    When you are young, writing is basically a chore that you must do for school or torture. All the words, thoughts, ideas running around in their heads, never stopping even for a second, or nothing coming up and having to spend most of the time figuring what you are going to write. The deadline crushing them and stressing them out, hoping to finish in time. I was like that, the only time I would write was for school or if there was something that needed me to write. Even then I did not do the best

    I will admit that, when I first saw the class "Professional Writing," I thought it would just be something I would have to get through to achieve my Creative Writing degree. In the beginning of the course, I still felt that way. My personas back in Week One were somewhat half-hearted and lacking in detail.

    As a creative writer, I stand apart from the rest. When I was a child, I never found reading fun or an activity I would do on purpose. The thought of reading different combinations of phonetic symbols for hours on end didn’t sound like an ideal Saturday afternoon.

When I am inspired I think I do fairly well with the creative parts of writing but I allow the rules to fall by the wayside. I strive to do better with my grammar because I know it is essential in order for my writing to be best understood but I still struggle. I have also struggled with dyslexia and the problems which come with that. The rules of grammar can be frustrating to me, especially when there seem

    Creative writing is a difficult process, often prone to failure. Upon hearing my frequent complaints regarding the activity, my friends often ask me why I bother with the business at all. There are several reasons why I write. However, to say that there is any one specific explanation would be incorrect and would oversimplify the subject.

    “As long as you guys don’t quote me, I can tell you I believe the killer was taller than five foot nine and shorter than six foot three. As you know, we have a formula for everything,” she said joking. “We came up with this calculation based on different criteria - the force used to split her skull, the angle of attack, and so on.
