Austin Baker period 3

this article gives me a great understanding of what it is like to write and it is easy to relate to certain situations from the article. i can relate to what she says about writing, letting you figure out what you're thinking. when I write something down, its easy to see what I wrote and build off of it. it helps me see what i am trying to say and emphasize key points in a writing. I also think that this gives us a better understanding of who we are as writers and how we respond to certain situations and our responses on how we feel about certain subjects. we are all different and we all perceive things differently than others, but how you respond will dictate the kind of writer that you are.
