John Wayne Love Song

Didion learned many things about what it means to be a man or woman from watching many John Wayne movies and actually meeting him in person. She believed that a man was tough, grizzly, and protective of women. She saw him as the perfect man and actually wanted to marry a man just like him. She also believes that to be a man you must be romantic slightly, and she wanted a man to take her to that same bend in the river where the cottonwoods grow and build her a house. She believed that women should facilitate their man, and make sure they are happy. 

There have been a lot of people that I have seen on the big screen, or on television that have impacted my life. The one person that sticks out to me and has had a profound impact on my life is someone that is quite unknown to most people, his name is Alex Gaskarth. He is the lead singer for a semi-popular pop rock band called All Time Low. He has had a lot of hardships throughout his life and he has managed to make those hardships into songs, which helps other people get through similar problems. One thing he does that really changed me was do several free concerts for several nonprofits such as Invisible Children. He has made me realize how much it means and how important it is to help out everyone else.

Shitty First Draft Writing

I thought it was very interesting how hard it was for authors to write when they first sit down, and how difficult it can be for them to get started writing. I honestly believed that people that were trained or skilled at writing didn’t have to bother with drafting as much as they do. The fact that the key to good writing is to first have an awful first draft is quite ironic. Even though it is ironic, it does make a lot of sense. If you just write down all your thoughts, then you get a chance to sift through all of that and make a good writing out of all the words.

I begin my writing process by first writing down any key points that I want to address during the paper. After I write down anything that comes to mind, I sort through all of the ideas to pick the perfect ones for my paper, or the one’s that make the writing be more fluid. Once I have all my ideas picked out, I begin writing and explain each point. I am sure to touch on all of the points make sure they are clear and well written. After that I read through and edit to make sure it all makes sense. I’m more of a straight forward writer, and I normally don’t try to too creative, I just like for my paper to make sense and be well written.

My writing is a dream catcher because it collects all the thoughts I have throughout the day. I constantly think about random things and they end up in my writing.
