Week 2 Thogg

This week in writing was quite brief and therefore enjoyable, its not that I don't like this class its just that its so long I often feel a bit over the type of work we do by the end of the two hours. We went over our PB1A exercises as well as dug deeper in to what we started to learn as we wrote them. As a few of my class mates pointed out, in this assignment we were to be as specific as possible, which proved to be a challenge at first but once the topic was selected the writing assignment became much easier and started to flow naturally. Person number two was correct that writing with first order thinking made this assignment much easier and once the words started they did not stop. Many of us also encountered our inner struggles such as not liking what we write and then proceeding to delete it, only to write the same sentence down by the end of this repetitive process. As classmate nine pointed out, some genres were quite easy to pin point and write out while others upon further inspection were much more complex than we had first anticipated. This leads not only to defining one genre being complex but also leads to many overlapping and seeming as though they are the same as another with the exception of a few subtle details. I found the writing process that guy used in the video very interesting; while he wanted to give himself the ability to have enough creative time he also pushed himself to meet dead lines in order to keep himself on track and strike a balance between creative and timely. This is something that I hope to be able to incorporate into my writing as it seems to be the perfect balance of pressure and creativity.
