Well, my experience as a cartoonist writer for a couple of hours makes me realize about several things about this job, which, otherwise, I would have never reflected upon. In fact, cartoons are too far away from my life. I’m not keen on reading cartoons, let alone writing them. So, for sure it was a completely new experience.
Anyway, as I said before, I’ve become aware of certain things about this activity and I would like to share them with you:
1) Not only essayist writers or article writers need to be innately gifted, as we all perfectly know, but also cartoonist writer. I’d say it is at least relieving to learn that.
2) There’s something cartoonist and teachers share. I’m talking about creativity. Teachers do need to be creative in doing their job as well as writers. They have to prepare activities, invent new games, resort to different types of classroom management and the like. At the beginning of our careers, I guess this task will be much easier in the sense that we’ll be able to resort to methodologist books which are full of ideas. But, if we are planning to stay in the profession for more than 10 years, then it’ll be necessary for us to exploit our creativity. Let’s be ready for that!
3) Apart form creativity, cartoonist writers need to be wit in order to achieve humour, reflection and so on.
4) Writing cartoons is definitely not my cup of tea!
5) The last thing I’d like to say is that I really appreciate that the web page is easy to handle. It saves nerves!
I’m eager to know what you felt as cartoonist writer. Is someone thinking of abandoning TTC?
