Analysis Of Craig Vetter

In the field of occupational therapy a lot of writing is required from doctors and students becoming therapists. The question that constantly crossed my mind was why do they need to write? Before I began to research the writing styles and practices that took place in the field, I knew I needed to educate myself about Occupational therapy. I scheduled interviews with a licensed occupational therapist and a student studying to be one to help me understand what took place in their field of work as a student and as an experienced therapist. In addition to studying and reading magazines, medical journals, etc. to spread my understanding of occupational therapy. So, I could understand why they use certain types of writing styles and

In Anne Lamott’s article, “Shitty First Drafts,” the topic of authors is brought up with the idea that professional writers always know exactly what they want to say and how they want to format the information within their first draft. Obviously, that is impossible. Lamott went as far as to mention another writer who sits down to write in the morning and says to himself, “It’s not like you don’t have a choice, because you do—you can either type, or kill yourself.”

The three ways that one’s Christian faith motivates him or her towards excellence in writing would be faith, honesty, and loving others. Humanity since the start has communicated through various types of writing. Writing has advanced from the stone age period of drawing into something that progressions a man's thought. History has shown that writing is essential in reaching the intended audience. For example, Biggs stated that, “when an officer develops a reputation as a good report writer, others look to her or him as a mentor. The struggling officers tend to emulate the writing style of the “good writer” and begin to use the same phraseology and word choice,” (Biggs, 2016). In light of the content and presentation of writing one may form

Whether while writing an essay or a birthday card, we have all struggled to find the proper words to illustrate our thoughts or feelings from time to time. Upholding the occupation of a writer would multiply that struggle tenfold. An occupation that depends on interesting, fluid pieces of writing every submission requires an adequate number of attempts and patience. Lamott expresses that writers “all often feel like we are pulling teeth” (Lamott), which proves the difficulty of writing is still there no matter the level of writer behind the work. Lamott also emphasizes that a writer “has to start somewhere” and shares her friend’s ideas in her writing to simply “get something - anything - down on paper” (Lamott). Lamott, and the other writers mentioned in this piece, carry incredible track records, while still admitting that perfection did not come initially, or even easily. Thus, proving that the Shitty First Draft has a place in any writer’s notebook or Word document. Lamott’s admission to struggling to properly begin a piece of writing surprised me, given of her success. I could not imagine a woman of her accomplishments stressing out over a food review, yet I felt relieved that someone of Lamott’s title relates to an amateur writer like myself. I often put off my writing as well when I cannot articulate a proper introduction. I do every other possible homework, or shy away from homework in general because the

Writers need to be able to control his or here inner critic or it can be destructive. Godwin mentions in her writing how a writer would “rather die than risk making a fool of them self”. Writers that cannot control their self critic destroy them self instead of taking the risk of being foolish. However, every writer takes this risk after submitting or publishing a work because it is impossible to know the opinion of every reader. A writer needs enough ambition to conquer their adversity over the real fear of

In the war, it often thought that soldiers, go to a country to keep peace in that part of the world. Unfortunately that is not always the case;during these tours ,soldiers die everyday from cultural violence,and misguided information by their superiors and in this story that has occurred. Jimmy Cross is characterized as a man who is filled with emotion and the loss of one of his men. “Cross carried a compass, maps,...He carried a strobe light and the responsibility for the lives of his men.” (Tim O’Brien pg. 4) Cross felt directly responsible for his men. Death lead Cross to the realization of who Cross truly is, and who he will become. Jimmy Cross has to find himself one way or another, when he is ready to face the truth is completely up to

   Real writing, soul writing is dangerous; there is an intrinsic, gut-churning element of risk within the process of telling the truth, a risk that yields an adrenaline rush that parallels skydiving and skinny-dipping. The thrill of one's own truth displayed nakedly in little black letters on a white page is scary and beautiful, both chaining and freeing. The issue for authors, like skydivers, is that after they jump out of the plane (start writing) the fears don't disappear. The diver-author asks herself, "Should I really be doing this... What if my parachute doesn't work... What if I'm misunderstood?" Harriet Jacobs and John Edgar Wideman undergo this free-fall,

Writing is not a meaningless task, writers do not form a complex formula of words just because they can. A reason that writers have the drive to do what they do is because they have a compulsory force pushing them to share their viewpoint with as many as will

