why I write reading

In the reading i liked how it said I I I as in why I write listen to me and what I have to say. That was a good point when you write people get to read your thoughts emotions and what you put down on the page. she was very random and hard to follow in the beginning while she was talking about her learning style which i believe is visual. this relates with out new topic that we were just assigned. Joan Didion said when someone writes they saying what they believe in, or telling a life story...I liked how she said it was like a secret bullying. "All I knew then was what I wasn’t" I can related to this because I am undecided and am having a hard time figuring out who i want to be seeing as i will be stuck with that for a while. I don't want to be someone who hates their job and is miserable. I also liked the quote "I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. This can be true writing helps people express themselves. this quote touched me and i found it interesting. Also when she brings up how one word can change a sentence, and on sentence can changes a paragraph, and so on. that is true to be a writer you have to be smart minded on the work you are putting out. This reading was much better then the last one. It makes me realize i am indeed not a writer, i will just have to settle for reading other peoples work.
