The Short-term and the Long-Term Writing
By: AlyssaOh how I love writing
My family has been writing forever -
Starting as scribes in England in the 16th century.
Or so the writings tell us.
Why do I strive to write my thoughts and share my opinions through the written word?
Why can't I formulate sentences verbally as well as I can when I have a blank page in front of me?
My natural curiosity and desire to know "why?" is what makes me a short-term writer.
The long-term writer has a goal in mind, a story they are desperately needing to tell, and characters that need to be developed.
One day I hope to be a long-term writer, but today I must enhance my abilities and share through short-term ideas and stories.
Part of being young is experiencing life and coming into your own.
How could I focus on one thing when there is so much to learn?
So much to write about...more and more things each day!
I am a long-term writer, I will be writing my whole life. But I will write short term content.
Short term content allows me to expand my interests and share even more.
One day I hope I start a story that I cannot stop writing until I finish.
Whether that happens or not, we shall see.
But for today I am going to let my words be free!
End: 11:18 p.m.
