Academic Writing with Peter Thomas...
What is writing... A question that has never come across my mind, or free-writing for 5 minutes, both of which I did on Monday. I found the free-writing exercise extremely intriguing because as a dancer I am used to expressing my thoughts and emotions not through words....a struggle for most of us I think. Here is a picture of what I wrote during this exercise, to my surprise I managed to keep writing the entire time and really kept my editor turned off! I began by thinking quite literal of the physical act of putting pen to paper and that continued to let my mind wonder into connecting writing and performing, coming up with a poetic sentence of "adding colour to a blank canvas" Going into this course I was daunted of writing an essay again after so many years, and writing one properly but the process that Peter explained of Generate, Organise and Present really led me to a lightbulb moment of making writing make sense to me. A good thought as I head into writing...
