Writing about anything

Writing about anything is quite difficult.  Thinking of a topic is quite tedious and stressful, because its seems impossible to find a topic that is appropriate, yet detailed enough to be able to write three hundred words about it.  Once the topic is found, then the writing process begins.  At once the writer wonders again whether the topic is appropriate for the class, and, once that doubt subsides, they try to write as fast as they can in an attempt to finish the assignment as soon as possible.  They furiously type, for about the length of a tweet (that is 140 characters).  Once that point is reached, all the sudden the high schooler/college student has to start becoming creative.  Many begin the circular process of circumlocution, while others seem to ramble until they hit the three hundred word mark, usually ending with a different point then they began.  Then, once they are done, it is never proofread, unless the paper is a large percentage of the final grade.  It is submitted and forgotten.  So, writing about anything proves difficult, tedious, confusing, and then eventually forgotten.  But, it is a fantastic way to engage the mind.
