Personal Narrative: My Relationship With Writing

My relationship with writing has been an adventure having both its highs and lows—it has been complex. Yet through it all, I have been excited to learn, expand my vocabulary, learn new styles, and contribute to the ever-growing collection of literary work so that someone one day would benefit from my writing.
When I was younger, I used to bring home a towering pile of books from the library every week, tear through them, and return for another stack. I loved reading, and the books I read inspired me to write a series of my own. Unfortunately, this ambition never came to fruition and only made it to the outline stage. Nevertheless, as I studied in school, I developed a love for literature of all kinds.
My writing process used to consist of

me simply spilling my every thought onto the page before me and submitting that to the teacher. Much to my chagrin, I would soon discover that something called ‘revision’ was a crucial step in the writing process. Unfortunately, this instruction did not occur until later in my education.
As I have attended small schools my entire life, the multi-grade and impromptu English classes were not exactly up to par. It was not until the end of high school that I learned of M.L.A. format and even later that I learned how to properly use it.
Writing is the translation of my thoughts into tangible form that others are able to grasp and understand. It is ultimately my goal to strengthen my writing ability in order to coherently communicate my thoughts, ideas, emotions, and beliefs with others around me. In order to do so, it is important to learn and implement proper language conventions, use interesting stylistic writing, and practice suitable formatting.
Though it was been a long process, I have enjoyed learning how to improve my writing and cannot wait to improve even more.
