Self as Writer

Ever since I was hospitalized three years ago for various reasons writing has become my release. It’s the one thing I can always count on being there. Writting is my safe place where nothing can touch me. I love to just write down any random thought or idea that crosses my mind. I am very pretective of my work and I lack self confidence which makes me not want to share any of my works. I write poems that don’t rhyme short stories and journal entries. I despise writing essays. I have strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Some of my weaknesses are that I can’t spell. Also I never erase my work I scribble/blackout my mistakes. A major weakness of my writing is that I never seem to finish any story that I start. I have three different, unfinished stories going at the moment. One of my strengths is that I pick topics that I know and for the most part experienced myself. Strength is I try to find better and “unused” words and use them in my works. I don’t think I am a good writer but more of an average writer. I have a few hopes and dreams about my future in writing. One of them is that some of my poems and my stories get published. I hope that my writing could help and inspire the readers. As a writer I hope I can grow, become better as time chugs along and change into a great writer.
