Creative accounting

He enjoys informative writing. He is not a fan of the creative writing. He also does not have varied sentence structure when writing and does not like assistance. He has told me not to look at something until he has finished a paragraph. In these instances, I just let him go on writing. I also think his initial…

Extended Definition First Draft: Specificity Specificity is a very useful technique, which uses particular and specific words to depict a scene or interpret a concept. Writing specifically is like painting a picture with realistic technique, to make the picture or the concept is deeply engraved in readers’ minds. And no matter the writing is fiction or nonfiction, non abstract language nor vague words are supposed to be used in specific writing. As one of the most powerful writing techniques,…

Reading were one and the same; then, came junior high and suddenly English became all about writing, mainly writing my own ideas. For some time I struggled to find a voice and by the time Senior Year came around I found Creative Writing and had a strong sense of voice. In Creative Writing (my final high school English class) there were no comma errors, little required organization, with an emphasis on pathos and setting the scene; one could say that after several years of not stepping into a…

Who has influenced me? This is a very difficult question because it is not something I have truly taken the time to think about. I have never stopped to think about where my influences have come from. I recently came back into writing so I will use writings and influences from when I used to write frequently in high school and shortly after. I have kept most of what I have written and going back to them has been a sad experience. Very little of what I wrote was happy, but I wrote from my heart.…

grade, I discovered The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. Clare has become my idealistic aspiration for creative writing. Though, when I got to high school I joined yearbook. It became my biggest commitment in high school and by my senior year, I was one of the head editors. Around this time, I had no plan for what I wanted to pursue, I was caught between journalism and creative writing. It’s one of the main reasons I decided to attend RCC. Both styles of writing are what I wish to…

All writers are passionate about writing. Few writers, however, are fortunate enough to make a living off of their calling, or even to publish a book. In today 's modern world of consumerism, being an author on a full-time basis is no longer an option for more than an elite few. The majority of published authors are also productive members of society in another sense, taking on some other form of gainful employment. To find out more about this double life of an author, I managed to procure an…

MUW Letter of Intent There’s no power quite like that of having a community. It’s what gives us a sense of identity, it’s a source of love and support, it makes us feel safe in the world. In caveman days, without our clan we were as good as dead with the elements, sabertooth tigers, and limited resources working against us. In today’s world we have more cushioning to survive physically without a clan, but we still need them just as much psychologically and emotionally. An individual rose has…

Looking into the past, it is easy to see the influence people have had on one another 's thoughts. Parents and teachers, writers and singers, everyone who can capture attention can influence thought. This is a great power to have, but look at what is done with it. Songs about murder and drug use. Parents who allow television to raise their children. Writers who will write anything to make a buck. And sadly, a growing number of teachers who have to focus on test scores rather than teaching. Some…

Writing has always been quite the task for me, and never a very enjoyable one at that. Up until college the only scholarly writing I was exposed to was in high school, and even that I would have considered as mediocre. For me, English classes were an easy A+ and so I never took writing that seriously. As a writer I have my strengths and weaknesses, but I do not feel as confident in my strengths as I do my weaknesses. I think I am good with grammar and mechanics, but when it comes to time…

Plagiarism and Fallacies Many people discredit the music genre of “mash-ups” from being an actually genre on the grounds that a mixer is using other people’s work. Mixing is actually a widely practices art form of music that in certain circles is in fact recognized as an art form. If much of the public stays close-minded on those who use other people’s music to create a new sound and only consider them to be plagiarists, this genre of music won’t be able to go anywhere. If mixers they are…
