Writing Process
There is a serious distraction in writing as a college student for me. Everyone has their own distraction though. I think for me it is the anxiety that my paper could be poorly evaluated by a professor. It is pretty hard to think about writing an essay without that vivid idea that coming up in my mind. However, it is more painful to submit an essay for me without knowing which grade will I get this essay. Like for others, always getting evaluated by readers is horrifying. It is because this essay can be perfect for my criteria but it cannot be for others, and it is worse if the person examining my essay is a superior person to me or my grade depends on this essay. However, I believe there are not completely perfect writers from the first place, so I personally think anyone can be a better writer by trying harder to get over their own hardships. For me, it is obviously fearing others’ examination of me. Therefore, I try my best not to be obsessive with the result and to concentrate on process of becoming great writer. Even though I do my best, not all the results can be great, and also all the great figures have adversities and hardships. Edison tried a few thousand times for suitable material for the light bulb’s filament. Michael Jordan, the king of basketball who everyone knows, was even evaluated as a player who could not be a great. The Beatles, the band who enabled modern music to exist, was even a band who used to play at a small club. Like all these people did, I will devote my time and effort to improve my writing. I have to demonstrate more concentrations in writing. Being easily distracted is the most serious problem for me. If there is a sound or my friend tries to talk to me, I easily get distracted. To write good essays, like a smith smelting irons, re-writing and re-reading same essay over and over are required. In good writing or good novel, there are always good flow and a good choice of vocabulary in context. In my essay, however, there are uncountable grammar errors or wrong words usage. To fix this I have to memorize more vocabulary and read more books. Also, good writers have a skill of conveying his or her words precisely with simple words, but in my case, sentences are too long. I have a desire that all the people sympathize with me about what I know. Therefore, I attempt to write as much as I can, and it makes get too long, so it bores readers. To become a better writer, I have to get a very unique aspect so I can see things different from normal people. For example, Author Bernard Werber wrote a novel from the point of view of an ant and it was very interesting noble to me in terms of that it describes every story through ants’ point. Lastly, great writers always imitate other great writers artwork. This does not mean I am going to plagiarize other essays or papers. However, I am going to read other good writers’ works and then imitate their style of writings. Like for a great Argentine soccer player Messi, Maradona was a hero. I have to learn great writing skills from greater writing materials than my writing works. I have learned that making our lives better is everybody’s duty. For that, people who set their ideal have to compete with themselves. I believe I can write better than my current level. Even right now, I am trying my best to do all the ideas that I suggested above. Perhaps the rocks that I throw to water for crossing current might be insufficient. Even though the first few rocks are swept by a strong current, those rocks that I throw will gradually build up. Likewise, I believe the rocks that I am throwing will be my bridge of the river blocking my way to UPENN, thus, I will keep throwing those heavy rocks and to make a bridge even though it seems absurd.
