THE WRITING MIND OF SOLANGE

I remember during the summer time it was a month or two before the eighth grade started and I just began to write. I would write about anything my self or any thing I felt or observed.When I would ask my mom or summer camp instructor to read my writing they would always tell me that my writing is very good I just have to work on my punctuation. But when I would write my short stories or poems I wouldn't add any thing because my pen would just side across the paper thought after thought I didn't want to stop to check my punctuation or spelling because I was so into what I was writing. For eighth grade my humanities teachers name was Mr.locker he had us do some writing about a topic we were working on. And I thought that my reflection was awesome and there was nothing wrong but when I got my work back there was a lot of mistakes I made not in spelling but in missing punctuation.I knew I needed to work on my writing. It's just that I would get confused with the punctuation and where it belonged,this made me feel so stupid because entering the eighth grade I should know this and I can't use the long summer off from school as an excuse.

So for a long time writing was my favorite subject until I found out that we had to write reading journal every night. Now, even though writing is my favorite subject I like to write on my own time when I'm inspired or I'm feeling something, not when I'm scheduled to or expected to every night.Some people would ask me or say to me if you like to write so much why don't you like to do your journals.I would always say "I don't know that's just how I feel about it". I have been doing my reading journals and trying to keep up with them. Because I have do have a subject to write about that does make it easy but I guess I'm just lazy. Then like three months before the year was over Mr.locker said that we instead of writing a journal every night you can now just do three journals a week. Doing this was easy for me cause now I didn't have do write a journal every night I could now choose three days from Mon-Friday to write my journal.But this also made me lack on my writing because one night I wouldn't write and then the next night I would forget to,so I would stop for a while and then start and then stop again.But this would only go on until I'd find a good book.When I started lacking again I would try to make up journals so Mr.locker could grade it for that day but,then I'd have to keep on making up more and more and more.Until I was stable with my book choices.

In all I love to write as all you readers know but moving towards the end of the school year I grew less fond of writing.But I know that I need not complain about writing when I know I'm going to have to write way more, and this will be something i will work on.
