Title
Oh my, I have yet to think of a title for Scrivener's paper. He specifically drilled into our heads that we had to have a title and subtitle. I can come up with a few that aren't that amazing, but none have really had that zing I'm looking for. Scrivener asked us in class on tuesday why we needed to have a title, and I couldn't help but smile a little because his question reminded me of one of his earlier posts about the previous paper. Oh well, hopefully inspiration will hit me like a truck.
School has been moving. Its seems like it has been a couple of days since school actually started, but I guess time moves slower when you are bored, because its only monday. Unfortunately, on a completely unrelated topic, I left my earbuds at home and am currently headphone less. My iPod is screaming abuse, and my ears have to listen to idle chatter on the stinger and the terrible traffic on North Avenue.
Man, I just had an idea. I wish I could write my papers like I write my blogs. I guess what I'm saying is that blogging is fun, and that I am learning different writing styles and gaining new ideas from other bloggers. I really can't thank Scrivener enough. His blog really helped me to get motivated. Last semester I had Jonathan Goodwin, and I found his blog. To me it seemed very heavily geared towards academics. The difference between Scrivener's and Prof. Goodwin's blogs are that Scrivener seems to have a certain element of normality. He does after all have a family.
Whew, that was a long period of just me rambling, more than likely caused by the fact that it is 2 in the morning and I have an 8 o'clock. Oh well. Goodnight and Goodluck.

"I guess what I'm saying is that blogging is fun, and that I am learning different writing styles and gaining new ideas from other bloggers." You have no idea how happy reading that sentence makes me! Finding some joy in blogging, in writing, can be a step toward writing much better formal essays too. As you recognize, there are different styles, and you'll need to learn to write formally more effectively, but a major step forward to being a better writer is recognizing the worth and the challenge of writing to begin with.
