    2. I like to write on the kitchen table because it makes me comfortable. When i write i use a pen. It makes me write better and it suits me. I like to write in fiction because i like to write funny pieces. I write in my writers notebook and when i don't have my notebook i write on blank lined paper. When I don't know what to write about I write a list about my favorite sports, projects and other stuff that i'm interested in.

    My favorite tool to use in writing is my favorite pencil. It helps me think and also it helps me relax. My favorite things to read are Harry Potter books. The place I mostly like to write is in my bed because it helps me relax. I like to write because it is my life.

    1. I sit down at my desk and get a pencil. I take out my writing paper and I get my iPod and headphones. I listen to classical music. It blocks out distractions like voices and traffic outside my window. I like to write realistic fiction because it's like life. I LOVE to write poetry! It can sound very beautiful, sad or happy. It makes the world seem better than it is. I like to illustrate my stories occasionally because if something is hard to write about, you can start your idea with a picture.
      I LOVE writing with imagination.

  7. I like to write at the den table, on the kitchen table, and in my bed because they are cozy and quite places. I like to write fiction and realistic fiction, and sometimes I like to write stories about myself. I write most of my books with pencil and some of them with pen. I have a notebook that I keep all my writing ideas in, and when I'm ready to publish, I take pieces of blank paper and staple them together. Sometimes I look around the room and see things that might inspire me to write a story. I also read books a lot because I like reading and because some of the books give me ideas for my stories. I think that writing is very fun and that everyone should write or at least give it a try.

  8. I don't use tools because i like to free write just think the story as i go and just write. I like poetry because poems are short and they rime. Sometimes i use seed ideas but i just like to go with the flow. Sometimes i put pictures in my brain to help me think. And sometimes i write based on the real world.

  10. When I am having trouble writing, the best edvice that anyone can tell me is to just write. sometimes, I read half a book to get inspiration. Even at night, my author part of my brain is still working, writing a novel the whole night, and then I start to write the story on blank paper... but theres one problem, I never finish my quick home projects... that is definetly something I need to work on. But sometimes, on those days that I feel like I can do any thing, I'll take out my earphones, my iPod and listen to Talor Swift and Prince and start writing to the beat, then I finally finish my last sentence and start dancing in the mirror to the leftover part of the song.
    Thank you for reading!!! ;)

  11. Who I am as a writer? I am a detailed writer because I don't leave out anything that I did on that day. I speak out for myself, and I break out of my shell. I like to write about what happened in my lifetime. For example, I had a sleepover with my friends and I had such a good time! Also I like to write about going to my grandmother's house and going to a theme park named Bush Garden in Virginia.

  12. I like to use pen and pencil. Usually reading helps me brain storm and pick out ideas to use when I write. So when I read fiction books I get better and better each time. So I love fiction books, it helps me when I write. I think about what I read and bring those ideas into my stories. So fiction books can do a lot. They help to write better stories.

  13. I am a good writer, but I have a difficult time getting started. I use a pencil when I write because if I make a mistake I don't have to start over from the beginning. Jackson Pollock's "Convergence" inspires me because it looks like he is having fun painting pieces of art and I think it is very important as a writer to have fun because you are more motivated to do something when you are having fun than when you are not.

  14. As a writer, I like to fantasy stories and non-fiction about animals. I like to write sitting in my green bean bag chair, and I prefer typing on a laptop computer to using a pencil and paper. My writer's tool is my bookshelf, which is full of books that inspire me, such as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, and the Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling. These books make me feel like I am standing in the middle of the story watching it happen, not just reading about it in a book. When I run out of ideas, I lie down on my fuzzy rug and have a big glass of milk. And then I usually get a new idea.

  16. When I write I do these things. # 1. Draft. #2. Revise. #3. Editing my work. #4. Final Draft. But that's only for stories and all abouts.

    I like funny books and adventurous books. One of my favorite authors is David Williams. He writes really funny books. He also puts lots of authors voice in his books.

  21. I am a slow writer and I don't really like to write that much then typing on a lab top I'm bettor and faster then with a pen or pencil I have very messy hand writing. like to write on my couch in all sorts of positions. I like to use pencils.i like writing realistic fiction because I like making up stories that are funny but can still be true like with not princess and frogs and princes and stuff like that. i like looking around in my house and seeing cool stuff and that helps me because it gives me new cool ideas of what to write about new stuff like if I see a pic of me an my brother i will write about me and him. I like using lots of details in my writing like; emma felt a cold frost through her spine something bad is coming.

  24. Me as a writer: it takes me a long time to think about what am going to write about but when I put the pencil to the page I think better. I use pencil because it can erase. Books give me inspiration. I use post-its as a graphic organizer. I need a quiet room to write in. Or when I read a book that gives me inspiration too.

  25. I am the kind of writer that uses a pen and my notebook. I sit at the kitchen table, and when I need ideas I walk around the house and sometimes look outside.I live on a really busy street and the things happening outside can give me interesting ideas. One of my favorite authors is James Patterson. I also like Lincoln Pierce and all of the Big Nate books. Graphic novels interest me because some of them are funny and it gives me ideas of what stuff looks like in the author's mind.I read these books because some are really funny and some make me want to me read more. I like to write about realistic things and I also like to read non-fiction books because I like learning facts from it.

  26. I as a writer would first use my head and think about a person or animal I can put in a story that would be long that would have over 30 pages.And that's my GOAL!!!if I reach my goal I put it in a book cover that can be made from cardboard or recycled plastic that could be made into a book

  27. A beautiful silky black panther running on snow,steam coming from her mouth ,people with torches running after her.
    And and a star lit sky above her.
    It inspires me to write about this because it has action in it.
    A black panther running away from humans.

    maybe she did something wrong.
    I could definitely write about something like that.
    ;D

  28. As a writer I don't like writing but when I do I like to write with a pencil so if I make mistakes like if I misspell a word I can erase it. Or if I change my mind in the middle of a sentence I can erase it. I like drawing webs because it helps me break one big idea into smaller ideas. I like writing about sports because I have alot of experience with sports and it gives me a lot to write about. I like writing at my desk because it is quiet and I can focus in on my writing,reading, math etc. Like I said in the beginning I don't like writing but at the end of the school year I hope I can get better at writing.

  29. WHY BOOKS INSPIRE ME

    Books inspired me to write.
    Because they have different ideas that you could never think of .Also because they,unlike movies and things like that have you imagine things, not just seeing an image that another person created.And I write fiction in most of my other books to have every one who reads that book know what imagining is like and how to be good at it.And to books of fiction all over the world I thank you for have also inspired me to write .
    Non-fiction also inspires me to write too.
    Without it we would not be able to store knowledge in the 1980's and things (or times ) like that.
