In Joan Didion's Why I Write , we learn as to why she writes. She wasn’t a “good writer or a bad writer but simply a writer.” She is just a normal person who writes in order to figure out what she is thinking and learn more about the different topics that she is thinking about.
I’m not a big fan of writing personally, I mostly write when I’m required to as a student. When I do write a paper, getting started is the most difficult part. Sometime I just sit and my computer thinking how I’m going to start the assignment. However, I figured out a way that makes this problem less apparent. It’s easier for me to start a paper when I’m at school than in my house. It’s easier for me to get distracted and side track while I’m at home but , when I’m in a working environment like a library or computer lab I tend to be more focus. Before I start writing, I like to have a quick meal. Writing on a empty stomach never work for me, especially if I’m going to be typing for a long period of time. After my meal, I grab my headphones and listen to my playlist on YouTube and start typing. If I am writing for a long period of time, I would take quick break and have a snack so, I can regain all my stamina back. When I’m not writing papers, I tend to write on forums and Reddit. Mostly forum games. In these forums I would have an online discussion with other users on a board about a certain games. On Reddit they have different much different type of “sub reddits.” I tend to go on the ones about my favorite shows (Game of Throne / West world.) On these sub-reddits, you along with many other fans could discuss an episode or write a review . I find writing to be a fun when you are talking about something that you normally enjoy. |
