I Am Good At ………
The sound of a pencil sharpening gives me chills. Getting a new idea makes me absolutely happy. The pencil hitting the paper as it starts to write like it knows what I’m thinking. The smile on my face when I know I’ve finished a story that I put my heart into. I am good at writing stories.
First I have to get inspired. Before I write a story I have to read or write about something that’s going on in my life just to get stuff of my chest. I think it’s very easy to inspire me into writing a story. It feels like I have a new story like every day. After today I already got inspired to write a new story and I can’t wait to start writing it.
Second I’m like to make my stories fun. When I write something it sounds boring to me so I have to spice it up or no one will read it. I always do twist like real authors do and it’s amazing it’s why when people read a book and there’s a twist at the end the person can’t wait for the next book and they get hooked. I want to be that kind of stories so I make my stories fun and silly just like I am in real life.
Third I put myself and my friends in the story. If you ever read one of my stories you will always see some of my personality or Maia’s or my other friends. My prediction is when an author writes a novel or story they always put a little of them self in the main character or a different character. I think that if you read one of my stories you won’t like it because I believe that they are not your style.
So what if I like listening to pencils sharpen it gets me excited. Sure I look like a weirdo when you see a goofy smile on my face that means I have a new idea. Yes, the pencil knows what I’m thinking because I’m moving it and it can read my mind. So I will follow my dreams and no one in the whole entire world can destroy my dream because I am a good writer.
