No, this isn’t a quiz. It’s an invitation to write during this winter break. You’re often writing term papers and assignments for PR classes and other formulaic sorts of things. Try spending the break writing something for fun. Journal a bit or start a blog about something you enjoy (not necessarily something that will win you accolades from a future employer).
For example, I was talking to one of the instructors in the magazine major at Oregon’s Journalism School and telling her how rarely I get to write feature-length article-type pieces. So when I’m required to, it’s not easy. It’s a writing muscle that, for me, rarely gets flexed. I wish I could write longer pieces more often.
What do you wish you had time to write?
