Isaac Kingston Period 3
I feel that this relates very well to me with writing and also programming. Once you start writing then you keep writing until you hit a block or a wall. What I usually do is go play some video games or go outside and run. A lot of people just tell me to keep writing or programming and you will eventually get through the wall, but whenever i do that i feel that i just sit at the computer and stare never coming up with something. I also have the same fear that if I start writing then some of my deepest thoughts that i have kept hidden for years will come out. I also have another fear of people reading my papers and hating them because i feel that i put my heart and my soul into every single paper I write especially the journals that we write at the start of class because i just start writing and let my mind flow wherever it wants to. If you try your hardest and someone just comes up and tells you it sucks then it also makes you feel bad.
