Personal Experience: A Personal Narrative Of My Writing

Great Essays
Throughout my life, I have grown to idealize the realm of storytelling. Fictional worlds and their inhabitants have interested me more than the subjects of math or history. Being able to create my own written adventure has always been a dream of mine. My desire to do so have driven me to put countless hours towards scribing a story that is personal, potent, and mine. I find writing to be an outlet for my creative and a long-term goal wrapped into one. I'm proud to say that I truly give it my all when trying to produce a story that is worthy of being created.

Similar to great heroes that dot the fictional worlds of epics and fables, I have my own motivations, conflicts, and goals. All these elements are intertwined into the reason why I write.

It hasn't morphed or grown strong like I have. Rather, it was always powerful. That antagonist is my long-term goal. The desire to produce a great story, published and complete. A tale flooded with wonderful characters, who are interesting and fleshed out, and a plot that takes the reader on an adventure. An epic dotted with nuance and depth, with the reasons why I loved the stories I grew up with sprinkled atop its fine word choice and dialogues. It will take tremendous work, but that should be expected, it is my dream after all. And as the stories, the ones I fell in love with and were inspired by, taught me is that dreams are worth pursuing with heart and passion, no matter how tough it …show more content…
I am still far away from my goal. Yet, I find myself wanting it like a starving dog. It is something I have sacrificed for and have grown to obtain. Like an athlete, I have finely tuned my sense and mind to the art of writing. The gargantuan antagonist stands before, yet I convey no fear, only deep desire. With each step and breakthrough, I am ready for the trials ahead. Writing is my purpose and passion. Something I drained my heart's blood and my mind's love into. Even if I was never published, I would be content with all the work I devoted to the craft. The experience that has spanned years of my life has been worthwhile. I am proud of the work I have accomplished so far, and am pleased that the people around me are supportive of me. My pursuit of writing is the reason why I push myself through every day. Whether I have a smile or a deep frown, my writing will be there to exist as evidence of my

    The story I chose to summarize and reflect was ‘Becoming a Writer”, by Russell Baker. Baker accentuated on how rapidly one can determine such fascination for something they never they had in them. Writing was a challenge for Baker, over his years of schooling, but it wasn’t until his third year of high school that gave him his purpose in life, becoming a writer. Baker disliked everything about the subject English.…

    “Conflict builds character,” as often said by authors, readers, and others alike-- but perhaps some authors build character through the use of conflict better than others, like Edgar Allan Poe (author of many, many short stories and poems but for the sake of this essay, “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Masque of the Red Death”) and Jack London (the author of Call of the Wild), for example. “The Tell-Tale Heart” is the story of a man who kills another, due to being bothered by the the other’s defected eye; “The Masque of the Red Death,” on the other hand, is a story about a prince who leaves his people to fend for themselves when the land is plagued with disease by going into solitude. The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog, taken from his home during the Alaskan Gold Rush to work as a sled dog. Thus, through use…

    Writing has always been a pastime for me. When I was younger, I loved writing stories just for fun or to have something to share with my family and friends. I remember being able to sit down for hours on end and write full pages worth of writing. Whether it made any sense, had proper grammar, and even if it was legible didn’t matter to me. It was writing that I could truly say was my own and be proud of.…

    By looking back at my writing experiences, I can tell that writing does not come naturally to me and find it to be a real challenge. I may think I did well while writing but in reality I did horrible. It takes me a while to write a paper then other people and there tends to be plenty of problems that try to slow me down. One of the hardest problems I have while writing is trying to find the right words to say. Every time I write I always take longer than anyone else because I always second guess what I just wrote and have to rewrite what I am trying to say.…

    I’m a former journalist and public-relations professional who always wanted to write novels. So, about four years ago, while the country was still in recession, I took a deep breath and quit my day job. (I have to thank my husband, Mark Funk, for making that possible.) The decision to finally pursue my childhood dream was a complete leap of faith. I flailed around a lot, writing and rewriting the first paragraph of my novel 327 times (that’s just a guess) before I realized I’d never reach the end if I couldn’t get past the beginning.…
