Look Back on Writing

When looking back on the writing that I have done since the beginning of this class and all things written recently not for anyone else but myself my personal opinion on my writing is that it isn’t that great. I always tend to get crippling blows of writers block on my personal work and trouble expressing myself the way that I want to on both usually. Although the work for this class has come to me fairly easily so far but we’ll just have to see on future assignments. My outside writing consists of mostly poems and stories written in a song format about my life, past experiences and that sort of thing. When I write these pieces I will sit for hours trying to say what I want to but never can do it in one sitting. Later on I will read through them and remember what I was trying to say and try to write at least one more line for any one of the pieces if not anything else. For these out of school pieces they are written for nobody to read, just my own chronicle of work so I can say whatever I like. I always use a pen and a notebook because pen is permanent and it is so impersonal to write the things I do on the computer. Stuff on word documents look no different than any other word document because all the text is perfect, all the lines are straight, all the spelling is perfect, and there is no personality in it. The only thing it does have is the writer’s form of writing and words otherwise no difference. There is a reason for the way I write my pieces and how I write them as well.
