Being an amateur writer, I write for pleasure and/or personal expression but have limited experience or formal training in the craft of writing. I find it challenging to express my thoughts and ideas effectively or to structure my work in a coherent and engaging way. I may make common writing mistakes such as using cliches, using passive voice, or making spelling and grammatical errors. I believe, with time, practice, and feedback from others, I can develop my skills and grow into a more accomplished writer.
