My Writing Journey

Keeping myself on track is really hard, especially when I enjoy sleeping in. However, I managed to wake myself early in the morning and work on the documentary project. Usually after class, I tend to go back to sleep. But, when watching this documentary, I couldn't go back to sleep. This documentary made me think about a lot of things and it put me through an unexplained emotional stage. Blogging and talking about the documentary was really hard because it had such hard material, so when it came to writing the paper, it took time and I was writing bits and pieces of it.

Something I learned about myself was that I can get things done if something interests me. However, I have a really hard time explaining things, in this case, the documentary summary. I always have the tendency to write every single detail, either it be a small or a big detail. Another thing that I learned about myself is that I am not that confident when it comes to citing sources. I always question websites that try to help.

Knowing this about myself, something I can do to better my writing is to just keep writing and revise a lot of my work. I would also have to try something different when it comes to writing. What I mean by this is, if I see that I'm having a hard time writing, I need to get up and walk away for a bit and then get back to it. In my profession, I am hoping to work with kids in abusive homes, and I'm going to need to be able to take breaks. I'm going to need to learn how to deal with some stuff that might take an emotional toll on me.
