Why I write
Posted by Alex on 24 Nov, 2010 in Writers' Corner | 1 comment
Here is the first of several pieces of writing I have produced recently. The assignment was fairly simple, just to write down what draws you to writing and what you hope to get out of the course. It wasn’t too hard, and the word count felt about right – but it was a useful exercise to lay out why I write. Writing is something I have been increasingly drawn too over the last year and I thought this piece might be interesting to share to add context to my blogging.
I’ll add some comments to this and each of the pieces I publish regarding my reflections on it.
Obviously this was a fairly basic assignment, but I did learn a thing or two. I tried to have a strong finish but I think it may be a little twee. Also I’m not sure the subtitles worked well – though on the other hand, those three types of writing are fairly distinct. Even on this short assignment word length was still a challenge. They say that writing always improves with some obstacle or constraint – I can already see this is true.
