Jack:A Writer
Reflections of a 11 year old writer
I'm a Writer Who
I'm a writer who does not like to share my work. I sometimes like to write but not during my free time. I'm not really confident about my work. My fears of writing are that I will make a careless mistake. My strengths are personal narratives and life experiences.
Inspiration
My inspiration comes from life experiences. My other inspiration comes from books I have read. I also get inspiration from nature.
Genre
I normally write Non-Fiction. I also like to write Fiction. I try to avoid poetry. I need to try working out of my safe zone and try writing in new styles
Process
I like to edit as go along so I can change things right away. I don't think that I'm that good at revising is one of my weak points in writing.
A Memorable Experience
The time I Cracked my Head Open
One day I was home with my baby sitter and we were playing a game then I was jumping from one bed to the other and then my baby sitter said I'm going to make lunch. Then I ask if I can jump one more time and she says no but I don't l listen and then I jump and I miss by like a inch and i hit my head on the steel frame. Then it starts spewing blood all over the place and my baby sitter was about to walk down the stairs and she just sees it happen. Then we stuck a bandaid on it to stop bleeding and my baby sitter calls her sister to check on me to see if i'm okay. Then my parents come home and take me to the hospital and I have to get stitches. I think this story helped me write because it is like the first thing I can remember that happened to me. I learned that life experiences are good to write about because you tell in your perspective.
