Hey guys. Well I have a creative writing assessment due in two weeks time and I've already started writing for it. Basically, we are to write a short 400-500 piece on the theme of "Memories are us". I've pretty much spent like 3-4 days writing out only like 280 words + for my first draft before I had realized that my idea would not work in a 400-500 short piece as it would had felt rather rushed and awkward due to the nature of my idea.
The problem is this: I didn't think it was necessary for me to spend like 3-4 days writing out only 280 words. I seem to have a habit of procrastinating via YWS chat, watching TV, MSN, playing Dota (Warcraft III: Frozen Throne customized map ) on battle net, listening to music etc. I dunno why, I just find it addicting and I can't help it. I try to turn everything off, even shutting the door, but I find myself suffocating in the heat of my bedroom and feel a bit awkward and restless working in silence. Problem is that if I turn everything back on, I seem to find myself unable to think. "sigh".
Well I really want to be able to have a good day of writing and polishing up my short piece up. I love the idea that I have thought up for the piece, it's the actual execution and wording that I find the most challenging, and I'm somehow easily distracted.
I really want to get the excellence grade again for the English 2.1 Creative Writing Achievement Standard for NCEA, but I have realized that I won't be able to have that grade count towards for my qualifications if I don't have one very good day of writing and polishing. I'm thinking of taking my 1st draft with me tomorrow, along with pen and paper and just rewrite it in the study room in my local library. Problem with that is that my library is built into the Town Plaza so it's a bit like a disco in there, as well as the awkwardness that I feel when writing within a group of other people.
I really need your help, and any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy.
P.S: If you guys are curious as to what the assessment is like, then here is the link http://www.tki.org.nz/r/ncea/eng2_1B5_26apr07.doc
Right now, I'm like kinda jealous of the excellence example that they had shown in that -.- lol
