To me, writing is neither tedious nor fun. In fact, I find the actual process to be banal. However, the end result seems to outweigh the actual effort, and it is this insight alone that influences my perception of it. People put forth an strenuous amount of work to achieve perfection in the form of words. Whether the ultimate goal is to persuade, inform, or merely entertain, writers of all backround seek it. It is this perfection that permeates and instigates great writing for me. Witnessing countless works of art and seeing first hand how a great piece of writing can influence decisions, I have discovered that I want my writing to be analogous. For this to be plausible, though, I must first develop a good work ethic in terms of the writing process. As of now, my writing process is neutral. I tend to write nonchalantly without any interest or care in mind. My revision consists of a quick read over along with a few word changes, and the only thing that I seem to be remotely natural at is vocabulary. But that's just because I was drilled like a marine on it. In terms of my actual writing time, I tend to write quickly. This might hinder me in the end, but like I said in the beginning, I find the writing process banal. So, in order for my writing to improve, I believe I need to form a habit of slowing down. Not only would this improve the actual thoughts that I have to say, but it would most likely improve the tinier aspects of my writing such as syntax and structure. In the end, my writing needs experience and from this blogging, that is exactly what I plan to receive.
