There are many ways in which I feel open when it comes to writing. First of all, I've been writing since I was a little girl. Next, I have to write a diary at school; finally, my real feeling about writing assignments. When it comes to writing it makes me feel good as a person. It helps me express my feelings in a better way. I would rather write what I think about things than talk about them. I feel like I'm listened to when someone reads what I've written. If I could write things down in every situation I find myself in; I would like. I wouldn't talk at all, plus I would just write everything down. First of all, I've been writing since I was a child. I started writing at a young age. I wrote diaries and also wrote little stories. Writers are somehow gifted with finding meaning for themselves and helping others find it (Bunting). I mean, like no other kid I knew. I wrote as if I were paid to write. I was about four years old when I wrote stories, even though I made them up and doodled, I was still creative as a child. By the age of six I was writing real stories and my handwriting was better at that age. I was making little books out of paper and drawing pictures of my story that I was writing like a little pro. At the age of eight everyone liked the way I wrote stories. People said I would be a writer when I grew up. They were surprised that I was writing stories at that age. When I turned ten I slowed down in writing because my brother was jealous of me, but at the time I didn't know I was doing it. I didn't do this until around twelve before I noticed that my brother was just plain jealous. I go to my brother so he can read my s...... middle of paper ......about things rather than telling feelings better when I write, it's just a part of me. Works Cited1 . Joe Bunting.
