Well...I suppose depending on the topic, it can be either a chore or strenuous, at least for me. I suppose I have not found any instances where writing has been pleasurable, that I felt like something HAD to be said. I've noticed that that topics are rarely set in stone and the bigger topics let the student decide. Of course there is a general direction or theme present that guides the writing that is usually relevant to the course. I try to stay relevant within my topics so I try to look for current topics that have generated a buzz within the media. I did enjoy my script writing course, but even that class become trying for me. I REALLY REALLY wanted to make myself a better writer by taking this compositional class and scriptwriting course, but I feel that writing isn't something that I would go out of my way to specialize in. I find this unfortunate because I was hoping to get more proficient in the art so I could set myself up better within my career. While I don't plan on becoming a writer within the television or film industry, I plan on eventually becoming a producer. This is not entirely problematic but it would benefit me to understand how to elucidate my ideas onto paper, so that I can then translate it to film or video. But I digress.
I DO enjoy the classes that I take, but I find the task EXTREMELY difficult to partake, as writing forces me to form my thoughts structurally. I know this is a skill that can help me in multiple aspects of communication, but I often see myself as someone who reacts spontaneously, who adapts to the situation at hand. I suppose that even if I do poorly in this class, I see it as a semi-forced way to get me to practice my writing technique. I just pray that it doesn't end up becoming a liability as I force these last blog entries.
