A BLOG FOR COLLEGE WRITING 42.101.261

August 31, 2010

Welcome

Welcome to the course blog for College Writing. Here we will share ideas and questions about our reading and discussions. To begin with, I would like everyone to write a brief entry on what role writing plays in your life. How do you write? When do you write? Is it ever something you enjoy, need, fear? Be open, be creative, be inquisitive.
Please write between 50 to 100 words. While this is meant to be an informal, personal reflection, remember the rules of grammar and logic still apply. You're welcome to post something wholly original or respond to something a classmate has written.

If you haven't yet, register for the site so that you can post.

Please complete this by Sunday, 9/5, noon (12 pm).

Sometimes writing something down on paper means a lot more than just saying something. For myself writing is a way to express something that I might not be able to say with words. In times of stress or sorrow, writing has always been a way for me to escape and find the better side of life. For me, writing plays a very important role, without it where would I be?

In my life, I very rarely find myself writing for any purpose other than for school related assignments. To me, writing isn't something I do for fun, but when it's necessary I find some joy in completing my assignment. I don't fear writing, but sometimes I dread essays and like many others my age I put them off until the last minute. The only times I have ever written outside of school related assignments were writing songs or rhymes for fun. I hope this class not only helps me become a better writer, but also helps me find more joy in the process.
