Common Myths About Writing

199 Words1 Page

Many people dread writing. Often times they do not like writing because of common myths that follow writing.
The first common myth about writing is many people believe they have nothing to write about. Everyone has something to write about because we all have different ideas, feelings, experiences, and interests. Another myth is not being able to write because the writer feels that he/she cannot write with big words and long sentences. However, as long as your sentence is effective and sending a message, it does not have to have strong vocabulary or long sentences. A third myth about writing is writing is hard because it is easy to make mistakes. This is a myth because even professional writers need their work to be edited.

    Another day was so much like the one before, and the many before that. He walked the house and grounds, slowly, letting time pass as it must. Alone, present but not present, for can one truly be there if no one knows of it? Like the saying he’d heard more than once over the unmeasured time of his existence: If a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? He ambled through the back yard, pausing under the tree from which he’d been hanged, cursing his tormentors, vowing to haunt them for all time.

  • Writing Essay: The Importance Of Writing

    1129 Words  | 5 Pages

    Writing is not just about coming up with ideas and jotting them down on paper saying that it is your story because if it is then it is half done, and readers would not want to read what you have to say about how you feel on an experience that you have explored. Writing is about going through experiences and jotting those experiences down on paper and putting them in order so that the reader can understand what experiences you went through to get to the point that you have come to. Writing is a way to write you feel and to make it easy so that you do not have to speak what is on your mind. In my opinion writing can be my favorite thing to do because I like to write but when it comes to me speaking, I get nervous and do not know what to say when I get in front of a crowd. Writing can also be a way to get out of things such as if you want to break up with someone, tell your parents something that is bad that you do not want to tell them in person, talk to a doctor in a message just in case if your friends are
