Personal Narrative Writing Style

Decent Essays
As a writer I am a still growing. I prefer both persuasive and narrative writing styles. Persuasive writing comes easier to me because I can apply passion to my topic and have the ability to share that passion with others. I also can apply emotion that others can relate to and feel I can make a difference and start the process of changing issues like racism, stereotyping, or global warming. I enjoy narrative writing because it is telling a story. I can tell one of my own experience or share one as though I am telling a story to my younger siblings. This style of writing also allows me to change the mindset of the reader and stimulate deep thought on the matter at hand.
When I first begin writing I decide on my topic. Once I have decided on a topic I begin to think of stories that relate to the topic.

Or at times I use humor to bring fun to a lesson such as "popsicles should never be walking around". Saying things in a way that has a powerful impact on the reader is my strong point. Although my diction and punctuation need work I have been blessed with the gift of reading people and knowing the best way to reach out to a reader through my content and my choice of

    When I write I feel liberated, expressive, creative, and most of all I feel like myself when I write.

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…
