Week 4 Lab: Writers Block

For week 4 I decided to do a story lab versus a story. For the story lab i have decided to learn more about writers block. The article I read was Breaking Down Writers Block by and anonymous writer. The article was very open saying that all writers experience writers block in some form or fashion whether it is a writers still creating work but it just nit being quality, or a writer that can not create work at all. The author said some of the things that can cause writers block, and seeing these writers can look at these and try to avoid these 10 things. The author listed fear, distractions, procrastination, anxiety, self-doubt, fatigue, illness, perfectionism, pressure, depression. These are all key components to the onset of writers block. two of the ones that stuck out to me were self-doubt and perfectionism. These stuck out because i believe these would be the leading causes of writer block in my case.

All of the factors contributing to writer’s block that you listed are very important to be aware of when attempting to write. I agree that self doubt is a big factor.

Drew Fazzino Introduction

Hi all,           My name is Drew Fazzino, I am a Senior at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Mechanical Engineering. The coolest thing about my major is seeing how different systems work together and operate. Another cool thing about my major is making parts in CAD and generating tool paths to machine your own parts in a CNC. The best class I took last semester was Computer Integrated Manufacture because I learned different CAM platforms and how to generate your own tool paths to the parts you make in platforms such as solidworks. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the summer break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it gave me some great relative infield experience working with lead mecha...

Week 9 Reading: Mans Best Friend Betrayal

Image
There once was a middle-aged archery hunter named Scott. He and his wife Amy lived in Utah where they raised there very trustworthy Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever named Bell. Scott’s best friend Jimmy was the owner of a bow shop called nocked and ready. Scott and Jimmy would spend all their time together in that shop reminiscing on old stories or at the range where it was a constant competition. Scott brought bell everywhere with him whether it be the archery shop or shooting. With this Jimmy had grown very close to bell as well. Scott would go on very long hunts sometimes for a week or two weeks and needed someone to watch over bell when he was gone and when Amy was at work. So Jimmy being the good friend he was would just bring bell to his shop to hang out. During this time bell grew very close to jimmy and without Scott even noticing bell started to favor jimmy. Scott did not notice this until he came home from a hunt and Bell would not greet him and only stayed by Jimmy’s...
