Writing Is Like...
Writing is like macaroni art. Writing can be simple, so can macaroni art. We start when we are young, and our end product is sloppy and unstructured. Writing can be complex, so can macaroni art (although I'm not sure if anyone has made a masterpiece out of macaroni art, but I'm sure it is possible). We can do it for the rest of our lives, and as we get older and practice the end result will be more beautiful and thought-out than before. It has been said that not enough people in modern society write, and one of my personal philosophies is that not enough people in modern society partake in macaroni art. However for the people that do write, so many say that writing is therapeutic and relaxing. Macaroni art can be the same. Sitting down, taking time, and finding little pieces of something(possibly some Penne or a thought you had about something a week ago), putting them together to make something bigger. Something better. Now some may think that comparing writing to macaroni art is a bit of a stretch, that I'm not taking this assignment seriously enough. But who said writing had to be serious? Can't it be just as fun and silly as let's say, macaroni art?

I love macaroni. I don't know too much about macaroni art, but I completly understand your metaphor. Writing and macaroni art take time. I like that. These things can't be rushed. I really like your ending. "But who said writing had to be serious? Can't it just be as fun and sillly as let's say, macaroni art?" Right on. Writing should be whatever you want it to be.
ReplyDeleteI really like the ending to this post. I totally agree that writing doesn't always have to be completely serious. I really like to goof off and write something completely different.
