My frustrations as I WRITE!!!


I am writing to explain how I feel about writing. When I write, I find it really hard to form words to extend something. When I know I have to right a paper I feel so pressured, then I wound up putting it off to the last minute. I feel as if I do a better job when I am pressured. Writing makes me confused; I am a person stuck in a wall, trying to break free. I feel like a person locked in a room with nothing in it bouncing back and forth trying to put something together.

It’s hard to explain how hard it is to try to form paragraph after paragraph. I always have so many thoughts in my head, its almost as if a person choosing to jump or not jump off a cliff. Writing for me is a gazelle running from a lion, and trying to make it out alive. It just keeps running and running until it’s in the clear. Sometimes it’s easy to get away and sometimes it’s hard. Writing is survival of the fittest. Once you start running, it’s hard to stop.

When I began to think about writing a paper, I panic and it feels like I am in solitary confinement. There are plenty of people to talk to, but I have nothing to say, my mind is trapped. I just draw a blank and began to try to think, someone could be talking to me, and I would even know what he or she was saying.  It’s really tough.

Writing is a gun trigger waiting to be pulled and once its puled it’s all over. Guns get right to the point, and keep things short and simple. I prefer to get right to the point. When it comes down to it, I just start rambling on, and as I ramble on, the thoughts just start falling into place and I began to realize its not so bad. Writing is a continues cycle to me, every time I have to write a paper, I go through the same process.

  1. I really liked all of your references and metaphors. I also compared my writing to a gun and billet type point of view. I feel your pain though that's for sure. Writing for me is all over the place, but when I get in a rhythm it sometimes looks and sounds good lol.

  2. I agree with the so many thoughts and bouncing off the walls. Kind of like ping pong. There is just too many thoughts sometime, but once you get started it hopefully will pan out.
