Today I wrote about the Maybury VS Madison trial that we are reviewing in my communication law class. It was a 38 page case that I have been reading over and analyzing in my daily writing. We will be using this case and others as a referral throughout the course.

Thoughts and motivation

When reading about motivation and the need for clam and confidence I can’t disagree. I feel that I am definitely one who relies on waiting and relying on deadlines to be my source of motivation. It makes me curious as to what other alternatives I can turn to, to make my writing ‘mindful.’ I always had a hard time sharing my writing because I was afraid for someone to tell me what I wrote was wrong, or that I spelled something wrong, or that it was just a stupid topic. After reading about the need to be in the ideal state of motivation, I think to myself, “Ok I agree, if I can do that, writing could be my new love, but how do I get there? How do I get myself out of the mindset of it becoming a task or just another homework assignment?”
