Post 2: Who am I as a writer?

2. Write a portrait of you as a writer, now.  This could be a vivid account of you physically writing, or it could be more abstract (“I am a writer who…”).

I knew from the very start of my freshman year that I was a writer that liked to write with imagery. I loved to vividly describe every detail in my blogs, and thoroughly enjoyed using details in my Personal Narrative paper. Another example would be when I wrote about medieval job occupations in World History. I was writing as an herbalist writing in her journal about her day. The herbalist would have to write as if she was in the medieval times, when serfdom existed. It was a fun assignment. I liked the assignment so much that I drew a picture of me as a herbalist. I also love to write about World History because it gives me an excuse to learn about the past. I also get to write about history in my own words. Something about that is thrilling for me, because learning is something I enjoy. For example, I was happy when I got to choose my topic for the Research Paper. The topic that I chose for the paper was the Scientific Revolution.

The Scientific Revolution was something I wanted to write about, because it allowed me to express my feelings on how humanity, mainly the Europeans allowed religion to make up 3/4 of their lives. I understand if the Europeans wanted to worship a god/goddess, but it doesn't mean that they shouldn't blame all of their problems on God because a religion. Another example would be when I wrote the paper on the World Wars. During my research for that paper, I learned about many important events and strategies for conquest, such as the Schlieffen Plan. This plan was created by a man named Alfred von Schlieffen. Schlieffen planned for Germany to conquer France and then conquer the Soviet Union. But the British soldiers stopped the Germans from conquering the land, and this caused multiple alliances to arise, such as the French-Russian alliance. Eventually, World War I started. I love to write everything with detail and historical events. That's sort of why I love past fantasy novels. I hope that one day I can find a job that allows me to make more these historical novels.
