"How to become a Writer"

I think that Moore's article was supposed to be humorous, but i didn't find it very intertaining. Moore brought up some good points. She even tried to help the reader follow her thinking, but i couldnt follow. Her examples of things to write about or to think about were crazy; like two old poeple killing over from plugging in a desk lamp. That's just sick and sad at the same time. Maybe she should help write depressing movies or horror movies. Her mind seems creative, but not in a way that i enjoy. She does seem a little insane, or at least that's how she rubbed off on me through her writing. I became really lost in her article and actually wanted to put the book down because i was getting sick of all her crazy topcis. I didnt like this article at all, but it did bring up something i can relate with. The topic i really want to focus on is stereotypes. I have alot to say about this. I am a cheerleader at florida state and have been a cheerleader since the sixth grade. Since i became a cheerleader, i have been constantly stereotyped by others. Here are some of their ridiculous comments on the "cheerleader" steretype: skanks who put out, non athletes(Oh, that makes me so angry), dumb blondes, etc. This list goes on and on. When in fact, none of these comments are true, not even close. People mainly think that cheerleading is not a sport. This is the strongest stereotype that i really hate. Cheerleaders at the college level are athletes, period. We practice just as hard, just a long, just as much as any other sports team. Yes, there is blood, sweat, and tears at our practices too. I do agree thats it sometimes hard not to stereotype people, but steo back and think about it before you start with comments. Yes, we are all guilty of stereotyping, but just try and be nice people.
