Writing.

\\In high school my teachers always praised my writing. They where always writing the best comments on my reports. I took a lot of pride in it, and was usually the last one to turn in a writing assignment because of the level of perfection it needed to be complete. It was a skill I was very proud of.

I haven't picked up a pen and seriously wrote since high school. It's been almost three years and not one of my thoughts have touched paper. I don't even feel like I know what I am doing anymore.

My first writing assignment in college, and I can't find a way to get started. I used to leave high school english classes unable to write because, I had to many ideas of how to portray my story in a satisfactory manner. When I received this paper assignment, I left unable to write because nothing would come to my head appropriately. My pen taps the paper, my hands rest on the keys, and nothing comes to mind. The blankness of my mind is beyond my control.

Maybe it's linked to this being a fictitious assignment, or maybe it's a lack of using my mind. I feel so lost. Why can I write here, but not write this paper?

Ok I will get this paper written. I will.

Off I go now...

Maybe.



The assignment:
Each student in the class was given a picture and told to write a fictional story about it. We could be from any point of view. She wants us to actually tell a story, not a descriptive essay of the picture. I think I got pretty lucky with my picture. A friend of mine ended up with one of two people engaged in what looked to be a sexual act... lol.

My picture is a woman standing in a garden with her eyes closed, and her arms down.
She is pushing a wheel barrow with a puppy inside the it. The puppy is a cream poodle looking dog.
