Writing? Thats Funny.

For me, writing is like telling a 6 year old to sit inside and read a book when it's a beautiful sunny day. For the six year old, I'm sure the idea of playing outdoors is much more appealing. Whenever I am given a writing assignment, I become like the six year who would rather be doing anything than have his nose stuck in that book. Picking up a pen or pencil and attempting to organize my ADD thoughts on any given subject is probably one of the most unbearable tasks. When I write I tend to jump from one topic to another, and the final product rarely comes together as smooth and uniform flow of ideas. I often wonder what my past English teachers have thought of me after reading a number of my papers. Does this girl belong in public school, or an insane asylum? Writing is typically easier for me when I am given a very general topic, because it allows me to be more creative, while a very specific topic constrains my ability to think and elaborate.
