Howdy. I like to read more than write, I'm better at reading, but I do have some good ideas for stuff I could write about. In my humble opinion, a writer is defined by what he writes. What you think about usually makes itself manifest through what you write about. My experience as a writer is mainly limited to school, but I have tried to start many books in my spare time. I don't have the attention span to keep a journal.
Writing is fun because you can create your own little world, and control what goes on there. I like writing short stories, mainly, but once again, I have tried writing a few novels in my spare time. I would like to be writer, but I don't think I can be, just because of my goldfish attention span, and the fact that I can't write good dialog to save my life.
I'm the same. I'd like to write in my spare time, but I'm terrible with conversations. I think I'm better at describing things. One way to be a better writer is to be simple. It 's a good thing you like reading, because becoming a writer starts with becoming a good reader.
ReplyDeleteWe all have different strengths as a writer. I feel like I'm really good at dialogue, but not as good at description. We'll do some fun dialogue assignments this semester- so you'll have the opportunity to improve.
