Thomas: A Writer
Reflections Of A 12-year Old Writer
I'm A Writer Who...
I am a writer who likes to write about interesting events about my life. I like writing non fiction stories and personal narratives. I am confident in my writing and try hard to do my best. If the teacher calls on me, I will share my work and present it in front of the class. I can tell that this year is going to be a great year to expand my writing skills and think outside of the box!
Inspiration
There is a lot of activity in my household. With five children and my parents there is never a dull moment. All the vacations and activities I do with my family gives me inspiration. If you haven't noticed yet, most of my writings have included my family members. It can be one of the prettiest beaches ever or it could be a sunset on the Skidaway River. Either way I get inspiration with my family and always will.
Genres
I like to use different types of genres when I write. My favorite stories to make are personal narratives. I like personal narratives the most because I have a better idea of what happens in the story. Also I like to share interesting things in my life. On the other hand, I am not the type of person that writes fiction. I don't enjoy making up stories about fake animals and special powers. Thats a bit about what genres I like.
Process
The process of my writing goes like this. First, I think of a good subject and plan it out on a piece of paper. Second, I make a rough draft at the best of my ability. Next, I edit my paper then usually get a couple friends or my parents to read the story. Finally, I make the changes and print it out once I have double check the story. That is the process of my writing.
A Memorable Experience
In fifth grade I wrote a story that was about me going to Australia for a week. Even though I have never been, I gave specific details about what I saw. I made it sound like I had been there before. This was really memorable to me because I worked on it for a good amount of time and put my best effort into it. I noticed that I could make realistic fiction stories of my own. This was very memorable to me and put me on a different level of writing.
Writing Goals
- Be a greaT writer.
- To use better grammar.
- Use bigger words in my writing.
- Improve my writing this year.
