All About Me!!

Hello Ms. Patrick and my fellow classmantes!
My is Amber Harris and I am a freshman at TCU. My majoring in Musical Theatre and minoring in journalism. I am very excited about doing the writing assignments for class and also getting to know the other students. I am planning to be a more confident and strong writer and not be afraid to put my thoughts on paper. Writing in my life now I just write down the necessities what needs to be done in my daily life like in planner or on post-its and calendars so that I will not forget what I need to do or what is going on next week and such which makes me happy about being punctual and being on top of things that I need to get done.
If could write all the time I would write about the memories I have in my life that I cherish like families, friends and life and how much that means and how maybe that can mean to other people. I believe that my favorite pieces writing are always editorials in magazines and any kind of writing that is in a magazine cause besides my favorite books I read those most of the time. I really do not dislike any type of writing because it comes from the mind of the author and what the author writes is as important as whatever we write which has meaning as well.
I absolutely love writing short stories because in a way it gives you freedom as writer and you can use your imagination and not hold back whatever is in your mind and making up a whole new world is the most fun to me. I believe everyone around me, that goes for who I know who I don't know contribute to what I put in to my writing because in a way we are all characters waiting to be put in a story because we are all unique in our own way.
When I do write a paper the only strategy I really use is to write like your telling a story to a friend but in a professional way and not just writing words on paper. I learned that strategy my sophomore year when I was on the newspaper staff and I have used that one strategy ever since because none of the others like brainstorming and pros and cons haven't really helped as much.
I love write about people because so many ideas come out one person by just getting know and how interesting that person is how much that have will change your life after meeting them.
I believe writing can become diffucult when you have to follow a standard or just write about facts which really makes it hard for becasue I don't know if I am writing the facts down write to where my paper is meaning and understandable, everything else to me is easy to write about because I get that freedom to be me.
Writing will always be important to me becauseI use it to remember so many different things and also to put down my thoughts and ideas which become really useful to me in the future.
As a writer I would love to bring my imagination and ideas when I write about serious issues because I can't really put two together and then my writing isn't at its full potential. My strengths are being creative and loving to write something I am passionate about but weakness is not bringing those strenghts to something I am not really interested in writing in.
If I do come up a subject I am not interested, I hope the techniques that I will learn in this course will help me put my negative thoughts aside and write a very positive and amazing story.
I agree to all the terms that were mentioned in the syllabus and I can't wait to start writing stories this semester.
