I have a tendency to write only when this massive snowball of an idea hits me square in the head. The idea sends me reeling with shock but I quickly find pen and paper so I have the chance to put the concept on paper before it melts away. The idea comes alive when I put the pen to paper and can usually become a decent piece of writing; however, if the perfect idea doesn't come, then neither does the writing. I want to be able to write freely without the concern with producing the perfect polished piece. I hope that through this semester of writing an hour a week outside of class, my writing will transform and grow into great ideas rather than me waiting around for those brilliant ideas to hit me in the head.
I also want to be more open to sharing my writing. I have a tendency to write something and not allow anyone to read it. I need to be more comfortable with what I put on paper and be less fearful of what others think of my writing.
