For me writing is still not a pleasure, I do it because I have to do it for class. I think I do not enjoy it yet because I struggle to find good ideas and put them in a convincing manner on the paper. Even though I sometimes impress myself with some sentences and feel very satisfied once the work is finished I feel more constrained than free. I write too much for the person that is going to read me and worry too much about the comments instead of letting my mind flying away like a bird inspired by the beauty of the nature and the world.

For me
writing is like an immersion into the desert. I see the white pages like an
endless landscape of sand with sometimes a little plant coming out of it
bringing hope until I see another one. It is a long journey before finding an
oasis where I can possibly become the inspired writer for some seconds before
it fades away.
For me
writing is like a flight to an unknown destination. You never know where your
text is going to bring you. Sometimes it can bring you very far away and
sometimes you come back into your place finding yourself looking for
inspiration.
For me
writing is like a stranger with whom you have to get familiar to be able to
argue with. To trust him, to be confident are important things you have to
share with him.
For me
writing takes time.
This problem seems like it affects many of us. Most of us usually can't sit down and produce a masterpiece in an hour. Having an unwanted topic definitely doesn't help. One trick that has helped in the past is attempting to relate your topic to something you know or are interested in. That relations brings out your passion for that particular subject and helps the writing process flow a bit better. It will always take time, but the ideas come faster with practice.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you and I share the same feelings on writing, so I completely understand where you are coming from. Most of the time, I feel like I have good ideas but its hard for me to form them into sentences and find a way to put them on paper. Hopefully with more practice this will become somewhat less of a problem for us both!
ReplyDeleteYour detailed metaphor of the desert was interesting! I really enjoyed reading it. I completely agree with you too. Beginning a paper, you really do not no where to start and how to begin. Once you begin, you might write something you really did not expect to be that good, giving you hope for the entire paper. I liked how you used the metaphor of the desert to explain that issue. In the future, I plan on writing outlines to help get my ideas flowing so I can have an idea of where I want to start and what I want to say. I have not really written outlines in the past, but rather sat down, wrote the paper, and turned it in. But outlines can help you map out your thoughts into more precise ideas of what you want to say. Thanks you sharing that metaphor!
