essay

First, I do not think this will be a top story. It is just something that I want to share that kind of goes along with the previous essay. The many writing teachers that I have had throughout my education from elementary to middle school and high school clear through college and graduate school seemed always to remind us that good writing starts off with the perfect sentence then moving on to the perfect paragraph to the perfect first paper.

There were rules that we needed to follow, but some of rules seemed not to fit so we adapted the rules to fit our needs to write what we wanted to say in our writing for it to make sense to us. We still followed the basic rules of writing of writing what we know though. From learning the basic mechanics like spelling and punctuation and grammar rules to the more advanced skills of cohesion and other language devices to form a piece of writing that others will want to read.

Writing is a profession to take pride in for which one can really be any other occupation or career. It just takes one to have imagination and a creative mind that everyone has it just depends on how we see things in our society.

    You make some really good points here. Especially about adapting. I think as writers, whether we are writing fiction or non-fiction, poems or stories, whatever, it's good to find our own voice. Which means sometimes taking the rules we learned when we were younger and going a different path or taking them from a different angle, at least.
