Creative Writing Q & A 4

2. As a writer, I like stories that can keep me occupied for a good sum of time. Authors that run their books in a series are some of my favorite and I read their work probably 90% of the time. My second pick would be short stories. These tend to get right to the point but often are to quick to fully enjoy. As for the type of writing I like to write I'm tied between poetry and short stories. I find most poetry to be boring but its fun to write as it can be a very creative process. Short stories require more of a plot structure and are longer have to incorporate the main idea into the story while poetry can anounce it during the first line. Script writing is my least favorite as you can feel like your charcters aren't as developed as you would like but you'd have to write a significant amount to make sure the sole purpose of the next few lines wasn't just to develop a character. Out of school I don't write often. When I've finished my asignments I really like to day dream or plan out something.

3. One of my favored topics from the writing territories asignment was the sports/activities section. For topic I decided on swimming. One of the reasons I put this sport above all others is the means winning. You don't have to score a goal and you don't have to impress others, you just need to win the race. Swimming is a very internal sport. The environment or the conditions of winning don't really change and doing well depends on yourself rather then the other team. The key to the sport is consistency and optimism. You need to be consistent in practice attendance, swimming technique, sleeping habbits, and nutrition. You need to be optimistic for what I believe is the most important part of being a great swimmer. The mental aspect of swimming is the most important part of being a great swimmer. Only when you set goals rehearse your best swims before hand and are motivated to work hard and do your best will you be able to climb over your mental barrier and do well in a race.
