What Does Writing Mean To Me

What is the Meaning of Writing? Writing is enjoyable, calm, dreadful, and ghastly. These are some example of what people say about writing. It’s how people express themselves. How we tell others our stories, adventures, and our heroes. It is how we communicate without talking. Authors write to show their feelings, experiences, or stories they want to share. Take others to their own world. In fact writing means different things to everyone.

Writing is a skill that many authors use to show their style or qualities. Writing is such a great experience and it allows you to tell stories, or speak your opinions. It gives you opportunities to speak up and show your worth. There is two important steps for writing, one is to always think positive, and two is always believe in what you have to say. Many people struggle with writing at times and that's because they haven't thought out their ideas all the way or showed their full potential yet. It takes time to become a good 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.

My relationship with writing could have culminated into three words; fear, quality, and of course no relationship is complete without excitement. Like any new relationship, emotions can determine the success or demise of the relationship. These emotions all work to the betterment of the writer and the writing relationship, each emotion feeding ever so slightly off one another. Exploring these writing relations reveal the truth where my writing relationship is concerned.

Everyone knows what writing is to one extent or another, but we all have different definitions of how it should be done and varying degrees of seriousness about the art. We all have a process of writing, but each is unique to ourselves and our own experiences. Annie Dillard and Stephen King are two well known authors who have published many pieces, two of which describe how they view the writing process and let their readers get a peek of what goes on through their minds when they write. These two pieces are Dillard’s The Writing Life and King’s “What Writing Is.”

Flannery O’Connor, a great American novelist, once said that she writes because “I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” Writing is not just a torture device that English teachers bestow on students. We write for the ability to express ourselves and to set memories in stone for the future.

Why I Write, by Mark Batterson, was a video that caught my attention because of the way he observes writing. Batterson sounded enthusiastic about writing for passion rather than just money, or being the best-seller. He make the viewers see writing from a new window, or maybe his words really affected me. When Batterson mentions, “ If all people do is read my books, then I have failed them… I want my words to inspire people” (Batterson 0:29-0:37). When he said this, I was like wow! I had never tought of myself failing, yet we both have the same purpose which is to be there for our readers; help them out discover, and cause motivation. Indeed he has encouraged me into writing in anew way. I want my writing to be powerful and motivating even

In “Why I Write” by Terry Tempest Williams, she deliberates the development and affect of writing from the mind. Through the internal destruction of emotions, the reconstructing of the words, and the influence writing has in this world, Terry Williams causes us to reevaluate the meaning of writing and how people write for different reasons. In the introduction of the story, we are given an image of the setting, and an indication of where the story will lead. “It is just after 4:00 a.m. I was dreaming about Moab, Brooke and I walking around the block just before dawn.

Writing is my thing, and I can’t help but do it every day! To me, it’s a talent, it comes as an urgent call of nature that must be appeased. I have been writing since 2012, which means, we are talking of more than four years of content creation. I base my writing solidly on research and facts. I understand that the key reason for online writing is to engage readers and softly provoke them to take the intended action.

Through all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and passion I have for my personal beliefs and values. If there is no struggle, there is no progress, with drive and a bit of hard work you can move mountains. Based on hard work and success, it goes hand in hand because life is designed to be tough. When I was 14 years old, I realized how important writing is in our everyday life. I realized that writing was something important in my life and it has changed my personal life. In my freshman year in High School during “Career Day,” one of the presenter who was a writer, helped me understand how important writing is.

Writing and reading for me started really young with me. I was learning to read and write before I was 2. My mom was teaching me and I had a Phonex person come to my house and would help. I was a year younger than almost everybody else in my kindergarten class. I was able to go into school younger because I scored high enough on a test I had to take. I was always reading books when I could when I was young which is why I was able to read bigger words than most kids my age could. I was able to read at a 4th grade level when I was in 1st grade. This all fell in place because my dad was always telling me to read and write when I had free time if I wanted to be better than everybody. When I was younger I always trying to be better

I don't write very often but when I do I write about things that have meaning to me, unless it's a school related essay. If it's not a school related essay, my writings are wither songs or I will write the occasional poem from time to time.

As a young girl, I was an avid reader who hated writing. I viewed writing as a chore which only involved checking for grammatical errors, and I couldn't understand why anyone would seriously enjoy writing. I would stay up all night to try to hurry and finish stacks of library books. I once came very close to the checkout limit at my local library, which is 20, and I checked out 18. I spent many summers reading, which I found much more enjoyable than being outside in scorching weather.

For the college student, motivation is a personal aspiration with much hard work. The college writing student will focus on increasing writing abilities and becoming a better writer by class end. With a deep-rooted motivation, the learning to write process will continue to be built and perfected over the course of the student’s time in school. For example, I feel that I can write well, yet there are areas that need improvement, like increased vocabulary and decreased compound-complex sentences. Therefore with each class that I take, my writing abilities can be expanded and practiced, building upon what I have already learned and observing new ways to apply my writing skills. My motivation is to accomplish greater polished writing skills and more personal success in writing. Motivation is the driving force found in the heart and mind that makes goals and dreams happen.

My definition of writing is the act and process of expressing feelings and information through different forms of texts such as an essay or a book for entertainment, conveying information, etc. I made this definition because I feel that it represents writing in my life the best. In my life, I mainly write to present information that I have found on a topic for my class in school. Your not only expressing your feelings on the topic, but other’s that you have researched about the topic’s feelings. I then added the how the information is presented as part of my definition because I feel that the way you present it, whether through an essay or an article, can be important. If you present a research paper as a poem, the information presented won’t seem as strong as it would be as if it were presented through an article. Then I added the part about expressing feelings in my definition because of the books and magazines I read. Through the books and magazines I read, I can tell when the author is trying to express feelings or emotions.
