when writing is lacking as a source of relief

as a high schooler i have to write essays all the time. these essays are on stupid topics and i don’t enjoy writing them. but that’s just it i used to love to write like short little anything but now as i’m being made to write which made me hate writing.the fun writing that i used to do is gone. my writing except for school has stoped completely. so my questions is even though i have to write essays on dump topics at school how do i get back to writing outside of school? the writing that is from me and not a topic of a teachers choice.

The muse will return, when you have something passionate to say. What turns you on right now and what really bums you out? Get your thoughts out and onto paper.

Use your school essays, purely to practise your English and grammer.

Fun writing? Go all the way - write a comedy!

Yeah, writing is an art and ideas shouldnt be forced. They should come out naturality. But then, one has to go school, learn new things and thus write about issues.
Me, myself personally loves writing but hates writing for school requirements. Lol. I passed later than the deadline. Dont follow me though if you dont want to flunk your grades. Thankfully, our teacher dont really care.
To avoid deterioration, dont write school works in one setting. Do these things step-by-step. Plan your assignments.
Writing is still fun if you know what you want to write. Dont ditch writing just because youre made to write about dumb topics. Explore. Theres more to it.

I always kind of skew the assignment so that I enjoy it. For instance, spring term I was supposed to write and compare and contrast essay. Normally, these essays bore me to death but I decided to do it on apples and oranges, just to test my professor’s limits. I researched apples and oranges and found out the scientific names of the different parts and compared taste, texture, visual details, and even smell. The professor admitted that he was very skeptical when he started reading it, but he ended up loving it!
Your teachers want you to use the assignment as a starting point and make it your own. They WANT you to take a boring subject and make it exciting.

Good luck!!!

thanks everybody. mainly my areas of writing address everyday issues. one thing that i currently have to right about is super size me. sure i sometimes eat mcdonalds but when watching that movie i fell asleep. what i have to do for my essay is to write to a town counsel telling them why not to put a mcdonalds in such a small town. when really i disagree with what i have to write. mcdonalds would improve the number of pople employed in this small town and it would improve the economy sort of. as to this date there is only one gas station, one restraunt and one bar. plus the essential fire station. so basically its a one stoplight town. besides where can you get a 3-5 essay on mcdonalds. any suggestions?
