Personal Narrative: A Career In My Writing

I’m not very good at writing. This paper that you're reading right now was a struggle for me to think of it. If I really try and work and keep brainstorming I can write a great paper, but it takes me forever.

My feelings toward writing aren 't good nor bad. Writing is something i have had difficulty with in my past.I have no problem brainstorming ideas on what topics to write my assignments on, even if i am given a prompt, but I do have difficulty with sitting down and planning my work.I always find myself getting stuck.So I almost never take the time out to plan out my ideas i come up with.My choice in words always tend to make my assignments sound unripe.I agree in my past that i have been lazy when writing and reading that was before i realized my child like writing would not get me far in ninth grade.All of This has lead me to receving grades that i knew i could do much better than.Constantly being discouraged about my grades in english, I

When I write, I either get stuck or write paragraphs. I like to write about everything that I ponder about, have ideas for, or read. I like to write mostly realistic fiction or nonfiction. I like to write facts or things that might actually happen. I don’t like writing untrue or fiction information(Except if it has something to do with either utopian and dystopian fiction) .

As I began the journey of returning to school, one of my biggest fears, was the writing aspect in the classes. The fear of reading and writing has never been a strong quality; however, I have never able to successfully be creative in the way I learn. I understand my weaknesses and when I need to focus on my strengths. I am constantly learning new ways, skills, and tools to utilize to continue to grow as a writer.

I have thought a lot about what I want to do after college, researched what a career in my chosen field would be like, and what I would have to study in order to be prepared for that career. Without a doubt in my mind, I want to be a writer. I love to create stories, and spend a lot of time consuming other stories in many mediums that make me think about my work and how I can be a better writer.

For example, I once wrote a small story on a girl moving in with her were-wolf stepdad. Over the years, I read more and more books which have changed my writing. I developed my own style of writing that I’ve learned to possess and I hope my ideas expand over time. I don’t recall where I got this inspiration to write because no one in my family likes writing.

Find My Voice Accomplishments take me one step closer to happiness and tranquility. For example, maintaining an “A” in a rigorous course, helping others that are struggling, cook for my family, etc. are minor achievements and events that have formed me into a better being. Sometimes, ignorance gets the best of me, and it does conquer my sweet, timid personality that I possess. Accordingly, my accolades never suggest nor imply I am better than anyone else. I never consider highly of myself because we are equally intelligent in our own separate ways.

Humanity as a whole needs escapes such as writing to cope with our boring lives. We are outside of the food chain now, we are no longer in a constant battle for survival. If we want food, we needn’t hunt a wild animal in a game of wits and reflex, we just walk to the store. Our lives are boring schedules of work for pieces of rag and chunks of metal, trade these useless items for life necessities, then go home and wait until tomorrow until we repeat the process. Escapes like writing help us cope with the boring repetitiveness.

Writing is a skill that is necessary for life. Writing gives you the ability to express yourself in ways that talking could not. From a young age, I loved to write. Writing acted as a scapegoat to me. It allowed me to vanish from reality.

Writing has allowed me to find what it is I am truly passionate about. All my life I have wanted to leave a mark in different aspects of society. This varies from environmental issues to everyday sports injuries as a physical therapist and healthy dieting as a dietitian. Writing allows me to show and explain to others that no one has to follow the path of what is considered “normal.” In today’s society there is no end to any situation or idea.

I also think about the possibility of getting to overwhelmed that I stop all together. While I have these thoughts, I also have the thought of how proud my mom would have been of me. Ever since I was a child, I always liked to write. I would write short stories and poems that I would then show to my mom. She would praise me and tell me that I would be able to write whatever I wanted.

Personally, I know that I use writing as a way to express myself, along with my thoughts. These past few years I have struggled with anxiety, depression and nightmares. For me this is when writing became so important. I keep a journal on the side of my bed at all times. In this journal I write down not only what worries me, but also any dreams that wake me up in the middle of the night.

Like I explain before, I like to make my reader feel my words and illustrate in their minds what they read. As a free writer I like to transmit a positive attitude with my words, I like to practice the many ways I can use a word, and I like to think that I am still trying o find my voice as a writer because I am still learning new things every day. And as a free writer I am always open to new

They would rather procrastinate than to put in the time to begin working on their writing projects. Many writers tend to overthink every little detail. Other people tend to let inspiration guide them into a paragraph or even a whole story. However, many authors argue that inspiration will only come if you push yourself to keep putting pen to paper each day. Several writers have their own way of dealing with a writer’s block.

I can relate to this, and I have found that if I am writing on a daily basis ideas come into my head no matter what I am doing. I think it could be called, “The writer’s mindset”. King suggests in his writing instructions, “I think you begin by interpreting “Write what you know” as broadly and inclusively as possible” (King, 158). King also said that if you just write as you know, it may be difficult to write about spaceships (King, 158). I can relate to that because it is more difficult to write fiction than non-fiction because sometimes you have to write about what you don’t know.
