Why I Write

In this weeks reading Joan describes her writing background in writing. In the first few paragraphs, she said that she use to have a hard time focusing on what she was reading and writing and focusing on the more tangible things. I can relate to this because when I am either reading or writing I get easily distracted by things such as facebook or television. It is easy for me to stop writing and go on facebook chat, I find it more interesting and more fun, but writing is what is important. She continues on to talk about how she graduated and what she had to go through to get there. I took this story as a way of perceiving and staying focused on what's important in life than finding the easy way out.
