Personal Narrative: A Career As A Writer

In the actual sense of the word to be a writer would mean anyone who has ever written before. Although I do not believe that definition is a true representation of the word. A writer is much more than that. To me, a writer is someone who writes for fun. Which could also be done professionally if they have a passion for writing. This writing could be of any genre. It could range from research to fiction. Also, the end result does not need to be anything significant. To be a writer you do not need to have published works. Writing in a journal, in my mind, would qualify you to carry the persona of a writer. The writing does not necessarily need to be long either. It could be as simple as a three lined poem, or as complicated as a textbook or novel.

I would not consider myself a writer by any means and I believe that a writer is everything I am not. A writer is someone who does not merely just write for entertainment or for recreation, a writer is someone who has perfected their area in writing and strives for perfection in all of their pieces. A writer tends to enjoy the writing process and continues to do what they are best at. A writer is someone who enjoys writing and is always content with writing, some writers may even use their writing as a profession. There are many ways to define a writer, and the best definition will come from a writer.

A good writer knows, at least a little, about how sentences work. A good writer can carry on a story without boring a reader. A good writer knows when to stop a bad idea, and how to create a great one. A good writer knows how to make their story work effectively in the reader’s mind.

As I stated in the introduction paragraph, writing is putting your thoughts into words and putting it on something that people can see. Writing has multiple styles, much like music does. Depending on how you write, you can convey different ideas and let people picture what you are writing about. For example, if you wanted to convey an horror setting, you can describe the atmosphere of the are the person is in and go into deep detail about what they see and feel. Writing needs a few things though, such as an audience, emotion, and logic. Using writing, you can tell entertaining stories to the masses, spread facts or your opinions to more people, and keep information for future generations to know what happened during the your age.

What is a writer? Many may picture those with a great love of books and literature, those who can find deeper symbolism and meaning behind stories that others write. However, this mold does not fit everyone. There are those, such as Linda Barry, who don't fit in with their fellow writers but still find success. In her comic Lost and Found, Barry uses her own life as an example to argue that one can find success as a writer despite not fitting in the box or possessing the skills typical of one.

Writing is very important to us humans and to the world. Writing is the way that you use written words to express your ideas, feelings, or opinions to others. A written article or essay can be composed of letters or characters that can serve as visible signs of ideas, words, or symbols. In writing, a writer or author can produce or make books, poems, essays, letters, articles, and reading journals that can help other people.

I never really thought about who I am as a writer. I have been in Lone Star for a year and this is my third English class. Out of the three classes, this class has challenged me in many ways, by organizing my thoughts, putting them into words, and writing something that will keep the reader’s interest. It has broadened my writing concept by writing essays, personal narratives, commentaries and research.

What makes someone a writer? That question doesn’t have an exact answer to me. Everyone is a writer and can write about absolutely anything that comes to mind. That’s what makes writing fascinating. Writing is essential today because it not only explains things and tells stories but we do it every day. There are so many different things to write about and aspects that define the kind of writer a person is.

To me, writing requires the strength of making logical words or composing text on paper. Every day through magazines, books, and poetry are examples of when writing is being utilized. Even though it is hard to express my feelings through essays, writing is how I express my thoughts, motivate others, and pour out my feelings.

Writing is the unlimited practice of expressing one’s own ideas and beliefs. It is complicated and confusing at times, but once you understand what the writer is trying to say, it becomes in adventure. For me writing is difficult because I truly never learned how to write. I struggled in English for SAT and in Reading for the SAT, but I always tried to better myself. I learned that writing isn’t about how the grammar necessarily, writing is about what the content is telling you. Writing is trying to grab the audience to read your story. It is your chance to have a voice and have chance for people to hear you. Writing is the necessity to learning and the necessity to life. It connects everyone around you with you. This practice will continue to flourish and will always be an important quality.

Imagine: a chubby six year old with dark brown hair and green eyes sits at a table writing in a notebook, her dark brows furrowed in concentration. A second grader with long, honey blonde locks walks up to the little girl and asks her what’s wrong. The six year old tells the girl she’s trying to write about “the real world” but is having trouble.

Writing is a written form of communication that has been used for hundreds of years to pass along information to other seeking it. Writing can make you feel emotions that everyday life may fail to provide you with. Writing can take you to places that only your childhood self would recall, when your imagination ran wild. On the other hand, writing can document the knowledge of others who thought that their ideas were worth the future generation’s time. Imagine how life would be if nothing was written down. If everything needed to be based off memory and others knowledge about a topic, it would be chaotic. Writing is also a process, it comes easy to some and is miserable for others. It comes with learning all the tricks to grammar, proper sentence

Have you ever read a book or listened to a speech that made you want to make something greater of your life and impact the world for the better. Writers use language to inspire people to be greater than they are. They create stories to show that people can be amazing and awe-inspiring. They show people that they can make the world a better place.

Writing is a subject that can be interpreted in many ways in life. Writing has been essential in the advancement of humanity. I have grown up using writing as a foundation to do everything. Knowing how to write has allowed people to complete the necessary work to move on to the next stage in society involving obstacles that are hindering, pursuing personal and professional goals while adapting, and develop a positive or negative perspective on what affects literacy has in the world. Everything revolves around being capable of understanding and communicating ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

That is something I have always thought about when I hear the word 'writer'. Nonetheless, as I got older I realised that writing is a lot more.
