From the segment “Bad Ideas on what good writing is” I chose to write on the topic – “You can learn to write in general- by Elizabeth Wardle” where writing is simple is a bad conception. Elizabeth Wardle says how one cannot write something without a specific topic. Every writing experience is different when she writes – “context, audience, purpose, medium, history, and values of the community all impact what writing is and needs to be in each situation”. I agree with her as I feel every writing is intricate and not simplistic. One must study and explore the perspective of different situations or multiple writers to get a better hold in writing. Elizabeth Wardle in her writing implies that everything around us is changing, so is writing. A better writer requires more than a story. A writer should always take into consideration every possible aspect and have a thought process while writing. I chose this topic as I always thought that a good writer can write about anything, they do not need any topic, but after reading the article it gave me a better understanding on how one can improve in writing and reading. This reading made me realize the contradiction of Shakespeare quote – “the pen is mightier than the sword” –I realize the pen itself is not enough to make one an effective writer, practice and prior knowledge in writing might help one to be more successful. A writing speaks a lot about a writer’s perspective than the writer thinks it does. A writing takes a lot of study, research and sophistication as every word matters, it is more than just a thing to do.
