What I think about writing

I really enjoyed this paper, because the thought was not made for me. I was able to choose my idea for a paper, and because I found my idea interesting, writing was interesting. I have always enjoyed writing, even though I am not very good at it. I have always believe writing helps me release stress, built up feelings, kinda like listening to music. Music is a passion, even though I can't sing, I sure give it a turn. Almost all of my family draw extremely well, play the guitar and do well in business. So I have a very unique and creative family which I have passed along to my children. My son wants to be a journalist and is attenting college to become a game maker and journalist. And my daughter although disabled with the use of only one hand, and she made a mask and sold it to a famous artist for 50 dollars. Cool isn't it. I don't care much for APA formatting. I would be the type of writer who would write it all down and hire an editor lol. So that is probably the only thing that stressed me out during the writing process.

English Comp Unit 8

I like blogging, just don't have alot of time to blog. And don't really know where to go in this blogger to see if anyone has blogged me back. So if anyone would like to tell me the route to travel to find this info out, would appreciate it. Is there a message board like myspace or facebook that I can go to/or do I just look on the dashboard for responses or comments on my blog? Help

For those who lived through the 80s :)

Not real crazy about them:(

I am a get to the point kinda of gal, and I have to be very careful about how I word things. Sometimes to many words are just overated. When I was younger I had issues with this, but as I have gotten older, I am more aware and work very hard to "watch how I say things." I am good at speeches now, but not real crazy about peer reviews, especially on discussion boards. The thing about peer reviews on a computer is their are so many different types of people that we have to interact with that are basically strangers. So even though you are doing an assignment, you know that these people are really working hard to do good, and some people have a hard time with peers telling them something doesn't look right. I am the opposite though, I want someone to get straight to the point and tell me what is wrong so I can fix it. I look at it as another learning tool, to help me reach my goals. So I guess, I like peer reviews when they are reviewing me, but don't want to give a peer review for fear of offending someone.

Frustrated!!!!!!

Had to blog and maybe get some frustrations out...... My other class is just bringing me down..... I read it, get it, and then I get a B or C on a test, perfection is expected and I am not a perfectionist. I hope it is okay to blog about stuff like this, because it helps me to get my frustration out. I like things organized, but I know I am human, so I gave up on being a perfectionist. Maybe that is wrong!!!!! I don't know. I don't like test. Test take words and jumble them up ( and I know it is so that you think about it) but I do think about it and it confuses me. I want to be tested on what I learn to see if I got it, not to see if I can put 10 things together and then get it. I am doing good to just learn how each one thing works, not 10 of them put together. Thats for someone who is experienced in their field. Oh well I feel better now!!!! I am not going to give up though, gotta keep trying to get it. :)

My Education

This is my friend Mandi and the face she is making is pretty much explains my academic challenges. Oh Yeah! But I made it to the honors list, so guess I'm doing something right..... until another term.....lol. When I first start the process of writing a paper, I go for the information and find what I think is most interesting. Then I read through that information, writing down what is most important and interesting. After I occomplish all of that, I outline what I have written into my own words and of course shorten it a bit, because I am one of those people that write down everything. Then I look at each outline from each pc of info and compare and contrast. This is how I combine all the information together. And Whala! I have a either a piece of art or not....lol

"Just Write No"


This video describes pretty much how would feel if someone stole my work. I mean to be creative means to come from your own thoughts, your ideas, and amagination. Right! I started writing a book at one point in my life. I was about into 4 chapters of this book, when my dad wanted to read it. He was computer iliterate so after reading the beginnings of my book he hit the wrong button and all was gone. But during this writing process I put my whole soul into those four chapters and when it was gone....well you can guess how I felt. So through that experience I believe I would have that same feeling if someone took credit for the work that I had done.

I wanted to write something about how bodybuilding makes for great physical appearance, and yet both men and women find thereselves with mutiple mental issues during the bodybuilding process. I really wanted to write about bodybuilding and if you don't breath properly during exercise would this cause mental issues, but could not find info on this subject so gave up...
