Literature Narrative
As a young child, I was always fascinated by other things other than books. Books seemed boring especially those that did not have pictures. My parents took me to a school with many children. All the children there wore the same clothes which I later came to know were uniforms. In the school, there were adults who I later came to learn that they were our teachers. I thought they had mood swings since they would be angry at times and soon after be so affectionate, play and sing with us. My favorite subjects in the school were drawing, painting, playing and storytelling classes.
I grew up rather fast and began to understand many other things about the school. I had mixed feelings about school, and that included writing and reading. I learned how to write and read when I was still in kindergarten. I can vaguely remember the first steps in knowing how to write. It was hard and it took me almost a week just to know how to hold a pen and write my name. At first, it was tiring holding a pen and writing a sentence but eventually I got the hang of it with time and it became easy and fun. Everything is a matter of practice, and the bold step of doing it. I grew to hate writing and reading, but later loved it. It’s not about how you start but how you finish.
When I was I high school, the work and the studies were overwhelming. There was so much to read through in order to display exemplary performance in my exams. However, novels, especially by Nora Roberts, were my favorite. I remember, in my class, a book would be scheduled by almost four people. I enjoyed reading captivating novels. I would be happy when a teacher did not turn up for a class, because that meant I would have time to continue reading. Surprisingly, I always found it easier to read novels as compared to school books. I think it's because my knowledge of school books were examined at the end of the semester.
As I grew up, reading and writing were the class norm, and at times one had to read the same thing repeatedly to understand the concepts laid out. That was the most boring thing with having to write assignments. I was always pleased to do my diary with content from my mind. I found it exciting putting what was on my mind on paper. Today I am a writer and writing is my life. I love writing and reading other writer's work based on the topic of my interest.
As a writer, I have discovered interesting facts about writing. Every form of writing is a discovery. As a writer, I get to discover a lot. Every time I put my thoughts on paper I am sharing something with the next generation. I know am sowing a seed, and pushing forward towards the unknown. I have also learned to lower my expectations, so that the words can flow. I don't like straining, since there won't be any valuable content.

Literature Narrative
As a young child, I was always fascinated by other things other
than books. Books seemed boring especially those that did not
have pictures. My parents took me to a school with many
children. All the children there wore the same clothes which I
later came to know were uniforms. In the school, there were
adults who I later came to learn that they were our teachers. I
thought they had mood swings since they would be angry at
times and soon after be so affectionate, play and sing with us.
My favorite subjects in the school were drawing, painting,
playing and storytelling classes.
I grew up rather fast and began to understand many other things
about the school. I had mixed feelings about school, and that
included writing and reading. I learned how to write and read
when I was still in kindergarten. I can vaguely remember the
first steps in knowing how to write. It was hard and it took me
almost a week just to know how to hold a pen and write my
name. At first, it was tiring holding a pen and writing a
sentence but eventually I got the hang of it with time and it
became easy and fun. Everything is a matter of practice, and the
bold step of doing it. I grew to hate writing and reading, but
later loved it. It’s not about how you start but how you finish.
When I was I high school, the work and the studies were
overwhelming. There was so much to read through in order to

especially by Nora Roberts, were my favorite. I remember, in
my class, a book would be scheduled by almost four people. I
enjoyed reading captivating novels. I would be happy when a
teacher did not turn up for a class, because that meant I would
have time to continue reading. Surprisingly, I always found it

As I grew up, reading and writing were the class norm, and at

having to write assignments. I was always pleased to do my
diary with content from my mind. I found it exciting putting
what was on my mind on paper. Today I am a writer and writing
is my life. I love writing and reading other writer's work based
on the topic of my interest.
As a writer, I have discovered interesting facts about writing.
Every form of writing is a discovery. As a writer, I get to
discover a lot. Every time I put my thoughts on paper I am
sharing something with the next generation. I know am sowing a
seed, and pushing forward towards the unknown. I have also
learned to lower my expectations, so that the words can flow. I
don't like straining, since there won't be any valuable content.
As a writer, I have read through my work to ensure I have the
right content, until am sure. Writing has never been easy
because it is hard work.
I first got interested in reading when my friend lent me a book
she believed I could read. A book with tiny writings freaked me
out but that one was kind of interesting, and I decided to look
for more. I first became a consistent writer when I finished high
school. There was an essay contest that was going on. So I
decided to give it a try. Luckily, I was among the top three.
This boosted my confidence to write more. As the prize, we got
to mingle with great writers, and had a chance to be inquisitive.
I gathered a lot of information, and also got an offer from one
3. of the prominent authors. She invited me to her office to have a
look at some of her great works.One of the people who have
influenced my writing is my parents. They have been my
number one fans, by always encouraging me and supporting me
in everything I needed for my "writing sprees". My parents even
took me to the essay competition and watch me win. They
always read and rectify anything I have written wrongly and
encourage me to hold on when the pressure is high. Another
important person in my writing career was the renowned writer
who gave me more than enough tips to being a good writer. She
was the one who pushed me to write my first book and funded
half the amount for the publishing of the particular book.
Lastly, my English high school teacher who was a strict man
who wanted all his students to maintain eye contact with him
during his lessons. This was his way to ensure that we all paid
attention. Somehow, we all ended up loving English despite his
strictness. Our performance was exemplary, and that contributed
to my success as writer.
I am now a proficient writer and reader. When I read any form
of literature, I can tell if it is a beginner writer, or an
experienced one. Today when I read a novel, I remember the
first time I got interested in reading was with a novel. When I
see a narrative or literature written poorly, I remember the
criticism I received over the years that I have been writing.
Through that experience, I took courage to embrace
vulnerability as a necessity to writing. My resolution is to be a
writer since it is something I do without straining. While
writing, I often look for wanting to be surprised. After writing,
I let my ideas flow. I step back and organize, shape and cut off
the unnecessary parts to be left with my favorite sections. I do
not have any regrets about choosing writing as my career since
it I feel so fulfilled doing it. I have also realized I hunt for
information from various sources until I am satisfied I have the
best piece. I also enjoy observing, listening to the dark thoughts
inside of me. They contribute a lot to my literature pieces. I
have also learned that writing helps me sense any discord in
4. life. Every thought produces an action and at times I write I
write in response to what my conscious tells me about life. I
have no regrets and instead am looking at how I can advance my
writing career.
