Writing is an important part of my life. I use writing as a way to talk about things I could never really say out loud. I depend on writing. I use it all sorts of ways. I have a personal blog - tumblr, a facebook, I email, write letters, free write, and write papers.
In terms of academic writing, I hate getting started. I will avoid a paper until the last minute. But, I usually end up regretting that decision. Because once I get started, I could write forever. So, I need to work on my decision to write last minute and instead start writing ahead of time. Another weakness I have in academic writing is the research portion. I hate having to cite sources and things of that nature.
Reading definitely goes hand in hand with writing. I read all sorts of different genres. However, my favorite books are written by Jodi Picoult. She writes about current, controversial issues. I feel she has influenced me to write about topics close to my heart that are also controversial.
For this class, I want to research all sorts of topics. However, I have three topics in mind and it's going to be a hard decision. I will either research bullying, self-injury, or abusive relationships. All three of these are broad topics as of now, but when I make my decision, I will go into more detail. All three topics are close to me, so it is a hard decision. I am leaning towards bullying because it will help with my elementary education major. However, I would like to research the other two in more detail as well. When I make my decision, I will go about my research by creating interviews, doing library research, and hopefully finding someone who can help me with video recording and editing.
