Blog Post 5
One of or assignments this week was to read "Two Questions" by Barry and do a visual Double entry. I liked this assignment; I could really relate to it. I often question myslef while I'm writting. I always worry about if what im saying is interesting enough, or is it too personal and people will judge me because i say certain things. I question myself so much that its very difficult for me to write, its like writing is a burden to me. I think that a lot of people think the same thing also. I really enjoyed reading this.

Lottie, I can really relate to what you're saying here. I too often question myself when it comes to my writing. I always get nervous when somebody reads something that I have written because it is often something personal to me. But I think that I have learned something after reading "Two Questions, and that is that it's okay to write just for the fun of it and I shouldn't have to worry about what others' will think of me. It's not about the judgements that people can make of you, it's about self expression, being who you truly are, and putting down on paper what you really think. I enjoyed your post Lottie!
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with the feeling talked about in this piece, and I agree with you about how many people share this feeling sometimes. When I'm finding myself having trouble writing something I try to not question myself as much and not worry about who I'm writing the assignment for.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you wrote about this because i feel like i have been thinking of this a lot lately, walking across campus i feel like people are staring at me when i start to sing out loud but i remember the 2 questions and i think why do i even care its my life and i can live the way i want to whether they want me to or not. thank you for some encouragement lottie i look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteAwww Lottie, I think we are all in the same boat when it comes to being scared that we are being judged by others, and continently holding ourselves back because we are threaten by that judgement. At the end of the day there is always going to be someone that judges you but you have to beside if you are going to give them the power by caring what they think. I can relate to you in a lot of ways cause I feel the same way a lot of the times. Thanks for sharing... great post :))
ReplyDeleteHey Lottie! I agree completely with what you're saying! The whole time I was writing my literacy narrative I was thinking these same things...I think sometimes we've just got to put ourselves out there, and not let ourselves worry to much about what other people say. Thanks for posting; I really liked reading your perspective on this! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to point out the grammatical error "I often question myslef" in the second line. Anyways on to the real topic. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people feel like writing is a hassle because 90% of the writing we usually do is all forced on us.
ReplyDeleteHey Lottie!
ReplyDeleteI have the same feelings about writing. I always get nervous when I've told I have to share my writing because I almost never want anyone else to read it. I'm always worried that my writing is horrible and people are going to judge me for it. Expressing yourself to other people can be difficult when you aren't sure how they will react. I'm glad I have you to share my writing with though! haha
I do this, too. Especially when I am writing in a newer context that I am less familiar.
