Stages of Spelling, Writing Process, Personal Writing

Over the years, I have definitely had a lot of experience with writing in which I am very grateful for. I had excellent teachers in Elementary School who taught me the basics and prepared me, I had fairly good Language Arts teachers in middle school, and I had one English teacher in High School in particular who was absolutely amazing and inspired me to want to write and learn as much as I could. Personal writing has always been my favorite because I can write about what I want and how I'm feeling and that is much easier for me than to write about something I am not very interested in or I have a hard time with. While that does prepare me educationally, I would much rather write about personal things in my life. It has been pretty nice having this blog, because I have been able to practice more writing (which always can use more practicing) in a pretty easy way. I have always preferred writing over reading, but it is definitely becoming more clear to me that both of them are very important to achieve either one.

At first, I had no idea what I wanted to write about for my book project. But after thinking for awhile, I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. My book is going to be about my experience in the marching band in high school. The beginning will discuss about how I was unsure about joining, the middle will describe how much I hated it at first and I was convinced I would be dropping out, and the end will talk about how much my feelings about it changed and how I ended up doing it for all 4 years and how much I took out of the experience...
