Goody-two-shoes is what I do not want to be



A Goody-two-shoes is what I do not want to be. A goody-two shoes really isn’t me. “Be willing to put your whole life on the line when you sit down for writing practice.”  Okay, a goody-two-shoes might actually be me. Knowing that there is a deadline and only so much time in the day I have to make sure that there is a plan in place from sunrise to sun-down.  A goody-two-shoes has always been me when it comes to any type of writing assignment. Not knowing what to write about, but knowing that the assignment due date was approaching has and still is a struggle. However, as I have transitioned out of high school and into the University life I have realized that there is no need to be a goody-two-shoes.  The only satisfaction I can get as a goody-two-shoes is the completion of the work, but not the satisfaction. So a goody-two shoes is not what I want to be, rather an out-sider. An outsider looking in rather than looking from the inside out, whos is trapped in a glass box. “Go into the cornfields. Go into your writing with your whole heart. Don't set up a system—"l have to write every day"—and then numbly do it.”

  1. Creative opening. Try to make your ideas clearer in some spots but as a reader, I like the idea that shines through in this post.
