Feminist writers

My personal experience, as a writer, is limited only to the days it was required of me, which led to a lack of understanding of a writer’s style and a bad reputation and relationship with past English educators. I never really enjoyed writing, I but always admired reading the works of famous writers, who had the gift of self-manifestation. However, I always seemed to complete the task without any sort of passion or interest. Writing was simply a required aspect of earning a grade. I felt limited

To read like a writer is to build like an architect, I know you may ask yourself how are the two comparable? How does building help me to “read like a writer” ? In The article “How to Read Like a Writer” author Mike Bunn discussed techniques you can use to construct your own writing style and to better help you understand what you are reading. There were many great tips he gave in what to look for when reading, but i will only list the technique i feel are most useful in the beginners stage of

“I am not by any means a competent writer.” This was the first sentence in my introduction for my first journal assignment. However, over the last eight weeks in this course, I have proven this statement false. I now realize, that I have always been a competent writer, but I was not a confident one. Therein was the problem, my confidence level. This issue caused me to struggle and question everything in the writing process, from grammar to thesis statements. The mere idea of writing an essay sent

In “ Shitty First Drafts”, college graduate and writer Anne Lamott describes the process of writing a “shitty first draft” and why it’s recommended. She explains how very few good writers can write a great first draft. She describes how many writers end up pouring all of their thoughts and emotions into the terrible first draft in order to create an overall better paper. These drafts aren’t planned out but instead just happen, and most writers don’t even know they actually made. She goes on to states

“By which I mean not a “good” writer or a “bad” writer but simply a writer, a person whose most absorbed and passionate hours are spent arranging words on pieces of paper. Had my credential been in order I would never have become a writer. Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind there would have been no reason to write. I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at what I see and what it means.” I know several people who would fit this description, they write

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” Ernest Hemingway This is the way I actually perceive writing. It is painful to write for everyone, but for someone relatively inexperienced, it is more tiring and less gratifying. Though it is a necessary pain to subsist in a world where communication is the core of our societies. Thus, I shall learn that aptitude or drawn into oblivion. Writing is far from being appealing to me but it isn’t appalling too. The only

I have a love-hate relationship with writing. I can write well according to some of my peers; though this could just be from the fact that I seem like the quiet, studious, type who has spent most of her time with the straight "A" nerds who went on to top tier schools such as Stanford. Sometimes I am not too sure of my own writing abilities. On most essays, I get a little bit above average grades and every once in a while I get a few more points than usual. I have noticed that my writing is better

Through fiction writing, authors are capable of revealing truths that are not blatant in reality. A controversial writer, sparks thoughts in reader’s minds and has an influence on their lives. Ernest Hemingway tried to relate with his readers on a level of reality by using a unique writing style and reflecting on life changing events that occurred in his life. Hemingway was able to reach people and change their behavior through his writing, so, would that reaction be the same if Ernest Hemingway’s

8th Grade Pre-Assessment Semester 1 These excerpts are two very different story, yet they have the same moral, it doesn’t matter what or who you are, it about what you can do. This essay is going to be about that, I will provide two pieces of dialogue and explain how they reveal aspects of the characters, and provide four incidents that propels the action in these two stories, and finally I will review everything in the passage below. In the excerpt “A Mother in Mannville” it says, “ Size don’t

always easy. When I open up a book I expect to be dragged into the story whether I want to be there or not. Authors live to write extraordinary pieces of literature that their readers don’t want to put down. They can do this because they are amazing writers. In my opinion a piece of writing cannot be good without an author that is beyond good. So many things in the writing must blend together to make a story.
