How I feel about writing (Allie Akins)

I have always enjoyed writing starting from when I was a young middle schooler. There was a time where I thought I was going to write a book but then I got stumped and didn’t know where to go next. From then on out, I mostly just did writing for school but through that, I found things that interested me that I enjoyed writing about such as persuasive essays about things I was passionate about and narrative essays as well. Since high school, I have not done much personal writing, I’ve tried my hand at a blog a couple of times but I could never find something that I enjoyed writing about day in and day out. Usually when I am writing, I choose to do it at my desk on my computer usually with music playing in the background. I’ve always found that I write better with headphones in because I am able to block the world out and focus on the task at hand. I feel like I am more successful when it comes to in school writing because I have a very hard time sticking with something to write about and when you are doing writing for school, they tend to give you some expectations to work towards. I would eventually like to do some of my own personal writing again. I like the idea of a blog because of all the personality that goes with writing a blog; I just have to find something that interests me enough to encourage me to keep writing instead of stepping away from it again.

     I love writing, it gives us ways to express ourselves in ways other than verbally speaking. I don't like when there's a guideline I have to follow when writing.  I like writing stories, like on Wattpad. Most of the stories I write are urban stories. It lets me put me free time into things that make me happy, like telling stories. When making these stories, I type them onto Wattpad using either my phone or computer. Out of school writing writing is better because its free handed with no guidelines, while in school writing has rubrics that have to be followed and most of the time we're writing about things that don't even matter to us as students.
