Why I Have a Problem Writing Papers

So I haven't written in a while but it's not like anyone reads it anyways.

The reason I hate writing papers, particularly papers in classes, is because I believe writing is an art form. If I'm putting a lot of time and effort into an essay, I want it to be personal, I want it to cause an emotional response in my reader.  I don't want to simply write plain, boring words about a plain, boring subject. The cookie cutter form of today's acceptable essay leaves little room for expansion. (You all know what I'm talking about, attention grabber, filler, thesis, body body body-following the layout of the thesis, summary, call to action, restatement of thesis.)


That's all.
