Why I Write

This selection was much more enjoyable than last weeks. In the beginning of the passage I almost felt that she had attention issues the way she talks about how she would start to write, and then begin thinking about something else. I am the exact same way, my work always seems to take way longer than it should because I just begin thinking about something else. It is not because I have attention deficit disorder, sometimes I just think about everything. This makes me think that I can not be a writer. The way she almost defines a writer as "a person whose most absorbed and passionate hours are spent arranging words on pieces of paper." That is not me at all, there are times when I may feel like writing but I would not consider myself the type of person who gets extremely passionate about what I write, I just want the assignment done.

I completely agree that grammar has infinite power. I mean one word change and the sentence can mean something else. I think people underestimate grammar a lot in the world today. I like the way she says she sees everything in her mind. I am also alike in that manner. I have a photographic memory and when people describe something, such as an assignment I almost paint a picture in my mind of what I want my assignment to be. Overall I enjoyed this reading, but like I said previously... it just makes me believe even more that I am not meant to be a writer.
