My favorite piece of writing?

To be honest, my favorite piece of writing in this blog is the trip through the forest. The reason that I like this post? When I started writing it, I put all my feelings in it. Also, it is because that I finally realized the true aspects of my life when I wrote it. I realized that I didn't hate my parents that much and I actually love my family deep inside my heart. I also mentioned one of my two fears in it but can you guess it? About my writing? Well, something I tend to do when I write freely is that I write lots of questions. Why? I just don't know but when I write questions, I usually have more ideas come rushing through my head about what I want to write. You can also notice that there quite a few questions in this post already. Something I want to improve? I really want to improve my sensory details description because when I write, I feel that nothing can stop me and it usually carries me away. Another problem is that when I write, read or listen to anything, don't expect me to pay much attention because it's kind of weird but I feel that my soul just drifted out of my body and I am inside of whatever I'm paying attention to. For instance, if I was reading about a war, my mind tells me that I'm exactly in the war and I feel the pain, hear the people scream and cry it's just that I'm in the story. Also, if I read about someone, my mind makes a picture of them and I can feel like seeing them with my own eyes! Oops looks like I drifted off again but I hope that I can improve my writing more.
p.s. can you guess what my fears are?

  1. Wow, Rotha. I have read this a few times. It's such a nice reflective piece of writing. Your ability to write about your writing process so thoughtfully really shows your maturity.

    Your love for your family has definitely come through your writing.

    I was fascinated by your description of how you get "carried away" when you write. Is this really a problem? Maybe not! Most artists will say that when they are doing what they love, they become so involved in it that they forget the outside world for awhile. I think this might actually HELP you to write with more vivid, sensory details - because you are imagining it so clearly!

    Hmmm... your fears. Do you mean fears about writing or just general fears that you have? I hope you're not afraid of wolves! :) I think wolves are incredibly beautiful animals. My dream is to see one in the wild.

    Thanks for your honest, thoughtful writing.

  2. Actually I'm a bit afraid of lightnings and thunders because I fear they might strike me.

  3. Ah, you didn't make me keep guessing. Darn, I was going to try. Lightning is dangerous, so it makes sense to be a bit afraid!
