Personal Narrative: A Career As A Writer

I previously attended Texas A&M University and received a degree in Political Science. I found myself writing many papers for this field but mostly research papers. Although I have this experience in writing, they were mostly just regurgitating information in an organized way.

I know the feeling all too well of how life seems to move too fast. When I was in High School, I spent most of my summers at writing camps, and internships. By the time I knew it my senior year was beginning. It was the time for me to apply for the serious scholarships that would get me into prestigious colleges. So for me this was an opportunity I could not screw up, but in the back of my mind I knew I would never be a senior in high school again. The idea of all this troubled me for the beginning of my senior year.  When the submission date of my scholarships came near, the stress was eating me alive. So with most issues people try to face themselves, most end up asking someone they trust. The person I trusted the most was my mentor, and Father. Who

I switched back and forth between tabs as I waited for something new to appear, so it could entertain my mind. Why was no one online at three in the morning? And why did I still have an incomplete book in front of myself?

Hello everyone my history as a writer is something odd, but I know for sure my age will grow and my history will as well. Whenever I have ever felt the need to write on my own I like to write what I am feeling even if it doesn't make sense. I like to think of myself as a person who sees life in a good perspective. I was interested in creative writing because I love to write about anything where I can show my creativity. So far I am enjoying this class. What I want to get out of this class is new writing techniques and to look at things differently. I enjoy writing about how I feel sometimes it can be about something good and something bad. I began to write when I was younger I came to this country 22 years ago as a very young lady. Who knew

For the past four years, I have been involved with the production of The Rubicon and RubicOnline, St. Paul Academy and Summit School’s monthly hybrid newsmagazine. During my time on staff, I learned how to lead, prioritize deadlines, and overcome obstacles.

There are writers and there are readers, I prefer to be placed in the categories of a reader. I will love to be called a writer, but I have a lot of complications when it comes to writing. For a starter I am not excellent at spelling so I get uncertain about writing. I pass my high school writing test with a decent grade, which I believe was a miracle. I may not be firm in writing, but I make sure that I do my best when it's mandatory. I'm not a big fan of writing but I write two to three hundreds words a day through social media. The site that I accomplish the most writing on is Facebook. whenever my friends post a picture or a funny video I intent to comment on it and my friend will response to that comment which will resolve in comments

Today, I was given the worst news that I could have possibly been given at the age of 20, I cannot write. The feelings and emotions of disappointment and anger creepered into my head as my boss broke the news to me. While he was informing me of my needless word usage and horrific sentence structure, I thought, “Wow, previously before this very moment I was feeling ecstatic. I had been learning many things, more than I have learned during a week of college, and yet I fell short.” After crucially critiquing my skill level he had advised me to read “the elements of style.” After skimming through the first few pages, I knew that there was hope for me to become a better writer. So, instead of crying my eyes out, I set my goal which is becoming a

Whenever I engage myself in a book or any kind of article, the only ones that mostly catch my eye are the ones that make me feel like I’m completely captivated into the world of the writer. This experience is what inspired me to start writing. As I matured, I had begun to find a deep interest in the journalistic world of the fashion industry. The thought of the combination between English literature with fashion completely astonished me at a young age the more I researched over what fashion exactly was. To me fashion is the ultimate way to artistically express a person’s individual style. It’s a way to tell a story, a mood, or even a personality. The way it can define a person inspires me. The types of colors you choose, the statement accessories, the various types of styles, can all come together to create a unique style of each and every person in the world.

For many years, they lived on campus in Margaret Nance because she was a RA and we laughed and talked about the highs and lows about living on campus; Summers used to be a driver for Pepsi and didn't have a clue to what he was doing when he first got the job, but has endurec being here over two decades. Alford worked here part-time while she attended Winthrop and after graduating she had a daughter five days later and decided to become full-time. Entering the building, one is blinded with awards from SCPA given to these great writers for the many great articles they've all written over the past 15 years. All in all, everyone seems content in what they do, but unfortunately, they haven't gotten a raise in nine years (how awful is that)?

While I am good with transitions, I am not as good as I could be. Looking over my papers, I see where it is pointed out that I could put them in at certain places, and as soon as I see it, I am like oh yeah that is a good place for one. I also find that as I write I bounce back and forth between past tense and present tense, making my writing a bit disjointed and possibly hard to follow. I also got nailed on one, only one, but still one comma splice. Along the same lines, I either overuse or underuse the comma. I am slowly learning where they actually belong and where they do

I was never was a strong reader or writer when I was younger. I never excelled in these subjects because I am such a literal thinker. I always enjoyed having straight forward questions and straight forward answers as they do in math and sometimes science. So thinking out the box was out of the question. I did do good in my English classes in school mostly because I enjoyed seeing at an "A" on my report card. Though I never really enjoyed writing, it never was much of a burden to me because I knew I had to do it. I only write when I have to. So whenever I do start writing I try to make it as good of a paper as possible. I am no writer so good can only go so far. I never was into having to worry about spelling and punctuation (mainly because

What is a writer? A writer is a person who writes stories, books, poems ect. Throughout my early years of school when it came to writing I felt that it was never my strong suit. There are many difficulties people face when writing, some that I have faced was writers block and proper grammar. When an essay or writing assignment was giving it would take me hours to complete due to writer’s block. I had a hard time organizing thoughts and not being able to stay focused this made it difficult to write. That was one major reason but another was grammar, punctuation plays a huge role. When writing Not knowing where to place certain marks and commas also made writing difficult for me to write a proper essay. Writing for me had been a challenge but has gotten better with time.

"Louis McClymont, the nurse will see you know."As I took the dreaded walk to treatment room B, my fear of needles began to take over, the only time I ever had a jag before was when I was a baby, and that was too long ago to remember. I took a seat on the administering table; the nurse could see my body was shaking with fear. She tried to distract me from the enormous needle that was heading my way. "You're having a jag for yellow fever, where are you going?"

I love to write. Writing for me comes naturally; as I have been doing it for as long as I can remember. My first strength, when it comes to writing, is that I have a mind full of things to unleash upon the world. However, that particular strength can become a weakness because it causes the bad habit of rambling away from a chosen topic. My second strength is that I love writing; love it so much that I have written and published a science fiction book. On the other hand, my greatest weakness is formatting my writing to adhere to academic standards. As a result, my work sometimes gets too personal and mimics my love of writing science fiction. As was previously stated,

While writing might seem like a limited career, there are thousands of opportunities and jobs available in the writing industry. With a writing degree, one can go into well-known careers such as; an Author, Blogger, or Freelancer. On the other hand, some lesser-known careers include Screenwriting, Copywriting, and Short Story writing. Out of all of the options available, I would like to study the career path to becoming a Screenwriter, while exploring what the expectations of the job are, the education needed, what the future holds, and the connection to society it provides.
