Way back in week one I asked you folks to discuss a paper you had written for a previous class and your writing process. Now, in week eleven, I'd like to hear about your writing process again. Has your writing process changed since we started this course? If so, how? Did any particular assignments give you trouble (both in terms of the type of assignment and how it might have conflicted with your specific writing process)? Were any assignments unexpectedly easy? And now, the million dollar (somewhat philosophical) question: Why do you write (aside from it's a requirement of this class and higher education in general)? What role does writing play in your life? What role do you think writing will play in your future (in terms of a career, family, etc.)?

My writing process really hasn't changed much I still procrastinate and it takes what feels like years to get one idea from my head into words on paper. No assignment really gave me any trouble, I enjoyed the first one for the most part, the annotated bibliography wasn't really hard just tedious and time consuming. When I was younger I used to write all the time. I wrote poems (not very good ones) I felt it was a release of anything I was feeling. However, as I became a more serious visual artist I left writing behind and never really looked back. I never really had a passion for writing but every once and a while I feel the urge to tell a story. I actually wrote a graphic novel for one of my classes last semester.In the future I probably wont find myself sitting at a desk writing the next big novel but probably sitting at the dinner table with my kid helping them write. Since I am interested in tattooing as a profession I probably wont write a lot. However, if I become an art teacher I might write more. I lost the love I had for writing when I was younger through school and being forced to write papers on awful topics such as how a layout of a mall can convey spiritual meaning BORING!
