Wednesdays are my busiest days of the week. They make me look forward to Thursday though, which then tells me it is almost Friday. I start my day with a Philosophy lab, which I would like to bring into this blog during our free write blog days. Then there is my evil math class which make the day go by so much slower. Finally I end off with my English class which makes an hour and fifty minutes fly right by.
Today we discussed the two pieces that we read over the week. The first one “Lucky,” freaked me the heck out. I did not like the subject matter, but looking at it from a literature standpoint it did not miss a beat. It brought the reader right in to experience the fear and pain of the author. The second was much more relaxing, giving an over exaggerated life of a male college student who seems to be having some sort of medical problem. Though it was a much easier read than the first, it left me wanting to know more about what happened to the character.
Through out the rest of the class period we discussed ways of writing and what we can try to do to stay focused. I personally write best in the mornings with a cup of tea or coffee, while listening to music, preferably Avenged Seven Fold. I find that I do not write the best in large open areas, I may think better, but I like to write at my desk or at a table confined in a not overly large room. It doesn’t matter who is around me because I am usually plugged into an MP3 or I get so into what I am writing that everything else just disappears.
Originally I was just going to do a “free write” for this blog, but I decided not to. I wasn’t in the mood, so I hope you all enjoy this piece and I hope to write something a little more interesting next time. Have a great weekend everyone!
I do the same thing while I'm writing. I have my music playing, and I get so focused on what I'm doing that I'm completely oblivious to the rest of the world. It's really a nice escape sometimes, especially when you have busy days like Wednesday. My Monday and Wednesday are like yours. I start off with PT at 6:30am, Archaeology at 9:00am, Communication at 10:00am, and lastly, English with you at 4:00pm! (: You're lucky you have a nice Thursday, though. Mine is packed full with AFROTC, but I love it. Thanks for the comment by the way! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteOne, I want to say, Paul Dicken, that your name is awesome. I am really surprised that you can focus when you write while listening to Avenged Sevenfold. That takes skill. You're on the same wavelength with me with the coffee and tea, though (That rhymed). And I agree, big, open areas are hard to write in for some reason. It's like, you need privacy to write, even though nobody's there.
