I've always had a love/hate relationship with writing. While I love to read, (mostly fantasy, with some sci-fi mixed in) I can't stand writing, it's something I've always avoided when I've had the opportunity. It maybe the procrastinator in me but I've always disliked the process. I dread sitting down and starting a paper, which I can't put off, because I know the amount of time I will sink into it. In classes prior to this one I've spent more time reviewing my peers work than my own, because can't stand it when a papers poorly written, it eats at me, and I end up constantly doing revisions. I think that maybe why I hate creative writing and do so poorly at it, its contents can always be changed and improved upon, but research papers are very specific and deal with facts that once laid out properly, are done.
The first day of class was relaxed and enjoyable, hopefully a sign of what's to come. Something else I really like about the class is having access to a computer; I've always hated writing by hand. I expect to continue enjoying this class because we will be covering methods of writing that are more technical then they are creative. I can also see the importance of mastering these methods of communication and how useful they will be in the professional world. I've always done poorly in Creative Writing classes, but since the styles of writing this class will be covering are fact based, I should do well. Straight and to the point is my favored style of writing, I expect this class will be more love than hate.
