I have always enjoyed writing, whether I am good at it or not. I started writing young, and I'm not talking about keeping a diary. I had an interest in poetry and started writing my own poems. I even entered one into a contest and was one of the finalists.
When my brother and I were younger, we used to make silly little homemade comic books starring characters such as "Puff Piggy" or "Detective Cheeseburger". Stupid stuff like that. We were kids and had weird imaginations, but we made them come to life by writing the stories and drawing the pictures to go along. I guess you could say when I was a kid, writing was fun because I had such a broad imagination and didn't really care what ridiculousness i put on paper.
These days I do not really write as much. I just think of things in my head instead of putting them on paper. Sometimes I will post blogs on a good site called allvoices.com. I like to express my opinions about things and certain topics. One of the main things I like to blog/write about is how corrupt society is today. You hear and see so many stories about horrifying and just plain awful things. It makes it kind of depressing to be living in this day and time. I don't even like to watch the news because I hate hearing those daily stories about kidnappings, shootings, missing children, murders, terrorism, devastating floods and hurricanes, and the list goes on and on and on. It just seems awful that these events really are almost daily. Sometimes people, including myself, are afraid to walk out their door in the morning and go to school/work because you never know what kind of craziness could happen.
Mainly, I like to use writing as an outlet. I enjoy being able to express my opinions about topics and read other people's opinions as well and be able to relate.
