Journal 1

I would consider myself a writer because I do enjoy writing. However, i don't enjoy every type of writing. I took a creative writing class my senior year that showed me another side of writing besides mindless research papers that were on topics that i had no interest in. Being able to write what I wanted and expressing myself how I wanted made me realize I have an interest in writing. When I'm writing for school, especially research papers, I'm writing for a grade. I don't really write for leisure during my free time. During this semester I'm hoping to learn something new about writing and find a way to better my writing through the novels we read this semester.
