Myself as a Writer

I find that as a writer I like being descriptive. If someone is to describe something I think that it should be described to the last detail, unless of course the story calls for some details to be hidden. Personally I like writing stories in general. Long or short it doesn't matter. I also enjoy writing dialogue for graphic novels or just doodling short comics. I enjoy reading novels and everything I mentioned in the past couple sentences. While I don't particularly like it, I do enjoy reading the odd poem here and there

My strengths as a writer has to be my imagination. I feel that I can create a story from almost anything. I also feel that I can create worlds for people to go into and really believe that it is real and make the reader either hate or love the place I create. Lastly I feel that I put a lot of good work into character development and no matter how small the character I feel that they should have a back story. As for my weaknesses I tend to lose my original goal when writing stories. I tend to write a lot and then stop liking my own writing so I leave the project for a while (trust me when I say there are a lot of stories waiting to be finished.) I also find that when trying to create certain worlds or characters I fall short of my goals I had planned for them and eventually scrap the character as a whole.

The reason I took writers craft is to improve my writing technique.  I feel that while I like my writing and I have been told it's good, I think I can improve it. By doing so it would in my mind, increase the depth I can put into my stories and would allow me to expand farther then what I feel as my comfort zone. Hopefully as my writing gets better Bradley and I can continue our on going project of making a graphic novel and after that I would like to get into writing novels when my life gives me time to do so.

My Short Story

Carter

Carter stumbled into his small apartment. The T.V. was still on and the crackle filled the room. He called on his wife for another beer and got no answer. As he opened the fridge he laughs, "So this is where it was!" He set the urn on the table and went back to his beer. (55 Words exactly :P)
