A Writer Is
A writer is meant to be free and express themselves. Writing allows you to get away from all of your bad thoughts and bad memories. A writer is the hero to being free. The thing I like about I like about writing is that you can control what is happening around you. There are many different and unique types of writing. You have journal writing. You have exam writing. My favorite is creative writing. The reason I like it is because you’re taking a boring piece of writing and you’re turning it into a thoughtful and creative style of writing.
Like I remember the time in middle school were we had to write and history essay. In my head I knew that I wasn’t going to do that good because I really didn’t enjoy writing. Then when I got in high school something bazar happened. I started to like writing because I was introduced to creative nonfiction (CFN). This style of writing turned something boring into something I really enjoy.
This writing style helps me express and write down how I’m feeling in a creative way and that now when my teacher tells the class that we have free write I know exactly what I’m going to write about and will be looking forward to writing. When writing creatively you have to put your self in the story. Imagine that the character in the story is and tell how you would act. You have to add imagery, similes and that other fun stuff.
Most people that I ask about creative nonfiction, they say that the reason they like to write creatively is because it relaxes the and also calm them down. I think that, that is very true because every time I write I feel free from others and free from the pain and from what others say and this and that. Besides I don’t feel like writing all those boring essays, job applications, college applications. I’d rather be put in a tiger cage then write al of those bring essays tat the teachers assign.
Life is to short for me to start worrying about those things. Well what I’m trying to say is that you shouldn’t give up on something just because you didn’t like it the first time you tried but you should keep trying and never cancel something out by your first instinct. So don’t spend the rest of your life thinking that all writing is boring and a waste of time before you try the different styles.
OH I almost forgot another about creative non fiction (CNF) is that the first time you try to write it don’t get upset if it don’t turn out how you wanted it to be because everyone make mistakes and everyone isn’t perfect. I remember the first time I tried to write a CNF PIECE I was getting so ad because every time I tried to write a piece I always messed up or either I dint add enough imagery or add enough similes and all that other stuff.
The most big thing hat I had trouble with was worrying about is trying to portray the truth in your piece of writing, anyways that’s all I got to say about creative nonfiction and the experience that I had dealing with it, remember if it doesn’t work out the first time keep trying and never give up.
One more thing is to remember that is writer is meant to be free, so don’t worry about what others will think about your writing just write for you and just be you
