Upper Article Reflection

The Upper Article confused me very much at first. It took me a few minutes to figure out that the article having no words was the point of describing what happens with writer's block. I belive that this happens to almost everyone at one point in time when writing an essay. One may go to begin to write a paper and then all of a sudden, the mind tends to go blank. The individual in question may know about the topic but for some reason there is something about starting essays that seems so difficult to do. Upper perfectly illustrated the effects of writer's block; which is a blank page. I know that for me, starting off a paper is always the hardest part of the entire assignment.

    Good writing stems from a strong foundation of reading skills. I remember sitting in the library of Griswold Elementary School listening to the librarian Mrs. Church telling us how if we are good readers we are good writers.

    Not being able to process all of my thoughts at once, I wrote down what I could when the idea presented itself to me. When there was little to nothing on my mind that’s when I would edit and brainstorm, that was I wasn’t wasting away the precious time I had left. In being in my recovery stages there presented another difficulty later on in the night of focus and attention span to the tack at hand, using whatever methods I could, including various energy drink, Mountain Dew, and junk foods that I was able to scrounge up to stay awake and alert, dinner was non-existent that night. I had now reached around twenty pages of work in the late hours of the night ranging from ten to midnight; regularly being up at these hours my sleep wasn’t impossible to fend off. Yet even though I knew that sleep would overcome my brain eventually, there was an ongoing thought that if I didn’t have the paper complete I wouldn’t pass the class.
