My Writing Journey
There's always something you look back on and realize that it changed your life forever. Something so small can make such a big difference in who you are today. It could be very fond memory or an extremely cold one. You’re going to be reading something very close to my heart. My journey of my love toward my love for reading and writing. Reading and writing was essential for more learning and stability growing up.
When I was younger, I never liked reading, in fact, I wasn’t very good at school in general. I was, and still am, a horrible speller. Reading never came as easy to me as it did for the other kids. In elementary school, I was pulled along with a few other kids to meet with a teacher to help me read and write. I remember sitting in

That book stopped the special class time I had because I advanced. It took me a month to finish the first book, mostly because I found it boring at the beginning. The rest of the saga only took me 2 weeks for each book. As I read those books my speech, vocabulary, and writing improved fantastically. I loved those books so much that when I would re-read them, I could just feel where the far a certain part was in the book and flip to it actually. I still re-read parts of twilight every now then because it gives me so much comfort and happiness, even when I wasn’t …show more content…
She introduced me to this website called Wattpad. On this website anyone and everyone can write and read books created by teens and adults. I was one of the people who would just read books for a long time, until one day in the shower. Idea’s started pouring out of me randomly and I decided to type it out. I would spend hours upon hours writing. This improved my my writing tremendously. I remember feeling so elated when people commented on my chapters. I actually developed a nice little following before someone hacked my account. Then I got my account got hacked and my book was deleted. I remember that day like it was yesterday, my mom had made tacos to cheer me up and I just felt numb all over. I was frantically looking for a way to retrieve my work. I never really wrote anything to extensive after that. I do have a story that I sometimes work on but it isn’t as

    This is the story of when my interest in reading and writing arose. I believe it started around 10th grade in high school. I experienced so many new things. For instance, I was involved in the band. Which I consider helped my creativity. I found a book that truly interested me and actually had me hooked from beginning till end. Some things from this time didn’t always seem to pan out, but that’s something pretty common and we’ll discuss this at a later time in this. There were people who along this time who inspired my writing and introduced new books to me to enjoy thoroughly. At this time, I believe I’ll start by talking about the people who got me on track.…

    I used to love reading. In kinder and first, my nose was stuck in a Magic Tree House book. Third, fourth, and fifth grade I basically lived at Hogwarts (in my rightfully sorted house, of course, I am a proud Hufflepuff). And in middle school, I discovered THE tween series of my generation, Maximum Ride. Reading was exciting, and even though I had done it for years every time I picked up a book it felt so novel. I was your ordinary bookworm until seventh grade when the joint power of Ms. Green’s teaching and James Patterson’s writing broke my will to read.…

    I would be assigned books that would put me to sleep like Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry because it would have no action that I enjoyed. That’s when eighth grade happened. I saw this smart kid reading a book with a bland red cover with the title I am Number Four. At first I thought it was too advanced and boring so I didn’t bother reading it. Until that summer I went to the library and saw the book under the “Most Read” section and I gave it a shot. I could see why that kid wouldn’t put that book down during class. It made me feel so many emotions I’ve never felt before over a book and I couldn’t stop reading the series, again I wouldn’t do my homework and my parents would get mad because I would read too much for once! I have recently just finished all the books in the series up to this point and I’m waiting to get my hands on the one that just recently came out. I have read this series several times because I just thought it was so…

    A lot of books I can remember reading made my childhood so great. Growing up as a child, going to the library was one of my most favorite hobbies to do. My mother would always take me there and she would read to me anything from Junie B. Jones to Arthur books, Dr. Seuss, Charlottes’ Web. Dr. Seuss was one of my most favorites. Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham will always be a childhood favorite. At the library, my mother would read word by word very slowly to make sure I’d understand what she was reading. Age 3-5, I would take part in a summer program at the library that involves reading. The volunteers who were…

    The crumbling leaves swayed, as the winter air crashed against his home. Walking towards his farm, William became uncomfortably aware of his surroundings. He grew up in this town, spending his days working and adventuring in every niche of the area. For an eighteen year old, his journey of life was monotonous. He endeavoured to peregrinate and advance his life- but his next journey was one that caused a nauseous, yet prideful feeling in the pit of his stomach.…

    Ellen Hopkins said, "I didn't start it looking for publication, let alone expecting the book to become the phenom it has.", I found this on her website {EllenHopkins.com}. I think this quote is interesting because she did not write to get famous she wrote just to try to understand what just happened and what was happening with her life. I put this quote in this paper because when I wrote my book, my friends who read the story really enjoyed it, but I did not write it for people to enjoy or to get interested in, I just wrote for myself, because it went with everything that was going on in my life at that time and helped me get through my depression. I enjoy writing and reading about things that I choose to write or read about, once I am interested in reading or writing something I can get to a point where I do not want to stop reading or writing. If I choose to write something I can write pages and pages, same with reading, if I find an interesting enough book I can read for hours without getting bored. Also getting interested in reading I have learned to not give up on a book when the it starts out boring, it will soon get better and if it is not interesting half way through than the book is not for you. Even though Ellen Hopkins has got me more interested in reading than what I was, I still have more work I could do with reading, there are still some times where I do not read as much as I…

    Coming into English 090 was something I was not looking forward too. I assume who wants to repeat a course already taken, even though I board line passed. However, to me a passing score was a passing score. In high school and even in some college English courses never served as my strong point, I would always find myself confused and frustrated. Many of the times I did not understand why I did not get the grade I thought I deserved. Immediately, I notice I was not getting the grades I believed I deserved and I just simply stop trying. Afterward most of my assignment I would write without much thought put into to them, just to get them out of the way. When I write my essay, I never allowed myself to connect with them; until forced to repeat English 090 in a different college.…

    I am writing this quick letter to introduce myself and tell you a bit about my accomplishments and aspirations as a writer. I won't say that writing is in my blood or my genes or anything like that, but I will say that I do have an insatiable urge to write. I cannot say, but I definitely feel that writing is a passion of mine that I greatly enjoy. It is an urge that can only be satisfied and, even then, only temporarily, by stringing words together into a narrative. Ultimately, I greatly enjoy writing, although I do not consider myself to be stellar at it; I would call it a passion more than anything else.…

    The Writing Journey Revision is the act of revising, it is to correct, edit and redraft. When I begin to revise a paper, first I reread what I wrote then afterwards, I read it aloud, the human mind won’t necessarily point out the mistakes because the brain will correct what you read and implement it to what needs to be there. Depending on the topic or the importance of the paper, I’ll ask around for help, or sometimes I would ask a friend to edit my paper to point out my mistakes and learn from them. Ever since 8th grade I pushed myself to convert to an improved writer through the art of literature.…

    I used to believe I was a good writer. Throughout my elementary school education, creative writing dominated curriculum which allowed my extremely creative mindset to thrive. In middle school, I developed an elitist mentality about my writing ability. Believing that I reached my academic peak, I felt no need to sharpen my writing skills, causing me to become close minded to critique or other writing styles. Upon entering high school, I still clung to the idea that I was the best, but after my first week of class, I realized how weak my writing skills were in contrast to those of other students. Now, I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and hope to have come far from my middle school self.…

    I would beam with joy anytime that I was handed an order form for the upcoming book fair. I was obsessed with R.L. Stine and read every book of his that I could get my hands on. I even collected the Goosebumps series. Around the age of sixteen, I started writing poetry and short stories. By the age of eighteen, I was part of a children’s literature program that gave me an opportunity to write stories that targeted young audiences. I never got published, but I never really tried to either.…
