Skill

After much thought I've decided that I would have to say writing would be my skill. I'm not very good at all thing grammar nor do I write well when assigned a topic. I enjoy writing about characters that I've created. This skill I required after many, many years of filling notebooks of fictional stories. This skill of mine is also somewhat undiscovered in my mind. I write for me and me alone. I started when I was about 13 and reading Stephen King novels, he was my inspiration to start writing. Younger my friends were art kids who were perfectionists when it came to drawing and painting, and I couldn't even draw a straight line. My mother and grandmother are also creative artistically  and I was always envious of their talent. I wanted to be creative in my own way. So I started making characters up in my own stories. My brother was the first to read my writing and to tell me that I was good. I continued writing ever since. This is difficult even to this day because, much like artists, I'm a perfectionist and everything I write can be better.

  1. Stephen King novels are seriously the best! Have you read/seen the TV series called Bag of Bones? That was so amazing, I thought that the book was a bit more descriptive, but the show or movie I guess it's more like, did a good job of being accurate with the book (:
