" Is this even possible? These were my thoughts right from the start. Throughout my life I have been writing, but the question's I need to apply to understand my writing are why, how, and what motivates me? To understand how I write and how I think, I will analyze my writing process of Major Paper #2. Starting from the beginning of the process, I will analyze everything from the events which prompted me to write through the steps to my finished product. In an attempt to understand my particular style and what factors contribute to my writing.
Procrastination has taken over my life, and I"m surprised that I ever get anything done at all. I"m sure the nightly drinking also doesn't help my motivation to get my work done either. However, when I write the things I have to write for my classes I find that it takes me a while to actually sit down and write my paper. For Major Paper #2, I remember having absolutely no idea what to write on from the start. Being immensely confused, I found most comfortable just trying to forget that it's due. Once realization sets in, usually occurring at the hookah bar, I usually get a nagging feeling in the back of my head and try to shake it off. I finally stumbled upon the topic I wanted to analyze when I was in a stoned haze watching my favorite movie by Pink Floyd, The Wall. From the first time I watched it I noticed the different symbols and images presented. Nonetheless, I was never actually able to critically analyze something on that deep of a level. I picked a particular scene in the movie where one of Pink Floyd's most popular songs is played, "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)." I had originally picked the song, consciously for its guitar solo, but not until I watched The Wall did I realize the true symbolism it presented. With help I was able to make my topic range more concise. Otherwise, I would've found myself writing a confusing paper with multiple issues being addressed.
