You would think that many writers are the type of people that sit in a dark room, characterizing each person, engrossed in thought of what will lie in the next scene. Or sit in a Starbucks, drinking their coffee like it's nobody's business. Well, have you ever considered a writer to be the captain of the high school football team? Or, how about the starting pitcher on a baseball team? Writers are everywhere. You cannot put them into categories. You cannot label someone, when you really have no understanding on what lies within.
As I have progressed as a writer, I am able to reflect on past pieces. Essays I have written, journal entries that were scribbled down on a piece of paper, or poems I have deliberated. I took a poetry class this last year, and although it is not a grammar or English class, I learned how to relate to the environment around me and put what I saw into words. I recommend trying it sometime! It could be for your benefit.
People may ask themselves, "Is writing for me?" or "Can I amount up to J.K. Rowling or Stephanie Meyer?" The answer is yes, however, is that what I want? Well, that would be a negative, Captain. My style of writing is more casual. For instance, free verse poetry with a little bit of end rhyme. My strengths come from freedom of expression, and that is where I find my peace.
"My life is light that can brighten
My happiness releases the need to intervene
I am strengthened by my own weaknesses
Observing surroundings is knowledge to me."
