COLLAGE WRITING--FOLLOW YOUR HEART


I do not like pressure especially when I am writing. It makes me feel like I can not write down the ideas that I really have, but instead I have to write something that fit the request. Therefore, I chose those characteristics of myself below to reflect my style of writing.

——“I like journal, not assignment!”
——“I never write my diary everyday because once it becomes a ‘work’, then it may lost it’s own meaning.”
——"I like writing fiction."
I like writing journal instead of essays that assigned by teachers. After a busy week;one thing I want to do the most is to sit in my own room, and write my diary. I may write down all the interesting things that happened that week, but moreover feelings are the most important thing in my diaries. Sad, angry, or excited; I can always find a piece of paper to express myself. I love that part of time when I wrote down those words from my heart. I may be emotional at first, but after I push all of the feelings into my diaries I would start thinking of things rationally, and that really helped me a lot on how to deal with the troubles in my life. By the way, I also like writing fiction. In the fiction, I can creat whatever I want, and image how my life would gonna be if I live in a world like that. Fictions are interesting, and I regard my fictions as a part of me which have never existed.

However,I never write diaries everyday; it is because diary is not like something I have to finish on the to-do list; it is just a way to relieve myself, so I do not want it to became another kind of pressure in my life. As for essays,I do not like them much because students must follow the exact steps as teachers assigned which are non-creative,and have many limitations. 


——“Paper>Computer>Ipad”
Because of the development in technology computer became one of the most important ways of writing. On the contrary, I do not enjoy writing on those high-technology at all. I like the feeling when a beautiful pen was held in my hand, and with the movements among my fingers hundreds of lines were produced. Furthermore, the tradition of writing has already appeared for thousands of years; I like all the old and beautiful things; just like the texture of paper, and the black shadows lie under the pen.


——“I like writing in my own room.”
——“My writing process has a lot of revisions.”
I prefer to stay alone while I am writing because in a quite environment I can concentrate better. However, that is also the problem in my writing. I always have too much revisions through the process, and I think revisions cost me more than a half time on thinking and hesitation instead of writing, so in the next year I will they my best to solve it to make the process more smoothly.


——“Just like talking with an old friend.”
——“Feeling—the reflection of my inner world.”
Like I have mentioned above that I love journals, and sometimes I even regard journal as one of my best friends. When I look back to those pages that I have written, it feels like an old friend was telling me hundreds of stories about myself. Diary can “listen” to me, and I can also find the past from it. Every time I open my diary, I am actually get into the world in my mind.
