I've never really been big into writing but i usually force myself to sit down and handle business. I've been writing probably since third grade but have always dreaded it. I think it was mostly because back in the day my teachers would have page requirements and i would just run dry and run out of things to fill the length requirement. When i got to high school i was worried about writing but a few good teachers help me think in a new light to make it simpler, they discouraged the length requirements which help my confidence in my papers. As of right now writing still isn't my favorite but I'm not as depressed about it as i used to be.
On the other hand i do enjoy reading whether it be a magazine or a good book. As of late i haven't picked any books but i did put a couple on my list to finish before the movies come out. My favorite thing to read though is comic strips. I pick up the paper every day and aside from the big headlines and sports scores i get down with the comic strips. My favorite one is definitely the boondocks, it's pretty witty and worth reading. This year i hope to put a little more effort into my papers and make them fun to write and interesting to read. Hopefully this class can help.
Fun to write and interesting to read sound like great goals to me!! I'll try to be sensitive about the pressure length requirements put on students--the idea is to pick subjects that you can collect up enough details about so that length isn't a problem.
