Finding Out How Writing Works In Your Field

Their are many  possible ways to find out how writing works in my field. The easiest answer is to go asking an instructor. But that that way is not the best way because the instructor might not be doing all day for their job because they have to teach. I think the best way to find out writing works in my field is to go ask a student enrolled in classes and that has had a job or an internship with someone. Probably the best way to actually find out how it works is finding someone in the real world that works all day and it is their primary job to do. A person like that knows how things works in the real world and complications and what people actually want.

Thought Piece

Goodman's article "Calming the Inner Critic and Getting to Work" was very interesting. I have to agree with Goodman on many of her points. Even though Goodmans spoke in article about writing books I think this thought and mind set can be transferred to other things. Having your inner critic changes your mind about doing a lot of things because you do not know the outcome. Example, if you are trying to run in an election for an office seat in an organization you might think what if my views on certain things aren't what others see? What if you I do it and no one supports me or I do something wrong?
If you never go for it you'll never know the outcome. I believe the fear of the unknown brings our inner critic to us. If you always have the inner critics fear consumes you, and you'll never go as far as you want. Also, if you always compare yourself to someone you think is better you're already in the inner critics grasp. You should never have to look up to any one, you should one have inspiration for someone. If you can push and not let your inner critic get to you, maybe one day someone will look up to you for inspiration.
