AmIAWriter?

I do not consider myself a writer. Not in the slightest bit. I don't know why I have never had any kind of passion for it, I just don't enjoy it. There are many things that I would rather be doing instead. To me, a writer is someone that writes with a purpose. People that spend time throughout their days expressing their emotions through journals, diaries, and blogs are writers. There are many other forms such as news reporting and song writing but I would never be interested in that. I feel that to consider myself a writer, I would do it on my free time. The only times that I have ever written anything were during school. I had many different writing assignments throughout my high school and middle school years and I have enjoyed writing some of them. For example, I enjoy writing persuasive research essays and sometimes poems, but I would never do it by choice. This blog is something that I don't mind doing, however, I don't have a blog of my own because I don't like publishing my life online. Maybe once I am completely out of school, I will change my views on writing, but until then it is just a chore.

  1. Hopefully, writing is a bit more tolerable in this class, Katie.

    Also - it bears mentioning that you can publish more than your "life" on a blog. Some people just use them to discuss politics or music...
