Nothing More
I’m lost. For all of you readers that like this blog because it’s about soccer, I’m sorry to dispapoint you because I have no idea what to write anymore. Any suggestions? I mean, I really like soccer but to play it… not to write about it. I wanted to write about it at the beginning because I don’t have many passions and that was the only thing that came to my mind. But now, I’m starting to regret it. When writing posts, I can’t really express my feelings that much because it’s all about collecting the facts and that just bores me. Let’s say I decide to write about a soccer game. Yes, I can say how I feel about the results and the players but it’s mostly just collecting the facts and reporting what happened. It involves research and time but I prefer to talk about something that I know about and don’t have many opportunities in giving voice to the writing. The other day in class, we had a discussion about giving voice to our writing. Voice is very important because it differentiates out writing from the rest which is very important because writing something is not the same thing as saying it. When saying something, we can give it our “personal touch” but when writing something, it’s just the same as everything else so voice is something very important so that people feel like they’re talking to them and that there is a uniqueness in the writing. When I write about soccer, it is harder for me to give that voice to my blog. So what can I do to give that voice but still talk about soccer? Well, let me tell you that I’m going to keep writing about soccer for the rest of the school year but I’m going to try to write more about some experiences that I myself had with soccer than informing about a soccer event.
