Woolf "A Room of One's Own"

Woolf states that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." I can see if that in the context of the time that a woman would need some sort of fixed income in order to spend her time writing or thinking about writing free from the worry of money. Also, I agree that a woman would need a place of her own because unless a woman lived and was left alone from the inhibits there would be no place and time to write. However, in the context of today's time I don't think a woman needs to have money to write fiction. As discussed in class, money does provide more freedom, time, and opportunities so it can make writing easier but it is not necessary. Also, I don't think a woman needs a room of her own to write. A woman can write where she choices and can be successful doing it. I do believe that a woman needs a place "mentality" where she can go and get into the mode of writing.

Writing Process

The writing process for me is very difficult and time consuming. It is hard for me to start writing even when I make an outline, but when I'm halfway done I can easily finish. I dislike writing papers because it is hard to organize my thoughts into a well-written paper. A metaphor to my writing process would be would be running a 5k. It is hard get in shape for the race and prepare myself for the 5k. Also, the first two miles of the 5k race are hard but the last 1.2 miles are easier because I know I'm close to finishing.
