I do not consider myself that much of a writer considering I do not enjoy writing papers much. I write what I must, and that is probably what contributes to my mediocrity in that area. I DO KNOW THIS MUST CHANGE! I am no good with grammar and structure unless I work on the paper for a long time. This morning I was finishing my draft for essay number one and I got writers block about 5 times and started thinking about other things. I do enjoy reading other peoples writing though! If I had to categorize myself I would call myself a “jotter” (if that’s even a word). Since I can remember I’ve been making lists. Lists for school, things I wanted, things I collected, even friends and boys ha ha. I had notebooks and legal pads that basically were inventories of my life. Pokémon cards were on lists, neopets had a list, heck just about everything had a list! I also wrote a children’s story over the course of 3 years that is still incomplete. I have 15 pages so far but after got writers block. Ideas come to my mind but I have a hard time getting them onto paper. That is my biggest issue in writing and why I do not consider myself to be one.

ReplyDeleteThis is interesting, Gabby - I've studied the "writer's block" phenomenon a bit. I'd be interested in hearing you describe this disconnect.
