I am a writer (tell your story)

I am a writer (tell your story)

Q Write a brief post (~300 words) in which you introduce yourself as a writer to your classmates and instructor. How would you describe yourself as a writer? What are some of your most memorable experiences with writing? After you have written and posted your contribution, please read others' posts and choose at least two to engage in conversations with about writing. Hint: “1 Post” probably means the writer hasn’t had any responses yet. Base your responses around the key concepts for responding to the work of others. Ask questions, be generous, begin sentences with “I really liked…” etc.) Special Note: Notice that none of the following responses address grammar or correctness. Instead, I want you to respond to one another’s “I am a Writer” by engaging with your colleagues’ ideas. Sample Response 1: Thank you for introducing yourself as a writer! I appreciate your candor at how difficult writing is and how you don't enjoy it much of the time. I agree with you that writing is difficult, particularly in school-based settings (such as you mention) where you are asked to write essays and then have your writing judged and evaluated. What I especially like about your post is that you hope to use writing as a way to "celebrate" the reading that you do--what an admirable motive for writing. You asked if your post was daunting. I found it honest and reflective.
