Writing for me has always been more of a pain then something I enjoy. Ever since I was little I have had to do writing assignments for school. Now, I like writing but I don’t like writing. If you tell me to write a story about anything, or write what’s on my mind, I will gladly sit down and write and be happy. But if you give me an assignment that’s boring, or something I don’t like, then I’m going to have a hard time writing it and it’s probably not going to be a hundred percent. From my very first piece of writing to now, my writing process and interest have undergone a very big changed. As my writing process changed through the years, so have my thoughts about writing and the experiences that go with it. When I have to write anything I

In 8th grade we had to write a research paper, on anything. So being a military fanatic, I did my research paper on if the United States should withdraw from Iraq. Even though it was a research paper, it was on a topic I really enjoyed to research and I had no problem writing it and it was the best one out of the whole school, at least that’s what my teacher and principle told me. It was so good that I got a metal, for the best research paper in my grade. My other great writing experience was in 12th grade, when I wrote my college essay. When I first started, I didn’t know what to write about, but once I did I hammered away at it and it was amazing. The topic I finally picked was my life experiences working on my farm taking care of my goats. Writing about my life was very easy and I liked it. It wasn’t boring or annoying and it just flowed from my brain, to my fingers, to my keyboard, and final to my computer screen. I ended up writing over 2800 words, but the limit was 650 words. So after cutting down a lot and making my paper flow very nicely it was one of the greatest papers I have ever written and I got a lot of feedback from the colleges I sent it to. One college even gave me a 20,000 dollar scholarship for it. My great writing experiences in 8th and 12th grade were a result of my …show more content…
They were fun topics to write about. I like assignments that peak my interests that make me use my imagination, and that aren’t boring. Writing assignments that are like that, for me, are so hard to write because I have no interest, no incentive to do it. It a waste of time in my opinion and I just don’t like writing assignment like that. If you gave me an assignment like write a 20 page short story I would start right away and I would love and do a great job writing it cause that’s something I enjoy. So all my fun, imaginative assignments that I have gotten over the years have made me start to write a sci-fi book about teens who find remnants of a past civilization, there civilization, and found it was destroyed by the people who now control everything and who made all the humans into slaves. If I had never gotten those assignments I would have never started writing this book, and so far I’m having a real good time writing
