tired. That was the day I figured out that writing was not for me. Writing makes me nervous and anxious. It's hard to think of what to write on an essay. Many people enjoy writing and I wish I could be like them. If I enjoyed writing, I would not have a problem with homework that involve lots of writing. Sometimes writing can be a good experience and sometimes it can be a bad one. One time when I was in high school my English teacher made me write a five-page essay and that was a bad experience. I took me hours to figure out what to write because I was so stressed that I couldn’t think of what to write. When I am stressed out I feel like I start to sweat and my head starts to hurts like if I had hit it with a baseball bat and my body feels dehydrated and weak. That is why I hate writing it takes a lot of time and a lot of thinking just to write something. The only good experience I had with writing was when I had to write one paragraph of what I liked to do. I was so excited because I already knew the things I was going to …show more content…

When I have an assignment due I try my best to finish it, but when I have a writing assignments it makes me feel bored and sometimes it stresses me out. Just the fact of seeing long paragraphs and letters make me feel depressed and bored. The only time I enjoy seeing long paragraphs is when I get a message from my friends and that doesn’t happen too often. It takes me less than 30 seconds to read it and I reply really fast. One time my best friend Rigoberto sent me a long paragraph describing how he rode a horse and fell off into a pile of dirt. When I read the message I couldn’t stop laughing and instantly replied in less than 30

  • Reflecting on My Writing

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I am assigned to write an essay, the first thing I do is panic. I panic because I always seem to run into the same problems with my writing process. I have no central idea. I have no clue what I actually want to write about. When I was younger, I always started by making a web or an outline because thats what my teachers encouraged me to do in school, but I don’t do that anymore. Now I sit in front of my laptop, I take a deep breath, close my eyes, gather my thoughts, and type. I just let my thoughts flow onto the page. When I don’t feel the pressure of writing to an audience, my writing is completely different than it is when I am writing something that I know my professor or peers will read. As I am writing this exact sentence, I don’t quite know where I am going with it. My writing process is unorthodox and unorganized, but it is what I do everytime. When I stop trying to follow the linear model of writing, explained by Nancy Sommers as the process of forming an idea, writing about it, then revising afterwards, I feel that I am more capable of discovering something meaningful within my words. When I am forced to write a thesis statement and base my paper solely on it, it doesn’t come out as good as I think it should. It decreases the potential for my ideas to grow and discoveries to be made. It limits me to a single statement and narrows my thoughts, preventing me from discovery.

  • Overcoming Writer's Block and Procrastination

    1006 Words  | 3 Pages

    Writers from professional to elementary students suffer from writers block. Writers block is when you cannot think of anything to write. Writers block is usually caused by stress. The brain then has a reaction which disables its ability to put what it is thinking on to paper. As Patricia Huston describes it, “The right, or creative, side of the brain, seeks to create (in this case, write). This induces the left, or analytic, side of the brain to anticipate all the problems that this action could entail, causing it to go into "overdrive" and inhibit the ability to write.” (Paticia Huston)One knows if they have writers block if they are staring at a computer screen or piece of paper for a long period of time. You also know you have it if the writer just feels unwilling to write or is simply just disinterested in the topic. Avoiding writers block is almost impossible since almost everybody experiences it, but there are still many ways to help prevent or cure it.

    Although just because I have a good idea about how to write a paper sometimes the extent of a paper may cause an abrupt urge to put it off more often. “The idea of an eight to ten-page paper is always intimidating; no matter how many times I’ve had to write one before” (Dubicki). Here a senior English major is explaining how sometimes at first glance writing long papers can be intimidating. Which is understandable, because there is only so much that I can muster to write a decently long paper. After I cross the threshold for a typical length paper I start looking for anything to talk about in my

    Every student has experienced the dreadful discovery of an essay assignment in one class or another. Instead of spending the weekend outside or with friends, students are required to stay home typing away, struggling to get every last word in before the midnight deadline. For some people, writing is a means for self-expression, relaxation, or enjoyment, but writing for me has always been a task that is required for some reason. This is likely the main reason why I tend to get a sour taste in my mouth when it’s time to start writing my assignment, typically after procrastinating until the very last minute.
