First Thoughts Journal

The First Thoughts Activity was something new for me this year. First of all I have to say that I am one of those persons that doesn’t like to write, I find it boring. Never the less I have to say that I really enjoyed doing this activity. Like I said it was something new for me and I really liked the activity, it gave a new perspective of what writing is. I use to see it as something that they made us do in school just to do work but this change my way of thinking a lot. This exercise made me even enjoy writing for the first in my life that wasn’t writing my music. It even made it fun and gave it a meaning for me. It was all because I felt free writing with that activity. To know that I didn’t have to worry about how I’m writing, my grammar and that I could write whatever I was feeling at that time was liberating. It helped me blow off some steam a lot of times and it helped me in daily situations. I really plan to keep doing this even though the assignment is over because it is a really positive way to get everything out of your system.

To be honest I didn’t have any problems doing this activity because even though I don’t like to write when I do I always kind of write what’s on my mind. So I don’t when I started doing this it was like continue doing what you were already doing but now I have a reason to do it and that’s why I liked the assignment so much. That is why I was so successful at carrying out this assignment. As for not caring about the grammar and everything of that nature I was relief because I’m not the best at that. This exercise even made me find more time in the day for doing more stuff which is a relief really.

As for me as a writer I don’t see this changing my view. I am not someone who will write books for someone else to read. I will always write for myself, the only person that reads my stuff other than me are the professors and that’s because it is an obligation. This is unless it is my music and even this I don’t show to just anyone I have to have confidence in the person. The only that I show my writing is that I become a singer and that is not likely to happen.
