A Writer's Fears

So here I go again--writer's block. I suffer from it when I am assigned a paper of length. I am tired and I doubt my abilities to create a paper worthy of submitting to the professor. I suppose it is a combination of feelings such as: fatigue, inadequacy, home, family, and work. Juggling all these obligations has an affect on my creativity, or is this a poor excuse? I want to be able to write and not have issues. I wonder if this is what professional writers go through. I pray for wisdom and substance, not only for myself, but for my classmates. I enjoy this class; Professor Aggen makes it a good experience for me. I have learned something useful every week I have sat in for a lesson. I appreciate her patience and guidance. I will use the books that were recommended for this class to help me produce a well-thought out and sensible paper.

I am an advocate of promoting literacy. Although my subject is about immigration and education in America, literacy will always be something that I will refer to when I become an educator. I chose to write about these subjects because these are issues that I will encounter in my classroom. I want to explore and learn more about them; I also want to know what others think about these topics. Overcrowded classrooms, language barriers, bullying, and other problems will arise. How will I handle these issues? It remains to be seen, but I will continue to pray and seek guidance from those who are experienced.

  1. I also have a hard time figuring out what I want to write. Researching my topic has been overwhelming; there is so much information. Good luck with everything.

  2. Pam,
    Immigration and Education in America are good topics, but also they are enormous I had select as topic Education in America. Good luck selecting your topic and articles.

  3. I agree with the writers block! It is very hard to focus on such a big assignment with our busy lives. I have spent so much time already and will spend a lot more. Best wishes on the final weeks.
