Final: Wrap up the write up ▁▂▃▆▅█▇█▅▂▃▅▂▁ I've got bars!


        Writing. What to make of it. Most consider writing an art, expression of feeling and thoughts.  For me it was a mandatory job for a class; but that changed over time. This year I can see the  differences in my writing. One, my writing has improved by a long shot. Before I would slack and write some rubbish to just get it over with and done. For it was JUST homework right? Yeah, that didn’t turn out so well. Plus another thing was the fact that I wrote about my personal opinions and people just turned the tables on me because of my opinion. Funny thing is when those people spoke there opinion couldn’t be argued against. Weird.  My writing example here written by me, in my own personal view


“So this year I've realized a HUGE amount of people calling themselves "scene" or "emo". Well to be honest scene and emo their related. Scene is a form of emo.”


I didn’t think my opinion would stir so much controversy. But my wording  was not well written, and it stirred uprising. I can’t possible imagine what I was thinking when I wrote that. It was in a very informative structure and not very specific. Nevertheless it was a lesson learned and not forgotten. But the writing that I am most proud of is my vignettes. This type of poetical, transitional, intensely illustrative writing is the easiest and most entertaining for me. From childhood I was completed drowned in the fact that poetry was so vast. Clearly my writing about my friends here is here :

    “The warm sun refracts light on our skin as we walk down the street.  Kasia, Meriam, Kathy, & I strolling down the grey pavement under our nimble feet. As we escorted our bodies forward, I thought of the simple fact we were all alike yet so mismatched, like the socks I wore”.


This here about my friends Kasia, Meriam and Kathy is a master piece, just like our friendship. I really wanted to write an ode to these amazing people, but a vignette that was the longest in this project and most descriptive was for them and them only. Cherish ones you love, was my mind set when writing this. Without these three peanuts, I couldn’t of faced ASTI and how rigorous it is. Okay, done with the emotional talk, time to speak about what I improved on!

           Death is quick. Death is slick. Elsewhere, is the story of a young girl who’s taken out of life’s hands. This book I wrote about compared to all the rest was so much better for my book finals. My word choice was broad, my mind was open and plus I had read the book a time before. I wish I could copy and paste everything I wrote to show you, but that would just drive you crazy wouldn’t it? Enough with the chit chat lets see what wrote!:
“I think the  author in the book Elsewhere, the writer  Gabrielle Zevin chose to write about this topic because of the fact she wanted to entertain her readers. Yes that is common for all books, but hers is more of a twist. It is about a 15 year old girl named Liz who gets hit by a car and realizes that she has died. The character, Liz, does NOT seem to care very much after the emotional few minutes of apprehending that she is in fact "alive" in the after life. How can I say this? Because in the back of the book, it explains why the author choose this story, and if she really even cares about the after life, which she sates that she could careless.”Following this further, you can see the better and more clearly I write. I took time and effort to get to this stage of course. I realized writing from the heart really captivates the audience better. Otherwise people would probably be drooling on their desktops because of the sheer boredom I created. On the other hand, there is some really crappy writing I have done, especially during the beginning of the year. Some work I was not able to finish and follow up with. This was because of the fact I was slow and lagging behind. For example:


“What is fasion? Most people say its a career. But to me, it's a way of expressing yourself, with color, design, innovation, self style, and your inner person." 


   Do you see it? It’s a pretty dumb mistake in the writing. I was too dumb to even notice it. My 6 year old cousin could probably make it out. Mmmhmmmm. Thats correct, this fool over here ↵(*hint*me) can’t even spell fashion, geez! Where was my mind! Even more hysterical, I can’t even spell is. These are words kindergartners know and I fail. Look here
“My style ish crazy.”       
Wait for  it......
“ From all of this, All I can say is, what you wear, shows the people around you, in one context who you are.”


   Really? I can’t spell or use correct grammar for almost ever sentence. Sigh this is when I get a slap in the face. Writing takes a vivid imagination, knowing your audience, and determination that writers block won’t stop you. Writers block was a big tradgety for me and I bet for a lot of you. But practice after practice I was able to write so much better and faster than before. Writers block was something that drove me bonkers when it hit. Thankfully, having Mr. Sutherland as a sensational teacher, helped me write so much faster. I would have horrible freeze moments when I would stare open to the world, mind shut. It was if my gears weren’t oiled, and I was immobilized like the tin man in The Wizard Of Oz.  It gets annoying when I can't write very much, and gets me stressed too. Stress for me was the acid on the wound, and kept me from writing. Besides writers block this was just as bad.


   Topics to choose from were insanely fun. The marvelous thing about blogging is that my opinion stays open and that I can. Watching movies, reading books or hearing the radio. Mostly Dr.Oz was the one I think I owe thanks to who helped me realize issues I could blog about. A little puzzle piece which fell in place. Like my blog about drugs, which was originally for Mrs. Corbally’s class. Even though it wasn't read by her I realized I really did like that piece because after an episode of his show realization hit me about drug use in America. Good times, good times.I guess this is the end of my school writing blogging, unless I do more which is what I plan. 




Organization for my blog was horrible and really didn't go so well in the beginning of the year because I didn't take advantage of what I was supposed to do. But later I realized my computer had helpful apps for me to use for writing. So I got me in shape to write so much quicker, better and faster. 
Overall writing for me wasn’t a challenge till I made my mind assume it was. But now I can think free, write free (with shipping and handling), but wait there’s more! I can write with confidence, for it breaks down walls of my own security. Stinky poo poo ♨
