How Writing Freely Changes The Game

I have been participating in free writes in my writing class for several weeks. It adds creativity to the writing process and helps bring out ideas that you might not use in your regular writing. I decided to take part in a free write and this is what I came up with.

Writing. An art form filled with true beauty. There is always something that needs to be said regardless of what it may be. It takes time to get comfortable with one's voice. It takes time to create a piece of literature that will make an impact not just on the writer's life, but on the lives of others. Writing involves a process. A process that may come across differently depending on the writer. Writing involves time.

Time. It continues to move forward despite if you are ready or not. There is no way to stop the clock from ticking. Time will always move forward. It is irreversible. It is unstoppable. It is constantly changing. Writing and time correspond with one another. Time means everything to a writer. Making deadlines, submitting to an editor to proof, printing out thirty copies to edit your own changes. Writing is an art form that comes from a process. A process filled with time.

Every writer is different. Some are similar and some are different. The processes may be adapted and changed throughout years of experience. Writers are unique. Literature is everlasting.

There is no better feeling in the world than to be on a roll with your writing. Writer's block is serious. A pen that glides across the paper smoothly and constant clicking from the keyboard on a computer is music to a writer's ears. The writer needs to put in the work. The writer needs to establish a plan and continue with that plan through a process that will lead to a masterpiece.

Writing gives me comfort. Writing gives me a sense of belonging. Writing is my whole life. The art of writing makes me who I am. I lose myself in my work and create articles, short stories, poems, and ideas for novels that I want to share with the world. It is going to take time and hard work to get to where I want to go with my writing. I know this and I have to make sure I put my best foot forward to continue to improve as a writer.

Writing does not always come across as easy to others, but once you get in that flow you cannot stop. Each piece is different from the last. The process may be the same or change over time depending on your experiences.

I want to write. I need to write. I have that drive. I have the ideas that can turn into something extraordinary. I am determined to establish a career with writing. Writing brings me joy and makes me feel whole inside. I have various ideas that I need to share with the world. I write not only for myself, but for others. I write for those going through some of the same experiences as me. I write for those who might not want to speak up. I write because it is my everything.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
