Writer’s autobiography

As a writer I am someone who likes to write about prompts that have to do with past experiences as they are easier to just empty your mind onto a paper and they bring back a lot of memories.I don’t write much except for when I am assigned to write in school , but i think everyone my age writes pages upon pages a day if you included texts,twitter and Facebook.Usually when I have to write something I like to just brainstorm for a while and get every idea out of my head.Then I like to cross out the things I don’t believe I could write a lot about and design my paragraphs with two or three of the ideas I do think I could write about.I’d like to get better at other prompts of writing as I find it more difficult to get started on other types of prompts.I definitely enjoy reading way more than writing , because writing you have to try and manifest a story out of memory and with reading you get to just sit back and let the story play out in front of you.One of my favorite authors is Ellie Wiesel , who wrote books about the Holocaust and his hard past.Those kind of books definitely fit in with how i like to write , because they are true stories from someone’s past and you can feel their emotions through the paper and try to connect with them.Maybe after this course , how much I like to write will maybe catch up with how much more I enjoy to read at this point in my life.One way to achieve this would be if the writing we do will require us to read up on something first , that way reading and writing will come together as just one.As far as paper vs screen , I prefer writing on a computer , as it is easier to edit and move your ideas around.And for reading i prefer a hard copy over reading on a screen , as I think you get a better grip on what you’re reading when it’s all in front of you instead of having to scroll pages and wait for things to load up on a computer.
