Writing lesson #1 - Free Writing

This is my first piece of writing for this classs. I am supposed to keep my fingers typing away without stopping for 5 minutes. It's hard for me to continue typing my thoughts. What I'm thinking about, I need to write down. I take this class to improve my writing skill. For a long time I contemplate about writing. In high school I was afraid of taking a creative writing class. I signed up for the course, but then I cancelled it. The thought of struggling to come up with ideas to write scared me away. Although I know deep down I really like to write. It doesn't matter what I write about, but I know that by writing clearly, I'd be able to put down my thoughts in a logically way, and my ideas can be expressed on paper or in words. I would like to convey my thoughts to others , and the only way to do that is to write well so others can understand your point. Getting your point across in your writing is important. I like the ideas of being able to write well. I practiced a few times, but then I stopped keeping a journal. I ocassional write a few pieces but I tucked it away somewhere in my stack of papers. Many times I would run across some old papers that I wrote for an English class in college, I giggled to myself for having such creative thoughts in my writings at the time in college. I believe the fact that to be a good writer you want to keep writing and write alot, and that's why I'm not writing that good because I often stop in the middle of a progress plan. This time I am taking this writing course and form a base for my energetic self to propel ahead like a rocket, and keep me from losing steam in the journey ahead. This is my free writing piece. Thank you for reading.
