Lesson 05.00- Intro to the Writing Process

    Writing as a whole is an activity that I have a true passion for. The different techniques and various structures that are included in every piece of written work have always intrigued me, and have influenced my writing to this day. Throughout history writing has been a form of communicating for almost every culture and ethnicity. Whether it is through symbols or actual words, humans have utilized that idea of writing since Adam and Eve. The various forms of writing are endless, and I am enticed by them all. I believe that a person has a true talent if they can write a book, or even get published in the newspaper. It is always interesting to compare works of different writers and observe their different techniques.

   I believe that it is incredibly difficult for someone to write impartially, considering that a writer's opinion on a subject tends to leak out, even unintentionally. For example, if a strongly conservative news reporter were to write an article regarding both of the candidate's different policies, it would be nearly impossible for the reporter to illustrating the democratic candidate in any sort of positive light. The reporter could subconciously jade the democratic candidate's policies, or leave out the policies that would make the candidate look good.

  It is highly difficult for a person to write on a topic that he/she feels strongly about without letting readers know his/her viewpoint on the subject. In almost every article/news story regarding sports or politics, you can decipher the writer's opinion pretty easily. Although it is not impossible to write impartially, it takes a very good writer to stay unbiased.
