I hate writing

The I HATE WRITING project was inspired by a blog (http://ihatewriting.net/) that discusses different issues connected with negative attitudes towards writing. The author of this short decided to feature the I HATE WRITING phenomenon because those who struggle with writing due to their extreme dislike are often omitted in academic multimedia projects. In the past, scholars tended to deliberate on writing as a passion, a cognitive skill coming from within, or as a positive aspect of life in academia. Few have discussed the other side of the problem. Therefore, I HATE WRITING incorporates people from different environments English teachers, students, attorneys, ESL speakers, and professors studying and interacting with those the filmmaker terms I-HATE-WRITERS, to convey the real message, revealing not only the problem but also possible solutions proposed by its participants. The remix of iconic music, strong images from a British CCTV camera (the office clerk losing his mind at the beginning of the movie) and convincing academic arguments, was used to find the lingua franca of todays multimodal generation. Final Cut Express, iMovie, Picasa, Xtranormal Text to Movie, and Audacity combine video and animation with slides, borrowed (with permission) from the South Central Writing Center Conference presentation of T.R. Johnson, Associate Professor of English at Tulane University; additional footage was obtained at the 2009 San Francisco CCCC.

"The more you hate it, the worse you are at it" is correct. I think it works better with "do" though. Thank you for watching!

They hate writing because it requires too much thinking. God, just good old fashioned honesty. Try writing about writing or thinking about thinking or writing about writing while trying to think about what you're going to write. Or even worse, try writing about the impossibility of writing! And yes, these subjects do exist!

I believe that most students can agree that the preparation and time that it takes to write an essay is what makes students hate writing. The gathering of thoughts and ideas is another reason for their hatred of writing.

I don't hate writing. I enjoy it. Occasionally, I usally just have a problem with the subject we are instructed to write about. If I can't relate to a certain topic or subject, then the resentment towards writing begins. When I'm given an unrelateable topic it forces me to migrate out of my comfort zone and thats what I hate, not the writing.
