I love the whole concept of using a blog in our class, and being put in these groups, and I feel that it has so far been a lot of fun, and also been a great tool and way of getting criticism, but sometimes I really do hate this damned thing. I dread it sometimes.....GAH.
Right now, I really can't think of anything to write about it. I feel like I need write something beautiful, thats going to garner excellent criticism and some bullshit like that. I feel to need to appeal to you guys, as if the only reason I'm writing an entry is to impress/entertain our tiny group.
This frustrates me because by doing so, i completely miss the point of this whole blog....but seriously, I'm sure you guys can relate at least a little bit. Sometimes it's so difficult to figure out something to write about, especially if you live a boring life like myself. It's like, come the end of the week, it's time to force some creative topic and put it on display for criticism YAY. There are times where I just don't want to do it at all, and I seriously get angry, no joke, it's funny to watch. I mutter random vulgarities and type something up.
This is actually so boring right now, I hate writing this post, I can tell you right now that what you're reading is unbelievably forced, it's torturous. At least i'm being honest.
I don't mean to seem so negative. I'll make this lighter by telling you guys I've had a great weekend so far! You want to know why? Well Tom, my computer, his hard drive was quite full, but I've freed up about 100 gigs of space on Tom. Tom's a lot happier now, I can tell, he's not as loud, and runs smoother.
Way to be Tom!

i love that fact that you name your computer, im not that creative, so my computer is named the computer.
ReplyDeletei know exactly how you feel, sometimes these blogs are inspired and i feel so good about what i wrote, im completely motivated to write another asap, but sometimes i just want to throw my computer(named computer) out the window. because i have no inspiration.
im rambling.
this was a down to earth piece that sums up they way we all feel, sometimes the creative juices are not flowing. or we have isu's and just don't want to do these, or make comments.
i think this is a cute piece, i can't really suggest anything, because i don't think you will be reworking this piece, but i liked it anyway
I know exactly how you feel. Especially because I can relate to "especially if you live a boring life like myself" lol.
ReplyDeleteI feel as though I have to write something interesting. Sometimes I miss the point that the things I write are supposed to help me grow as a writer and experiment with creativity, not to impress others.
Good post because its to the point and relatable.
I definitely think what you've written strikes a chord with all of us. very relatable, as rebecca pointed out.
ReplyDelete"I feel like I need write something beautiful, thats going to garner excellent criticism and some bullshit like that."
I felt relieved when you said this, because its how I feel. I think if we went through exercises that helped us not be so focused on "getting the marks" and just writing, and practicing, i think we'd all grow more as writers. thats the one downside to this course; you have to write to impress, to a certain extent. and in the real world, sometimes its the different angles that are the big sellers. i think you captured this essence in your piece.
