Chapter Two:Myself, the Writer Many times I find myself just rambling a list of events when writing. I do not enjoy writing but I do not hate it. My goal this year for me as a writer is to get better at making my writing pieces a fun story to read and not just a boring list of events.

My favorite author is definitely Gary Paulsen. Gary Paulsen

The reader-writer activity we did on block day made me about a lot of things, like communication. Communication is importanat when writing and reading, because you have to understand what your writing or reading about. Along the way, you have to picture inyour mind how it is described to you. If it is not written descriptive enough, you won't be able to image it the way the author is trying to speak out you (message/image).

What are your thoughts about you as the writer? My thoughts about myself as a writer is I’m pretty confident in my writing but their are a few things I need to work on.

I am Mariela Barragan and I am in your Tuesdays and Thursdays Freshman Composition class. To me a writer is someone who is creative, who really loves to write, and someone that can express ideas and feelings into words and puts it out there for others to read about. I don't consider myself to be a writer because first of all I don’t like writing and second of all I have a lot of difficulty expressing my ideas into words. I don’t like writing.

They do not care for anything else except to mess with your writing. This is especially hard for me because I will

When you read something you do not want to just read it and not learn anything from it, then there would have been no purpose in reading it. Writers do not just write papers so they can tell the reader what is right or wrong. They write to explain their theory, to make others understand where they are coming from and the logic behind them.

How writing can change a life by learning to be more creative, focused and by choosing new opportunities every day. While several factors come to mind as I ponder the challenges of becoming an effective writer and continuing my education.

Growing up writing an essay or a story wasn’t always as important as sending that one text out to a friend. Many times instead of working on an assignment people tend to text, and write on social media instead. Although by doing this in the end, you are still writing, although for some it doesn’t count as that text
