What I Need to Know about WRITING AND WRITERS to Become a Better Writer

For the past four classes we have been visited by four local writers. All of the writers have told us what they do, why they do it, why they like it and many other questions that we threw their way. All of the writer’s presentations were unique and interesting all in their own different ways. But it is safe to say that I enjoyed all of them. After witnessing all the presentations my views on writing very much changed. It became more evident to me that people write not because of their jobs but because they want to write. Many people write for their jobs but many others write for fun. This was a shocking new idea to me. I always figured that people wrote because it was their job but now I know that most people write because they enjoy it. Seeing this prompted me to thinking of a new documentary topic. Our old topic was; "How does writing play into your job?" But after seeing the presentations I want to rephrase out topic. It is now going to be; "How does writing play into your job and do you enjoy the writing that you do for your job?" I feel like this is a much better question. I feel this way because it really in my mind characterizes why people write. People write because they need to in their jobs but they also write because they like it. So with this question you get both of the reasons in one question.
