Talking about writing

My life has been a bliss lately with all assignments submitted, and waking up in the morning everyday without worrying about class and so much more.

How are you doing folks? Have you been good since I last wrote to you? :P
Well I wish you well. I know I've left this page unattended for quite a while. It's just that idea doesn't hit me hard enough (same old excuse, I know). And even now, it still hasn't hit me, but I've come up here owing to the fact that I miss scribbling something, although it's just a total gibberish. Sigh, I know now Shakespeare's pain when he was hit by writer's block (if you watch Shakespeare In Love by John Madden, you'll know what I'm talking about). It could be an ugly situation, you have a deadline to meet, say tomorrow, and yet you have written nothing even on your drafting paper!

As a teacher, I know that a writing task must have a purpose and an audience. It's important for learners to know about these two so that they would be able to decide what form and style of their writings that meet those purpose and audience. But sometimes, for adults, knowing these two doesn't help much. We still end up struggling, and by the end of the day, we would write anything (even if it makes no sense at all) just to achieve the expected word count. 


I just hope that this situation won't happen to me during exam tine. :S
