So much of my life is often impacted by beauty including writing. My future writing depends mainly on how I feel about my surroundings. I was lucky enough to have been born into an optimistic family, which taught me to look at life's beauties before all else and to do what my heart tells me. When I look around at the world I am often inspired even in bad situations. I have incorporated pictures that are symbolic of my life and my writings.

My focus of writing is on beauty and art and I hope that is what people take from my writings. I want the world to see how beautiful the simplest things can be. I am mostly motivated by beauty often in art. I want to be able to write about the beauty around me when I older. I have so much to learn myself still and I have so much to learn about writing since I am only a sophomore.   In the following picture there is a man standing and observing or perhaps thinking. A lot of my writing is a reflection and a moment where I stop to take time to look around myself and outside myself. The man is also looking up and I think that says a little bit more about the photo. While some people are busy rushing by and walking, he stops and looks up. There are many types of people in this world and he represents my type, which is the type that stops to smell the flowers and gaze about, he is a dreamer. I think it is very important to have goals and dreams especially for a writer. We dream what we write. The sun is shining which in a way could represent optimism. He is relaxed and comfortable a lot like my writing and myself.

  I have a lot of goals when it comes to writing. I want to develop my own style of writing which is very distinct from any other. I want to apart from others. It is a goal of mine to be able to know what my exact type of writing is and develop it. I am still not sure of my style, which I do not think is uncommon for someone who is my age. I have a lot of learning to do. I do not want to limit myself to a specific type of writing either. I want to branch out and write about a lot of different things, I want to be somewhat of a worldly writer. I think this means I need to introduce myself to many different things as well to incorporate that into my writings. I want to work with people because the people I meet are often those who inspire characters or ideas in my works. The picture below represents my goals. It shows that I want to be my own person and have my own style. Like the tree I want to be alone in that way. While the picture may look a little bleak and plain I think that is a good thing.   It is a blank canvass for me to write on. There is nothing depressing about winter to me. It is a change in seasons and can be just as mystical as the next. The world covered in a pure white snow, my writings start out like that many times.

  I am so inspired by so much and I think I have a lot to share with the world. When I write it makes me feel good about myself and I think that is my main reason for motivation and future writings. Something that makes me feel that good about myself can only lead to positive repercussions. Who my audience will be and who I will I reach is up to the story I write. People relate to experiences and I want to have experiences that people will relate to. I think learning what you want to do is all about experience and I have begun my college career dipping my fingers into what a few different types of writing including script writing, journalism, and basic creative writing. News writing and journalism are two wonderful forms of writing but they are not for me. I did; however, enjoy creative writing very much. I think I will most likely venture into the world of fiction through the form of short stories and poems. I express myself best through these forms. I would like to discover more about them and I think that in the nest couple years I will have defined the path I would like to most venture down. This last picture is the road that I want to travel down as a writer. It is not straight and narrow but long and twisted. I want to try different things, I want to dabble in a lot, and life is boring as a straight line. The sky is open and in areas a lot like opportunities and I want to take those opportunities. It is not always bright and sunny I guess we, as people have to look for the sunny spots and reach out to them. I want to inspire others to write with their hearts. The stories that have touched me the most our those that seems to have a lot of meaning to their authors. Life is about the heart, hard work, and the people around you. That's what I want my writing to be in the long run. And that may seem a little silly and perhaps a little corny but its what I love and what I am good at. The future is unknown but I can plan my goals and hold onto my ideals.   I will learn as I go and develop my writings through my experience because I believe that is the best way.
