Kate: A Writer
The history of a self-conscious writer
I'm a Writer Who...
I'm a writer who loves to write but doesn't want anyone to see it. I will take ideas and write about it but will be too afraid to let anyone look at it. I am scared that whatever I write will be laughed a because it is too mature, out-of-the-box, or just plain strange. I can't make it go away. I can't help but care what people think about me. But I write because I love to do it.
Inspiration
I tend to get inspired when having conversations with my friends. They will say something and I will instantly think of a good storyline that could turn into something good.
Genre
I enjoy many different genres. Some of my favorites are fantasy, fiction, and realistic fiction. I do not enjoy historical fiction, mysteries, or biography.
Process
When I think of an idea I will instantly start writing a story. I tend to think up the story as I go and edit along the way. I will revise when the story is done and do a little more editing as well.
A memorable Expierience
Last year I was writing a story called The Wolf Pack. It was a chapter book. It was about a girl who lived in Alaska and met a clan of magical wolves and she had to save them from a deadly sickness. I thought it was the best piece I had ever don't even though I only got around three chapters into it. I will always remember that piece.
Sixth Grade Writing Goals
- In Sixth Grade I hope to broaden my vocabulary so my writing sounds better
- I want to learn how to write in different perspectives so that I can make my writing more interesting to an outside audience
- I would like to write stories in genres I haven't tried yet
- I want to complete a teen chapter book that I am happy with
