My Writing Challenges (Week 2)
Even the best of writers have their challenges. Writing isn't always easy. Everyone has some challenges when it comes to writing, whether they like to admit it or not and that's not a bad thing. I've been writing every since I was a teeny-tiny kid, but I still have my own challenges. My personal challenges when it comes to writing is writers block and being too much of a perfectionist. I think a lot of people have a problem with writers block but, being too much of a perfectionist doesn't seem like a challenge to some. To me if my writing doesn't sound 100% perfect I can't continue to write until it sounds really good or I can't even show people my writing at all until its perfect. Hopefully one day I can get over the "being too much of perfectionist" thing, but I really don't see that happening, and I actually don't mind it continuing.

I agree that many of us struggle with writers blog. That is my main struggle as well. Although i feel its okay for you to be a bit of a perfectionist because it brings out your creativity and thats something that many people deal with. For example, an auother can be a perfectionist when it comes to writing becuase it is their passion. You should embrace your perfect creativity.

ReplyDeleteJanay, written expression can be difficult for many, so I am glad that you enjoy it. I think you might be a little hard on yourself but we do that sometimes to ourselves. On the other hand, often times, the mistakes we make help us to evaluate what we really mean to say. Keep writing and challenging yourself to new experiences. Who knows, may be some day I will see one of your works published!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that writing can be hard for students and adults. I think there are a whole bunch of people out there who have the exact same problem as you. Your attitude is very good that you try to be perfect at the work which you're doing, it's something which a college or your boss later at your job requires. But be carefully in being a Perfectionist, it can be very dangerous for yourself because you start saying to yourself that your work which you're doing isn't enough.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Janay when she says "Everyone has some challenges when it comes to writing". I myself, like every other writer has their own challenges I struggle with getting a good flow in my head, since i can remember I would sit at my desk for the longest amount of time just staring at my essay and with just the last 10-20 minutes i somehow managed to finish the test.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because honestly if Ms. Quaid were to have said we could only post blogs but we would have to write the 20 comments on a piece of paper I wouldn't be so sure on if I would even have done it. plenty of us aren't lazy but were just don't spend time on something we think takes to much time. being a perfectionist isn't a bad thing, it helps you get that motivation in yourself knowing you'll do well.
