Writing is Like...

To me writing is like swimming. You have to work hard and train everyday but eventually you'll get stronger. Also even when you put it all down in front of you, like swimming your best at a meet, there is still a lot to learn. Then you have to go back and practice more and fix the mistakes you made, until eventually you get better. Also even like the best swimmers still have things to learn, so do the best writers.

  1. It would be like swimming to you, but of course it fits perfectly. Strength is always achieved in the end, even if the hand or arm is sore.
    Question: How do you know the mistakes that you have to correct after a meet, the writer has the words and errors right in front of him, so how do you know what to change?

  2. Exactly! Just like swimming, with writing you have to practice a lot, but eventually ir pays off.

  3. yea, this is so right. but it's weird to think that even the best of the best, in swimming or in writing need to go back and change what they might have thought of was perfect earlier and change it to be even better.
