In the article 6 Ways to Be a Hemingway-Level Productive Badass written by Drake Baer , the author is explaining how one of the greatest author use differents techniques to write by using standing desks, writing his thought on a paper first and how she was devoted by waking up every morning at 6 o’clock to write. Robin S. Sharma stated that “If we are paying attention to our lives, we'll recognise those defining moments. The challenge for so many of us is that we are so deep into daily distractions and 'being busy, busy' that we miss out on those moments and opportunities...” according to this statement, I’ve realize that as a college student, I tend to be distract every day by what is going on around me and because of that I don’t usually finish what I have to do on time and I think it’s common with most college students like me because we tend to procrastinate. The major distractions I face as a college student when I attempt to write a paper is that, my phone is always next to me because I use it as a dictionary. If my phone is next to me whenever I get a text messages or a notification I tend to look at it. My radio also tend to distract because instead of writing, I tend to stop and sing along to the song playing on the radio. When my girlfriend is around, I tend to be distracted by her because she want my full attention. I believe that I can become a better writer because I know that If I want something, I work very hard to get it and also to become a better writer I have to avoid a lot of distractions and here are the list of six steps I will use to avoid distractions and become a better writer.First,I have to decide and convince myself to avoid all kind of distractions that can stop me writing. Second, I have to always put my phone on silent to avoid the noises or sounds.Third, I have to be more concentrate on what I am doing not be looking at what is going on around me. Fourth, I have to have a planner to organise my daily activities. Fifth, I have to stop watching Tv when I have a writing assignment and finally, I have to manage my time to be productive. WHY I WRITE ? An author, always have a reason why he or she write. It can be to persuade, to inform and to enterntain. We usually don’t take the time to ask this question”Why I write” which is a question we should ask ourselves sometimes. Joan Didion ask this question “Why I Write” and she answer by saying.” I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. “ She describe in her writing how she was inspire about writing. Joan write to express herself, to write her thoughts down ,to tell a story and about society . As international student; writing is not always fun for me because of my language barrier. In life there's always a room of improvement and as for me there's room to improve my writing skills. The question here is why do I write. I write to improve my writing skills, to be able to communicate with others, to express myself, to learn. to explore the world and to tell a story. I am not a good writer but I like to improve myself everyday. I usually write when I want to text my friends, siblings, girlfriend and my family members almost everyday . As most college student would say I write because I'm require to write in order to be successful as a student. |
