Chapter 2 page 23

What I've written in the past week:
1) Editing an old piece of writing I'd written two years ago.
2) Texting back and forth with friends. (Example 1)
3) Tweeting.
4) Writing a chapter in the novel I'm writing. (Example 2)
5) Notes for my classes.
6) On this blog.
7) Research for my speech class. (Example 3)

Texting my friends is always casual, just sharing my thoughts with people I talk with a lot. Sometimes we argue over something silly, but usually it's ranting about how things are at home or the homework or a guy I know my friend likes, and it's simple because there isn't really a specific template for how to write a text. It can be one word long or a long paragraph.

In the book I've been writing recently (I have two I'm working with on and off) it's a realistic fiction about a girl becoming a book editor. Because I chose such a society-based genre, it has many many restraints. For example I can't really write into the novel "and then the dragons attacked." A problem with this book is I don't necessarily know who it will reach, I only know I'm writing the book so if I picked it up not having written it I would want to read it and enjoy it. Thankfully I have a tablet I can write it on because my handwriting is slow and sloppy, so if I have a good idea I can write up to 1,500 words in an hour, and since I love to read the design is something I've seen thousands of times before.

The research for my speech class is a bit harder than I expected, because they are originally written in a note format but later on I know they will go into a speech outline. The things I pick to take notes on have to layer nicely so I have a well formatted outline that is easy to speak about. I know since I am speaking to a class who all had to do the same thing there will be a little grace, but since my teacher has been hearing speeches for so long even deciding what my topic would be about was a little nerve wracking. Thankfully since it's an informative speech I didn't have to pick a controversial topic or pick a side, instead I'm just supposed to teach the class about what I picked, and the research helps me find out exactly what else is known about my topic.
