Too Much Writing

I don't know why it has taken me so long but I am just realizing that there is really a lot of writing in this world. This semester it seems that every time I turn around there is another paper to write or another letter of intent or some application essay. But you know what, it is actually really good for me because I'm realizing that writing is a tool that I am going to be using the rest of my life. So I better get used to it and maybe even get a little better while I'm at it. Probably my favorite thing that I have written so far is my personal narrative. I liked it because I think it is something that I will actually continue to do.
Writing is an amazing tool that we can learn to use in order to communicate the ideas we want to. I am amazed at how much of an art it really is. There is so much you can do or change when you write in order to enhance ideas that you want to portray. "Finding my written voice"is quite the process.
One thing I used to not really understand is why I had to do so many drafts. I mean did it really make any difference. What I realize now is the fact that I would never perform  a piece on the cello without a lot of practice and a few practice performances before the final thing.
