The Pearl

1. It was not that hard trying to find a topic to write on, I simply choice football. Thats all that has been on my mind other than if the Packers are going to win tonight and if I am going to watch entourage at my friends house. I just got back from the Maryland vs JMU game today, we suffered a tough loss in OT but we played hard. Just about every college game this year has been close, which shows the drive and determination to win. I love football season, I can go on and on all day and not get tired of talking about football especially college. During this process, I have stopped a couple of times just to watch some of the Packer game and the typical distraction of the cell phone.
2. The open-ended process was actually helpful, it made me narrow my topic down to specificly what I was aiming for in talking about college football. I narrowed it down to talk about camaraderie because it takes every guy to be in sync in order to win and make it to the top.
3. I learned if I take my time and organize my thoughts, I can come up with a solid topic to write about. Making a list is a sufficient tool in trying to narrow down topics to pick the one that best fits your ability. Sondra Perl's Composing Guidelines is a helpful tool.
