Reflection on Bad Writing
I liked the film by Bad Writing quit a bit. It was just the same thing though we have been hearing since we were in elementary, "anyone can be a writer." So the age old message was nice to hear again, but it was no real revelation of knowledge that I haven't heard before. And I strongly felt this was the point of the film, just to tell you everyone starts at a certain point when writing; no one writes perfect pieces all the time. It takes a lot of revising, and re writing, or can be summed up as perfect practice makes perfect. Just keep practicing writing, and like a muscle, it will get stronger. The most important thing I learned from the film is if you love what you do, even it is for 25 percent of the time, it is worth doing. You may feel like you are failing sometimes, but do not let doubt defeat you. I defiantly feel this way sometimes when I am writing copy. I get so frustrated with words that I just want to burn a dictionary. But once I hit that moment where the words start to flow out on paper, I realize that I am not that bad at copywriting after all, and I need to be a little less hard, but still be critical of my work. I would defiantly recommend this documentary for people who are discouraged about their writing, or for someone who just needs a quick reminder things may come naturally to us, but they never come easy.
