As I sit here and try to answer a question as simple as “What Kind of Writer Am I?”, many thoughts begin to stream through my head. Is it possible for an eighteen year old college student to know what type of writer they are? Up to now I’ve been given writing tasks that had intensely strict guidelines in which I was not given much room to be myself. There is only one essay that I believe I expressed myself as the writer I am. This essay was my college admittance paper. Throughout writing this paper I realized my writing style and the way I approach many writing assignments.
I am the kind of writer who sits down, begins to write, gets frustrated, slams the computer shut and leaves. As I reapproach the computer and dive into my essay I begin to put together a paper that is reflective of the type of writer I am. I am the type of writer who likes to make the intro unforgettable. I believe that if a reader really enjoys the first paragraph, they will continue to read even if the rest of the paper is boring. Also, I am the type of writer who likes to use imagery so that the reader can connect with the context of the paper. When writing, I try to structure my essay so that it flows from paragraph to paragraph. I like to write with creativity, using a unique voice that can be remembered. I enjoy writing where I have the chance to talk and connect to the reader. With every writing assignment, my writing style varies, but I always try to stay true to the writer I would like to be.
