Do essays really suck or is it just me? I just had to write an essay for the GED practice test I'm taking and it was brutal. Writing about something I want to write about is one thing, but when I'm told to write about something i don't really want to, it wears me out like crazy. I don't know how I'm going to manage college if this little essay bothered me so much. Just another challenge i suppose.... |

Agreed. PWA essays = awesome. Learning essays = the suck. |

Practice exams are usually tougher than the actual ones, don't fret. Also, with the state of our educational system you barely need to know English - let alone know how to write - in order to get your college degree. |

In my case, I also hate writing, too, along with wrestling >.> But I'm generally good at it academically. Some assignments do suck. I'm not sure what a practice exam asks for so I can't tell you my experiences with them. I do know that it gets easier and easier to write stuff with experience, and I'm thinking that you're way out of practice writing academically (aka the non English-conforming PWA writing) if you're taking the GED, assuming the rules are like they are here. I wouldn't get too demoralized. |

Since I live in New Hampshire, maybe they would. Seriously, though the only parts I'm worried about are the essay and the math side of things, just cause I suck at math in general. The rest of it, I'm 90% sure I can pass with ease. |

So, I got my scores on the practice parts today. It turns out I was right. I got exceedinly high scores on every test but MATH. Math, I passed by maybe one or two questions. SO, now I just have to study a math book for the next month or two and sign up for taking the various parts of the test, since they don't recommend doing 7 to 8 hours of straight testing..... Well, I'm sitting here at work, putting off doing ovens, though their not that bad tonight. Mostly, I just wanted to get on the net today, since I wasn't able to at my mom's this morning. Too much stuff that I should have been doing and killing those damn fruit flies.... |

I love writing. I fucking adore it. But PWA has lost it's appeal because as much as you can 'change up' your writing, you are still writing about the same shit week in and week out. I have so many other options I can explore that at this point writing a wrestling match every week became more of a nuisance than anything else. I think I'm too the point where I can't peal away anymore layers from the Deception character. I've done everything I can with him, which really sucks but that is the way it is. I write close to 20,000 words weekly now ranging from Nazi war stories to schi-fi to Distopia to general bullshit and I love it but this place for me lost it's appeal a long time ago. I kept going because I felt I needed to win the World title, once I did - as far as I was concerned - I had achieved everything I needed to here even if I my 'reigns' were shit. It was never about defending for me though, just proving I could win it in the first place. I wish it was different, but that is how it is for me. |

Deception's post sort of sums up how I feel about the place now. Maybe a time will come when I feel like I can bring something new to a wrestling match narrative, but I doubt it. Until then, I feel like I've pretty much mastered the "genre", and have no desire to continue on running in place. |
