iThoughts

I know in a lot of my previous blog posts I stated that I feel like I am not a good writer and I don't like to write. Well, I actually do spend a lot of my time writing or typing in my notes app on my iPhone. For some reason I tend to always have something weighing on my mind, whether it's school related, personal, or the weather; something is always on my mind and I think about it all day long and even before I fall asleep. Ever since high school I felt that I should write down what's going through my mind or what's going on in my life at the moment. If it came to me I wrote it down in my notebook, if I didn't have my notebook on me then I'd save it to my notes app. One reason why I started doing this and love it is because I like to look back and read what I wrote yesterday, 2 weeks ago, or even last year. I like to read it and reminisce on what happened that day. Another reason why I do this is because I feel like if I don't then I will have to many thoughts going through my mind at once and I just crash, sorta speak. All in all, I just like to write. If the topic is something I can relate to then I will enjoy writing about it, and will actually write with a purpose and not just to complete the assignment. Am I a bad writer? NO. Am I a great writer? NO. But I am a GOOD WRITER. And I will continue to write, whether it's for my knowledge and memories or for an assignment.

  1. Alicia, I do this also. When I look at notes things from high school I love to see how much i've grown in three years. A great iPhone app is Tweegram, it's used for twitter or just your thoughts. Sometimes it's best to get your thoughts out on paper, especially if it will worry you. No matter how many errors there are when you're writing to yourself, you're a good writer because it's how you feel.

  3. Like Dakota said you are becoming a great writer through what you type in your blogs. i love to write about how i feel, happy or sad, i still do it, just like u. your writing is very well thought out and it has gotten a lot better with the way you keep expressing yourself.

  4. I agree with Dakota, this is a great way to practice writing. I also have the problem of too many thoughts racing through my head, but I have never thought to write them down. This is such a great idea because things you would normally forget you can remember because you have wrote them down. I think you should try to keep this good habit as long as you can.
