So Um

I accidentally enjoyed writing?

 

Today in AP English Language and Composition, we were doing practice thingy for the AP test. Basically, we get a little passage (less than a page), and then we have to read it and then answer the prompt. We had like 40ish mins to do it. And I accidentally fun. It was all the fun of a timed challenge, with none of the grading (I think). So yeah, it was kinda cool. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can spin that so it'll work for making MOCing fun.

I'm going to attempt to get into an AP English class, but our school lacks one currently, which should be changed next year.

 

I, personally, don't care for the timed writings [Had to write four short stories on the spot, seven - ten minutes each] as it takes a bit out of me afterwords, plus, I like putting in my best work, not my rushed, horrible work [which still is an A+ at the end of the day, even if I think it deserves a B- at most]. Recently, I wrote a two page short story in twenty minutes, a good 1500 words [We had to count the words and stuff], but as far as the story went, it sounded like garbage to me, compared to the stuff I have posted on BZP [And most of that is garbage, besides for a few things I like].

 

The one thing I didn't agree with was the "FOG" system as to find out what grade level you write at. According to "FOG" if I wrote a single sentence with a bunch of long words, completely unrelated to one another, I write better than a highschool senior.

 

And I'm gonna stop typing here before I end up ranting/rambling even more.
