I've never been confident in my writing ability, mostly due to the fact that I can never seem to keep a stream of consciousness, so instead I just string together sentences and hope it comes out sounding like one idea. But I guess that's why I find myself in this class. This counts for one of my required Gen Ed classes, so thats a large chunk of my motivation for joining it. Then, there's the weighing between the importance of writing vs the importance of being able to draw/sculpt/paint. So, I instinctively chose the writing route.

I hope to largely take a comedic approach to this class if I can (not to say that I won't take the assignments seriously). One of the things that I've always aspired to do is stand-up comedy, and the foundation of that is the ability to write well, so hopefully this class will help me build that up.

I guess this will all be very interesting. Interesting to see what my classmates are capable of and what I'm capable of.
