Summary
I want to write in a way that feels like art.
I am trying to write more as an avenue to be more creative and to learn and reflect on topics that I normally would not think about. This includes reflecting on My Relationships which can often times be uncomfortable. I typically really enjoy writing if its in an analytical way and not forced upon me by Structured Education.
I really enjoyed writing essays about Shakespeare in high school since coming up with some thesis and searching for largely irrelevant evidence to support this thesis felt like a puzzle to me. I also liked learning new words that I could use to increase my Concision.
These days the majority of my writing is Technical Documentation, my class notes, or through my Obsidian notes, rather than in the humanities. Oh well, hopefully I’ll return to it at some point.
Consistency
I am trying to make myself write for 30 minutes everyday as a TickTick habit but sometimes its hard to come up with things to write about but the longer I sit down, the more ideas I come up with. I need to get better at returning to old notes instead of generating new ones.
Consistency is king.
I am working on a Spotify playlist to help with my writing.
Style
One very impressive thing about professors is their ability to write. Maybe this was developed over years of writing papers. Epilogues of textbooks and professor exerts are always very beautifully written. This is a style I would love to adopt. See Waterloo Culture.
