“Why Not revise As You Go Along” –
Carolyn See
I never thought I should revise
as I’m writing because I would lose the momentum. When I am creating a story or
writing notes, I keep writing until my thoughts are done. For me, I know if I stopped
writing in the middle of the paragraph to revise, I would forget what I would
write about. I do not want to revise something if I do not have the whole story
finished.
“Learn How to Be in Your Head” –
Lin-Manuel Miranda
It talked about how his friend had
so much creativity through a stick. We all have the skill to be creative, but
we just have to be open minded and explore. When I write my stories, it takes
me a while to get started because I do not have any inspiration to kickstart
it. I usually have to read my notes over and over again until something clicks.
I try to always be creative, but my style is very minimalist.
“How Can You Teach Anybody How to
Write?” – Charles Bukowski
Writing and English has always
been my toughest subject in my early childhood. Maybe because Vietnamese was my
first language, but it definitely was a struggle. I feel like I have improved
my writing skills over the years. It took years and years of writing to finally
be decent at it. I realized it is okay to make mistakes when I write because I
can always get better by practicing.
Oh wow Vietnamese must seem so easy to you especially since it is your first language. I look at Vietnamese and it is such a struggle for me to attempt at learning it. I always forget that English is a difficult language to learn. I look at it and I am like it makes sense, but not necessarily for people who are not taught English growing up. It is great that writing has improved your skills over the years! Practice does make perfect. I guess I need to practice more, a lot more!
