Becoming A Creative Writer

From writing thoughtful poems to research papers, I have experienced composing a diverse portfolio of literary analysis and criticisms throughout the school year. I started out the year writing minimally. By the end of the year, I noticed I was able to express my ideas and thoughts in a more clear and concise way on paper. Ultimately, each composition allowed me to widen my horizons as a writer and see how I could improve as a writer.

I look out the window above the sink as my mom replies. "Ok, sounds fine, bring a swimsuit, and that light purple sweater for night time, and hiking boots and old sneakers, and LOTS of socks, and-" I listen to her as I search out the window for nothing in particular, until I see a movement in the window of Camden's house on the first floor. I stare at it as my mom drones on, and Camden emerges from behind the curtain and waves creepily.

"Sometimes you gotta let something bad happen, or else you wont know how to fix things when they go wrong later."

Sniff* "Mommy...Sniff* Daddy..." The lupine cried out as he laid down inside the beaten up box, wishing for his parents until someone started to shake the box. "L-leave me alone..." He whimpered to the stranger until the shaking stopped and two white hands reached inside and lifted him out of the box. "Hey there... Don't fret little pup I'm a police officer. Why were you in that box? Where are your parents? A white tiger asked with a gentle voice to the frightened pup. Jade noticed the police uniform and tried hard to calm down but failed miserably. "T...T-they are....sniff* There gone! T-there with everyone and left me all alone!" The lupin cried out loud, unable to hold back his warm tears. His breaths could be seen in the cold night air.

Ding Ding Ding. All the students were dismissed from their 7th- period class. Finally, I get to go home! After I packed up all my things to go home I walk out to go home. Then I see two 8th graders trying to steal stuff from a 6th grader. “These kids are crazy they do this to everybody. They have been through this before and they know how it feels to be bullied so why do they do this to other people." I walked past them quickly and quietly so they won’t bother me. I see my friend ahead and yell “Hi Alex”

I don't remember the first story I wrote. I've been writing for so long that it has just always been there. I may not be able to remember what it was about or what words I used, but I remember how it felt. I have the same feeling every time. The rush I get as the white paper fills up with thoughts. The euphoria I feel when all of the ideas I have click with a few simple words. Sometimes I think about writing all day; it's an obsession. No matter how I feel about myself I always have this one thing I can come back to.

What kind of writer am I? I feel that I am a decent writer and I believe there are no bad writers. I can elaborate well on what I’m reading and really go into depths about the subjects, especially if the subject interests me. I really enjoy writing about topics that I enjoy because then I feel like I actually know what I am talking about, the thoughts in my head flow onto paper better and writing about subjects that I like makes it easier to elaborate on the subject. It’s harder for me to write about something randomly assigned to me but I am capable, but being able to choose a subject makes it easier for me to really get into it and make it my own.

Minimis desperately wanted to stay in Castellum. He felt so appreciated here, so welcomed. He was sure word had spread about his fight with Maximus, and that he would be ridiculed by the entire kingdom for his actions. His lack of strength, combined with the fearful thoughts of what may lie ahead once he returns home, Minimis considered giving up, and letting the guards put him in prison for stealing the expensive medicine his father so desperately needed. However, he knew that was not an option. He had to complete his mission and save his father.

I have been asked what exactly I am doing with this blog, by several readers.

To become a better writer, you must learn the importance of writing as communication. For this purpose, you must have a reason to write. For example your boss might asked you to write something very specific, whether this is taking notes of a conversation in a meeting, or preparing a report. Although, you might not be a good writer, you can work on becoming a good writer. First, you want to stay clear, simple, short, and concise. Even though there are many words to use, do not use too many big words, or overused clichés. To be more effective you have to have structure, to give clarity for your audience. Second, it is important that you keep an active voice. It is easier for your audience to understand. However, passive voice can be difficult,

Looking back on this English class, I have realized that how much my writing has improved since the beginning of the class. I went from being a writer that was not so confident in writing paragraphs to the writer who can do the fair job in paragraph writing. The fact that I am feeling so accomplished about, I was able to write all my thoughts in the paragraph. The first learning outcome is to watch out for my grammar mistakes in paragraphs. For example, the use of an article like 'a,' 'an' and 'the' in the sentence formation. The other example is how to use proper tense in the sentence. The new skills I developed that, I will always proofread my work so I can catch my grammar mistakes. The second learning outcome is how to structure my paragraph

Becoming a better writer is crucial for my future success because in order to be a best hospitality manager or health care manager you should know how to write great responses to your customers or higher authority. If you do not have good writing skills there is no way that your company would be happy to have an employe with poor writing skills because writing and speaking are two important parts of your work you can not survive with poor writing and speaking skills in such professions because those professions are completely based on how you react to a customers problem and how politely take care of it while using a strong professional language which helps you to support your argument in every manner you want to.

At the beginning of time, there existed one realm. In it there lived happiness and anguish, joy and pain, and success and failure. These emotions and characteristics were deep and rich. From this world emerged 2 beings, Masculum and Femina, born unto opposite sides in this vast world. The man was found among valleys and mountains, in a land of physical hardship and immense trials of strength and agility. He was forced to be strong in body, and aggressive, as wild animals and plant life sought to destroy him to eradicate his superior form. The woman was born in a land among clever serpentine creatures, foraging beasts, and changing landscapes that required quick thinking. Thus, the attributes of men and women were formed.

Like you, I think it is sometimes difficult to write about something which has no interest for you. You need to be creative, imaginative and try to take place of somebody else who like it. However, when it comes about something you love or which affect your feelings or your life, your writing should be fluid because you want to share with others and let them know your experience, your opinions and your thoughts. However, the fact that your see yourself as a creative writer should help you to come out with some good ideas no matter the subject. Then, even if your writing wont be fun all the time, it is always better to say something rather than keep silence. When you say something you can be corrected, but when you stay quiet, you could evolve

In “How to Become a Writer” by Lorrie Moore, I found the narration to be interesting. The narrators dialogue allowed me to not just read the sentences but made me at times feel that I was actually there observing. This story is totally different from that of the other stories that I have read. While I did enjoy the structure of the dialogue with each encounter being a miniature story or experience of its own, the story does not have a traditional plot. The series of short choppy sentences was distracting at times. At times, I wondered what point Moore was trying to get across.
