Writing, Writing, Writing, Typing?

Writing. I have been writing for the most of my life, it's like when you hit kindergarten or it might be first grade, from then on you are writing everyday. Surely, my writing has improved over the years of school because each year I learn how to do something new. From sloppy letters, small/easy words and sentences, to whole paragraphs that turn into essays. And this as my last year of middle school I have learned more to writing. The learning just never ends, not even writers are perfect at writing that's why they have editors or they edit their writing themselves.

So to say, eighth grade has a great impact on my writing. A good impact though. I've learned a lot this past year to how to write better in essays and paragraphs. One of the very most important and useful things I've learned to writing paragraphs and essays is transition words. That was the next step I had to take, to include transition words. They make your essays sound more intelligent. It lets the reader know if you are continuing on a subject or changing/transitioning to another subject. Some transition words/phrases are: however, also, or as a result e.t.c. We had to practice using these words for our state tests so we could get a four or something higher than a two. While I was practicing I would sometimes forget to even use some transition words so I'd feel silly I forgot. This method of transition words is coming with me to high school for essays.

Now a days, I have really enjoyed writing, so for projects if I have to do an essay I wouldn't really dread doing the writing part I might actually be looking forward to doing it. This is probably why I'm thinking of being a writer when I grow up (one of my possible careers), possibly writing novels if my imagination is good enough. However, as for the look of my writing, it has to be improved. It is sloppy and sometimes hard to read, I wonder how my teachers feel when they have to read something I wrote. Hehe. Yes, sometimes my capitalized J may trick people into thinking it's a 5 or a S (I really intended it to be a J). But it's the future now and there's something called typing and printing on computers so no need to worry (to anyone who needs to read about anything I typed). I just know that writing will stick with me forever either if it's writing a book or permission for my child for school. I also know that I'm not done learning how to write so my writing improvements will increase (such as my grammar).
