Welcome to the blog, Rachel--or rather, thanks for welcoming us to your corner of it. What might we expect from you here?
In my "corner" of the website, I am planning to write poetry. I'm fond of poetry, but I prefer to write it rather than read it. I think writing poetry is a great type of writing, because it's a nice way to express your thoughts about a certain topic. For some people who think poetry is difficult, here's my advice: Don't try too hard and just let your thoughts flow. Many times when I'm writing for a while, I find myself writing descriptions. I plan to share some of those with you. Overall, what I'll write on this blog will depend on if it's raining or something exciting happened. It all depends.
When was your literary passion first kindled?
I've always loved to read, since I can remember. I think that transitioned into a love for writing. One day in Kindergarten, I had to write instead of having free time. I actually was excited to write. I just kept on writing and it was fun. Now, I still love to write. As for the poetry, it was all technically for a grade. But I had enjoyed it a lot. My poetry topic was traveling. All I had to do was think of places and their hidden and outside beauty. I thought about what made the destinations special, and the words just flowed.
You told me three questions, so, final one--what are you reading these days?
The latest books I've read have been biographies. I love to read fantasy, but I really enjoy biographies. I recently read one about Jacques Cousteau that was very interesting. The next time I go to the library, I plan to get a biography about Thomas Jefferson.