According to the speech, William Lane Craig claimed on how God does exist and also why God existing is considerably more liable to be valid than God not existing. Despite the fact that he is Catholic, he opened his verbal confrontation by saying that he would "approach today evening time's question rationally, from the outlook of reason and contention." Inside his open deliberation, he obviously plots his reasons with reference to why he trusts God exists. He likewise says that the calibrating of the universe to make everything around is in the way that it is could be because of normal causes, shot, or outline. One other real point that he made was that numerous researchers take the Bible as a precise wellspring of things from that time. This would incorporate Jesus becoming alive once again, which is impractical as we probably are aware it. Be that as it may, the emotions the followers felt and recorded must have some legitimacy, particularly if

Yes, I know what you’re thinking. What in the hell is the Craig Sager Curse? Allow me to expand. During this years All-Star break TNT broadcaster Ernie Johnson and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller decided to pay their respects to the late Craig Sager. They did this by rallying up a few professional ballers as well as a few celebrities to take place in a new contest; The Sager Shootout. The rules were rather simple, make a 3, $10,000 gets donated to the Sager Strong foundation. One minute into the contest they were still $370,000 short of their goal. So without much resistance, Ernie Johnson called up Stephen Curry and told him one thing. Make a half court shot and we hit our goal. Easy for the 2X MVP you’d think, right? Well, that’s actually wrong.

A debate has been ongoing about Malcolm Gladwell’s “The 10,000 Hour Rule”. Jared Sandman argues in “ Write. Rewrite. Repeat.” to forget the 10,000 rule and to try his 1,000 day rule, and Cory Turner argues in “Practice Makes Possible” that you are not born with talent and most at a young age be taught. Sandmen writes in his article “write, rewrite, repeat” and Cory Turner writes in his article “Practice Makes Possible” both comment about the 10,000 by Gladwell. Both authors are trying to reach a level of trust, emotion and reasoning. Sandman is more rhetorically effective because he establishes his credibility by stating the amount of time he puts into one book before he puts it to publish, cites convincing empirical evidence, and elicited

There are constant times in life when we to take a second look at something, whether it is an object, a place, an idea, or even an idea. Through this second look, we get a different perspective about it, either positive or negative. In my interview with Hunter Clifton, I asked her if she likes to write. She answered, “I like to write.” It seems common at first to just “like” to write, but if you asked her eight years ago if she liked to write, she would have just plain out said “No!” Hunter grew up in Columbus Ohio with a love for Jesus, serving others, and missions. Her desire to write, however, took a while longer to develop. It required a little bit of time and a lot of God’s assistance.

When someone is passionate about something, it becomes their talent or hobby. If they want to pursue that and make it more than a talent or specialty, they might make it their career. One talent that can easily be turned into a career is writing. There are a countless amount people who are passionate about writing and become authors or writers. An author, in particular who is excellent at writing and great at constructing solid arguments, is Malcolm Gladwell. In “Complexity and the Ten Thousand Hour Rule”, author Malcolm Gladwell constructs his argument that in cognitively demanding fields there are no naturals, by using anecdotes, quoting experts, and providing statistics.

The idea that one just sits down and knows what and how to write or in many professions, is just a view I feel most have. As individuals who do not excel in outside professions besides their own, we have, as Lamott says “a fantasy” of how others handle their own work. In her own words she refers to “her” view of other writers and their own process. Through her own insecurities she has created this “fantasy” to explain why she is unable to start her own writing endeavors.

Since before the beginning of this creative writing course, I have always struggled to find a point to writing. By this, I mean that I always felt that having great skill and talent was what was required to be a writer, let alone a great one. From this point, I felt there was no need to continue my writing as I felt that in a sense it just wasn't good enough. However, reading the article "A Way of Writing", I found new hope. Here was a writer who says things such as "I must be willing to fail. If I am to keep on writing, I cannot bother to insist on high standards. I must get into action and not let anything stop me, or even slow me much"(Stafford) and quotes that writers don't necessarily have any special talent. The article "Why I Write" instilled further optimism through the authors view on just being a writer, not focusing on being good or bad. I found her words in which she writes "entirely to find out what I'm
