Personal Narrative: My Life As A Writer

Writing Life
This sucks! That is what I would have said a couple of years ago. Writing has become more important to me in the last couple of years. When I was younger I would write here and there of just stories, but when it came to writing an assignment, I never wanted to do it. From when I was young to now I still have not written a lot. I tend to struggle to complete my own works, but when it came to school all I needed to do was research in order to write what I thought was a good paper. I learned through the years that everything is setting me up to be a great writer and some day I hope to publish a book or a short story.

I want to be able to write and feel good with it. I want to be know for my own style of writing. The day will come where I can write a full novel. Hopefully I will also be known as an author. With each day I have had to write I know I have become a better writer. I know it will help me in the long run to keep writing. I hope to write more short stories. Maybe one day my short stories will be able to connect and become a novel. Through all my writing, I do want to keep my imagination through anything.
Though my writing has changed I seemed to have kept my imagination. I like the fact that you can escape into another world. Writing stories for me is like creating your own world and if I don not like it I can go back and change it. I can make things anyway I want to. Its almost like an escape from reality. Everyone needs that something that can help them escape the day to day trills.
In conclusion, I have had ups and downs in my writing life. I have struggled with too much or too little description. I have also accomplished several short stories and poems. School has helped me develop different writing skills that will help me in the future. It has also made me a better writer. I wouldn 't go as far to call myself an author. There is still plenty more for me to learn. I 'm still growing as a writer. I can now say this

Even when teachers gave us prompts to write about I struggled writing about them mostly because I thought writing was boring. Another reason I was discouraged by writing was I would spend hours at a time trying to come up with ideas for a prompt and would barely come up with any ideas to write about.

All of that didn't matter though, it was how he wrote things on paper, how he wrote what would be done and how he would do it. My interest in writing began there.

    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.…

    My entire life, I knew that I was destined to have a career associated with writing; it was my past, present, and future. My ultimate goal is to eliminate bias in the media, but for now I am satisfied as long as I attain a job that includes writing. Throughout my life, I seized several opportunities to turn one hobby into my future. At the age of eight, I mostly cared about about three things: High School Musical, what was for dinner, and journalism. I had recently moved from England to Hawaii and was curious as to why my new, shiny, perfect elementary school did not have a school newspaper.…

    Every writer has wondered why they practice their craft, including myself. School has always been where the majority of my writing endeavors have taken place. I often fear that if I were not graded on my assignments, if I was free to submit whatever quality of work I chose, that I would not be a good writer. The doubt in my mind tells me that I write only for getting good grades, but that is not true. While school is a factor, I write mainly because I enjoy it, and because it is a place where I can organize and extend my thinking.…

    These books were my first look into writing for recreation and not just as some school assignment. These worlds created through words encouraged me to find more complex ways to describe the subjects that I wrote about instead of just using the quickest and simplest words that could express the same message. This new descriptive way of writing eventually caused me to meet many young writers. Though I was not always one for writing in my spare time I often enjoyed reading the work of other writers, especially friends and classmates. Due to the knowledge I had gained through my many hours of reading I was often asked to read and edit others work.…

    Writing has changed my perspective on various aspects of my life. Some of the essays that I have written in the past have opened doors to new ideas. These essays have helped me make connections I feel I never would have made without writing. I believe this is because I enter my deepest level of concentration when I write. This heightened level of concentration I reach when writing has allowed me to reflect on important areas in my life such as self-awareness and motivation.…

    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.…

    For most of my life, I assumed that everyone is in control of their own lives. The older I have gotten, and the more I have learned, I have come to realize we’re only in control to some extent. I genuinely believe everyone craves some form of control, but no one has complete control over their lives. I have seen people try and take control by controlling others, excessive dieting, or even by losing control. I have been very fortunate because I have found something safe that I assume I can control.…

    Who doesn’t struggle with writing? I know I always have struggled with writing, for the longest time I didn’t even really understand the differences in sentences, and it is something that’s still confuses me a little bit.

    My History As A Writer Throughout my lifetime I have come to love and absolutely hate writing. The reasoning of the assignment or topic has a lot to do with my affinity and disgust. Although learning new things, like writing, was something that I loved doing in elementary school, that all changed when it was daily implemented. As an art form I recently come to love writing down my thoughts, ideas, opinions and stories.…
