Begining of Writing Philosophy

One type of writing that I do is writing in a online journal. For this type of writing there is no real approach that I use to start. I just write down everything that I thinking at that time until there is nothing left for me to write. While I am doing this I do not use templates at all. I just open up my mind and let everything flow out into the text.

The only other type of writing that I do is writing for school. For this type of writing I approach it in a different way. I first just think about the writing topic for awhile until I finally start to write it down. Sometimes if I have trouble thinking about what to write I will begin my writing process in a different way. This way is by writing down obscenities over and over again until I finally am able to come up with something to write. When I do this school writing I do try to use templates to make my writng better. The templates help my writing by organizing my thoughts better and overall just making my work easier to read and understand.

What Is Writing

The authors of "They Say I Say" believe writing is many things. But the most important thing they say about writing is that you need to focus on not just what your own opinion is but to also incorporate what other people could say about the topic also. In other words what the authors are saying is that by looking past your own beliefs and understanding others opinions then you will understand what writing is and possibly make your writing even better.

My opinion about writing however is completely different. I believe that writing is a process in which a writer can communicate with the world. Everything they write out they put there own soul into so therefore that piece of work is just theirs. This is what I believe writing truly is and that while you can look at others peoples points of view yours is the most important.
