Recommended: How do I assess myself about writing skills

For me, writing is frustrating. Many times I have trouble writing about anything. The main reason why I have so much trouble when writing, is because I don 't concentrate on my work enough. Even when I try my hardest to concentrate, my mind seems to wonder around to a different direction towards another thought. After that, I forget all about my work and just think about various things such as people, places, and different times I 've had in the past. For example, even while I 'm writing this small paragraph, my mind keeps on slipping into other thoughts. I dont know if this happens to lots of people, but this is one problem that I have trouble the most in. Maybe this is why I 'm a slow writer and don 't like to write. When …show more content…

However, the best time and the best atmosphere for me to write anything would be during late at night when everything seems pretty quiet around me. Another important thing to me when writing, is that I can not have any distractions near me or around me. Even the internet on my computer has to be disabled or else I would be tempted to surf online. • Writing is like expressing my feelings onto paper. I can write songs, poems, quotes, stories, letters, and just almost anything that you could think of. You can learn a great deal about a person by the way they write or just by the way they express certain words on paper. Writing can also be a part of your life. While reading one 's paper, you can find out about their culture, beliefs, education, and much more. Not only that, but you can also tell what that person has been going through in their life. It is like having your own history book except that the book is about you, and not on America or some other subject. • I write whatever I feel most comfortable with and also wherever my imagination can take me. Most of the time, I write short stories that have or had something to do with my own life. Either that, or I 'll most likely write about some topic that I have

    My mind eagerly involves itself by engulfing my surroundings and giving them some meaning. The office workers, too busy to pay attention to the life that surrounds them catch my eyes first. They seem to be apathetic robots, preprogrammed to start at one location and go to another. They pay little attention to any detail unless it has to do with them. I chuckle at the automated behavior of these robots.

  • 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.

  • What I Will Do To Be Successful In This Class

    899 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first step to being successful, no matter what you’re trying to succeed, is to recognize your weak points, your strengths, and your limits. I myself know that I have several, and when I say several, I mean several, weak points when it comes to writing papers. The first and most lethal to a student who wishes to be well, is procrastination. I will always put writing a paper off till the last minute. In fact, I’m doing it right now as I’m writing this. I’m already doing what I say I’m not supposed to be doing. You can probably tell that I’m off to a great start. The next on the list of things that will brutally murder a student who wishes to do well in a class are distractions. Of course there is a multitude of things that can distract you at any time, especially shiny objects, though I have found that I am most venerable to distractions that take the form of sounds when I am trying to write a paper. To counter this, I do something that kind-of contradicts itself, though that is the most important part of discovering your weaknesses. You have to do something about them, and get over them. That is what this paper is all about; getting over my problems and issues with writing so that I can become a better writer (and by reading this you might learn a thing or two yourself).

  • Persuasive Essay On Mindfulness

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    Stop what you are doing, clear your mind, and focus only on your breath. When your thoughts begin to wonder, refocus and bring them back to your breath. This seems like a simple task, but most of us struggle to clear our minds for more than a few moments. Today’s fast-paced and technology driven culture constantly bombards our senses and more importantly, our thoughts. Our thoughts are constantly commandeered by fantasies, anxieties, and worries. We spend most of our time reliving past events and pondering the future. We spend work days feeling resentful, wishing we were anywhere else. We sit through family dinners thinking about all the chores that need to be finished. We worry about attending the class reunion because we aren’t sure what everyone will think. We do all of these things rather than focus on the experiences happening right here and now. Most of us are aware of this behavior, and yet we do it anyway. We spend very little time in the present moment, not for lack of want

  • Freewriting Challenges

    In order to find theses good ideas around you; you must pay attention with all of your five senses. A notebook will help you keep track of all of your thoughts. These notes will keep a record if you are interested in examining more thoroughly. Freewriting is another great way to find subjects and ideas. You can start anywhere with freewriting and end anywhere. “The goal of freewriting is to generate ideas and information from within yourself by going around the part of your mind that doesn’t want or can’t think of anything to write” (Aaron 11). You just have to write. The words written will give your ideas, even if they are misspelled or off track. Typing with white invisible text or turning off your monitor can help you focus on your ideas if you struggle ignoring spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Aaron advises, “If you choose to write with the monitor on, concentrate on what you want to say, not how you’re saying it” (12). Focused freewriting is similar to freewriting, but instead you focus on a subject. It will help you expand on your specific subject without focusing on everything

  • Daydreaming Essay

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

        After all of my classes I usually spend the entire time driving home thinking about all of my assignments that need to be done. Thinking about all of these things stresses me out quite a bit, and by the time I get home, I can’t decide which assignment I want to do first. Usually at this point I go up to my room, lay on my bed, and spend the next ten minutes relaxing, and letting my mind wander. After I do this I can immediately decide on what I want to do first, and work more efficiently. For example, when I made it home last Thursday I was thinking about whether I wanted to do writing, biology, or my water planet course homework first. I spent ten minutes trying to decide,

  • Essay About Myself as a Writer

    501 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I sit down to write, I must do so in a clean, well-organized, and well-lit area. The space must be free from distractions, such as the television or radio, so that I am able to focus and gather my thoughts. I like to begin my writings similar to the way William Stafford says he starts, "To get started I will accept anything that occurs to me." Writing down any thought that will help support and provoke more thoughts and ideas. When my thoughts become cloudy, I like to rise from my seat and walk around speaking out ideas to myself. I find this practice helps to jumpstart my brain activity and clear my foggy mind.

    At the beginning of my mindfulness journey, I felt frustrated as I began to realize how much I struggled with being in the present. I could not focus and I struggled to make it five minutes of practice. In the first two weeks, mindfulness felt like a chore. As I sat down to practice I would feel defeated each time. I did not really understand the point of mindfulness as focusing on breathing felt meaningless to me. My mind would wander each time I tried to focus on breathing and I began to realize how hard it was to still and control my mind. I knew that I was supposed to feel more relaxed and connected with my mind and body, but after each practice I felt more frustrated with myself. In the beginning I began to realize
