I don't have much to say about writing for myself. Writing doesn't mean much to me. I am not a writer. I am an orator. However, writing does mean something to my wife. I love my wife. She loves to write. She spends hours a day writing. I watch words flow from her fingertips as she writes page after page. She doesn't let me read much of what she writes, but when she does, I can see the passion and the joy that she has for what she writes about. I wish that I could write with such a fire.…

Readers and Writers One common myth about writing is that everything comes naturally to the writer, everything in literature comes easily and instinctually. However, in the article, “The Inspired Writer vs. The Real Writer” by Sarah Allen claims that there is no such thing as the “Inspired Writer”, it is simply a figure that writing comes easily to, a figure that doesn't truly exist, but the real writer comes with real struggles as well. In the article, “What is Academic Writing?” by L. Lennie Irvin states the meaning of what real academic writing is.…

Not only is it just memoir but it is a guidebook, that King relays his advice to aspiring writers. King’s purpose of his book is very clearly stated while at the same time it is vague.

“The Storyteller,” by Sandra Cisneros was an enjoyable read that took us along her adventure of becoming a writer. She talks about the many important parts in her life that set the right path for her success. How other friends, family, and other people were of a help to her rising in her career. Thought the article she would describe her self as “she”, which in other words, Cisneros would be talking from a third person point of view. This technique gave the reader the sense that she was telling us a story about someone life, almost like narrating. Which may explain the title of her article. Through her passive tone and storytelling sense it made me consider the career to be a writer. Like when a mom tells a story about a great knight to her…
A writer is what I aspire to be. You know when you're a kid and most of the other kids say they want to be a artist or an astronaut,but I wanted to be an author. I assumed this just because I had quality English grades and I had a strong interest in reading, but as I got older I found the power of words to be the best way to express myself. I learned to create stories that help people see things differently, that bring new ideas to my readers. Later I started to look back at the authors that changed my life, children’s authors such as Jan brett, and Kate Dicamillo taught me how to use creativity as a superpower.…
When people think of authors, they more than likely just think about the people who write books. The world is filled with authors that people do not consider to be authors.
