Freewriting. Even though this is technically considered an assignment, I consider it fun. I love the fact that we are allowed to write about anything and everything we want for 300 words. Yes, sometimes it is difficult to think of things to say. But, that is the beauty of it: We just keep our fingers moving (due to the fact I partake in an online course) and our minds pumping. It's probably a cliche but I think of this activity as a warm-up for the big event. In sports, there are warm-ups and stretches, right? Writing for 300 words is also warming up. It warms up the creativity to prepare for the big event. The big event may be in the form of essay writing, reading, etc, but the point is that it gets our minds moving and ready to go. Some days are better than others. We are all busy with school or work or a combination of the two plus some more but I think, also, this activity is a a form of release. It is like a journal entry. We can express personal things going on in life or just discuss something to get it off of our chest. That seems to be very helpful. Ridding stressors or at least talking about them is good for any situation. It is especially good when I am about to complete a task that involves a lot of focus and attention to detail.
Point being, I love this assignment and to be honest, I am kind of disappointed that it will be ending next week. Although, just because my instructor won't be requiring this assignment anymore, does not mean I can't be accountable for it on my own. Since this is truly a helpful exercise, I just might do something extra for school. I just might.
