Danica Gress Period 3

As I dove into this article, I began to feel the truth behind the writing process. Her points and comments made me realize that we are all a little afraid and need to be ourselves. She made a great comment about how everything around you suddenly becomes so much more interesting than your writing. I have done this countless times. My favorite quote that was mentioned was "Words and writing are one way we tap into our souls and our ideas-And share parts of them with other people." Reading this quote, I know that I don't always write from the soul. A lot of the pieces I write are last minute things that might have a bit of heart here and there. From now on, I'm going to not hold back and be a confident, brave writer.

    It really is so important to be yourself in writing. Good key idea you pointed out there.
