[Good Writing]It takes a lot of work.

To be a good writer, you must know, and have the skills that good writers have. In my definition of Good Writing, everything must be perfect.
There should be proper grammar, correct use of punctuation marks, periods, capitalization and spelling. You should be able to get the reader’s full attention and you should be able to get your point across to the reader. Also, your paragraphs should all be able to connect, meaning they should all be able to come together. Personally, if something doesn’t catch my eye by the first paragraph, I usually loose interest in the whole thing.
If I’m in class, and the teacher says we have to write a timed essay, it would sometimes be hard to do good writing, because you’re rushing. Also, if the topic is boring, it’s hard for me to write a good paper, because the topic is not something I’m feeling. I believe that if a person were to go home and write essays, just to write them, then that too would help them have good writings. I was doing some research on the internet about good writing skills, and Helen Garner, (a famous Australian writer), said: “…You've got to practice every day. It's like practicing an instrument if you're a musician or keeping your tools sharpened. After many years of daily practice… you actually build up a competence.” Meaning, if you want to become a good writer you should practice more, and you’ll get better.It takes a lot to become a good writer. Maybe if I took time, I could have some good writings.

Being d0ne with the past.

I’ve been in love for many times before. But there’s one that just really stood out to me. It’s like you love him for so long, he messes up, you move on, then that guy messes up, and all of sudden, out the blue, god puts your first love back in your life. Thinking that this time could be it. After talking to him for a day or two, I realized that he hasn’t changed, and I just couldn’t’ go back to the old days. There’s a song out by Frankee J called, “Don’t Wanna Try,” and that songs means a lot to me. He talks about how he’s been with a girl that he loved for so long, and all of sudden things aren’t right anymore, so he just saying that he doesn’t want to try to be in a relationship with her anymore. So that’s how I feel, that I just don’t want to try no more, because I know how everything is going to be.
It all started in the summer 2004. I was at the pool with my friend. I was having me a good time, and I noticed that there was this guy who kept eyeing me, and flirting with me. Never would I’ve known, he would be my first love.
He meant the world to me; I loved him more than life itself. We were dating for a year, but it felt like a lifetime. The beginning of the relationship was wonderful, I just knew it wasn’t going to ever end. So as the relationship started good. It also started getting worse. He began to lie, cheat and everything else he could possibly do. I had enough, and I let him go for another guy.
After three years of being lied to, cheated on, and so on, with the new guy, we decided that we just couldn’t try no more either, so I dedicated the song, “Don’t Wanna Try,” for that relationship also.
“Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try no more. You keep insisting when you know our love is out the door. Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try cause all we do is fight and say the things that hurt you bad to where we both begin to cry. Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try I bout just had enough. It’s been a rough road baby just let it go. Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try no more. Tell me what‘s the use of holding on when all we do is hurt our love.” This song really has made a difference in my life. I’m so happy this song exists, because without it, I would’ve been lost.
