Kelsey: A Writer
Reflections of an 11 year old
I'm a Writer Who....
Yes, writing is fun for me, but I make it even more fun by putting every bit of feeling and emotion into it. The things that I write about are personal and meaningful to me because that's how I make myself proud of my writing. It's a way for me to express my feelings in everyday life and it makes me feel great and become more confident.
Inspiration
I get inspiration from my family and personal experiences. I feel like it makes it easier to write if you have done it and experienced it instead of just hearing about it.
Genre
I like to write about stories in my life but in different perspectives. It makes the story more interesting, I think. I like writing about any thing but, I don't really enjoy writing when someone tells me what to write about.
Process
I like to start out with doing a first rough draft that can be as messy as I want it. Then, I do another draft and check for misspelling and any words that sound funny and I want to switch out for a better one. After that, on the same sheet of paper check for capitals and punctuation. Finally, I type it up and make it neat.
A Memorable Expirence
Last year a friend and I wrote a poem together and we both felt the same way about writing, it was about finding who you are in the world and what your purpose is in the world. I remember the moment we finished reading it to the class, I heard applause and I can't remember a moment I was more confident in my life and after that I always wanted to write. I write in journals and on the computer. Since that day, every time I sit down to write I think of that moment.
