journal 8

Journals- When writing a journal, I usually just write about whatever comes to my mind. I don’t second guess what I’m saying in journals, since journals are my own ideas and thoughts. I feel free writing journals. As if everything I say is right. I don’t mind writing them at all and would much prefer writing them instead of essay’s any day of the week.

Creative writing is similar to journals in my opinion. Although I don’t feel as free doing creative writings, I still have more options when writing them. I can make my writing unique and “creative”. I enjoy making up stories from my imagination since they will always interest me. That is how I write them, I just write about the most creative idea I can think of and let my mind do the thinking while my hand continuously are typing.

Essays- I actually despise writing essays. Every time I hear the word essay I think of English class and school. Not saying that there is anything wrong with English, however, it usually means homework and a lot of time that I would rather not spend typing on my computer. There are always requirements for essays and you must make sure that you fulfill them appropriately to receive a decent grade. When I write essays I just aim to get them done. I never really thought about how I mentally write them, I’m just anxious to finish them.

Poems- Poems are very fun in my opinion. They are numerous types of poems that enable me to choose a different type at any time. I like forming rhyming poems, because they sound really cool when they are read and it’s challenging to determine a word that rhymes and actually makes sense for each line of the poem. In poems you can include any type of writing style, such as iambic pentameter, which makes them enjoyable. When I write poems I always think about how to make it sound cool and deep. I try and put as much thought into each word and line as possible.

I’m not going to lie. I really don’t like writing too much. You need to write for every class and subject in school, which is obviously irritating. I don’t mind taking notes and writing information about science for example. However, writing essays, are extremely boring.
As I have grown up my vocabulary has enhanced and I have been using larger words in my writing pieces. I used to stick to the 3 letter words which everyone knew the meaning of. Now, I might include a few words that I may have just learned that week or recently. I have come a long way in writing. As I look back on my folders and other essays I have written in the past, I realize how much I have learned. I’m sure when I handed in some of my essays in 9th grade I thought they were terrific. Now, when I read them I don’t even know what I was saying and it seems so boring to me.
