Choi Yun/ My Attitude toward Writing / Tues 34

 

 

  I usually write in mainly two cases: when I am suffering from emotional distress and when I have a writing assignment. Except for these circumstances, I hardly write. First of all, I write when I have a great mental anguish. My mental anguish could be relationship, studies, course and all that sort of things. Writing in this circumstance works as a compass to overcome my problem. It helps me to realistically analyze the situation and to chill out. For example, when I am burning with anger because of certain problem, writing allows me to take a step backward and objectively solve the problem. Thus, I like writing in rocky time which makes me rational. In addition, I write when I have a writing assignment. Writing in this situation is usually burdensome because not only it is challenging but also it is often regulated with many frames and limitations made by professor. Also, what I hate the most is that what I write becomes subject of appraisal. For these irritating reasons, I cannot enjoy and I even dislike doing writing assignments.

           Since I only write in those two cases, I lack writing experience. However, whenever I write I gets pretty high grade, which means I am quite a good writer. Although I am reluctant to write, I also think that I have a fair chance to be an excellent writer. That is because I read a lot so I have abundant knowledge which can be quality ingredients in writing. And also, I am logical.

However, to be a better writer and to fully enjoy writing, wide writing experiences are urgently needed to me. Through this course, I hope I could have great opportunities to write a lot and to be a better writer.
