Hi, my name is sabrina. I have never done a blog before so hopefully it will go well. This blog is for my Writers  Craft class and is used as my summative mark.

 I started writing when I was around fourteen or fifteen for a school project on creative writing. I never knew how passionate I was about writing until I was assigned that project. I loved creating a new world with many different characters and may different plots. Since then my desire to write has grown more and more.

My favorite type of writing would have to be creative writing. I also love writing fictional stories in particular. Being able to make a character have special skills that people don't have in real life is exciting and cool to me. My passion for writing stemmed from my love of reading. I wouldn't be able to write as well as I do if not for my vast variety of novels. I love fictional novels that are action packed or suspenseful, they hold my attention and make me excited to flip to the next page to see what will happen next.

My strengths as a writer would probably have to be the creative part of writing. I love making interesting plot twists that grasp the reader's attention. I am also good at editing projects or rearranging sentences in order to make them flow better. The only thing that I find I am not strong in is punctuation and lengthening my writing. I hope this class will teach me all sorts of writing techniques and better me as a writer in general. So far I have been taught how to write a memoir, which I have never done before. I enjoyed it and I hope I will learn how to write several more genres.

 I am not sure if I will pursue a career in writing, but I know it is something I am passionate about and want to continue to do throughout my life.
