Chore-Less Writing

By Jonathan Lallement on November 29, 2020

Chore-less Writing hear they have a paper to do? Why is it that a hobby can be hated so universally inside of a school? Easy answer is that schools kill fun but to be more precise, the education system creates a hatred of writing by adding tedious and pointless papers. I am sorry to every school system but I have never and will never get into the argument as of why pens are better than pencils. 

Why do schools do this? I assume to make it difficult and so we push ourselves while also to beat fair. I mean not everyone will have fun so why not make sure no one can have fun! 

So how do you have fun while writing? You can start by writing for any reason besides “I have to”. Writing because you want to just like anything else will make you better when you have to. Same goes for sports. The people who love to practice are often the best players on the field or court. That does not change when it is a more artistic hobby or profession. Once you are past the mental block of writing, words can pour in and to add to your arsenal you should start using rules that school teaches you to your essay. I ignored those to help further my point,but add transitions they are your friend as long as you keep a flow in the essay. Another thing to avoid that I have certainly embraced is to avoid terms like you or I which while they help solidify great points in a topic like mine, most writing will be persuasive, which those words may show bias, or informative where people should be focusing on your data not your opinion.

 Writing is a tool that can be sharpened but do not let it become a chore! If you do not have a class that will let you have fun and learn with a skill like writing then do it on your own because writing helps you understand so much of life and your own emotions.
