Why I Write?

The first thing that caught my attention was how she liked the way the tittle sounded. The way the three words incorporate the sound "I". I think she likes it because it's why she writes and it makes it personal. In the second paragraph she made sure to make the words "listen to me, see it my way, change your mind" are stood out by using italics. I think this is the reason why she writes. She writes so she can put forth her opinion and if you have a different opinion she wants to change your mind. Of course when you hold strong opinions you think your right so you want people to agree with you. Then she starts talking about how she doesn't believe in abstracts. She doesn't like looking at things with an abstract mind set. She likes the straightforward things in life, and she likes observing and writing about things she sees and understands. I kind of like this about her. I don't really have an abstract mind myself. I like the things I understand. Abstract thinking doesn't necessarily take more thinking, but I think you need a more artistic mind to see things out of the ordinary. She considers herself a writer. Not a good writer not a bad writer but just somebody that puts words on a piece of paper. I don't agree with that. If just writing down words on a piece of paper made you a writer everybody in this world would be a writer. Like I said in my previous blog I can make mac and cheese but that doesn't make me a cook. I sing in the shower, but that doesn't make me a singer. I can dance a little, but that doesn't make me a dancer. You have to be good at it and excel in it.
