JLZ Literacy Autobiography - Writing

My love for writing started at age 14.
We were given a project to write a short story in a fairy tale genre, and I've been writing ever since.

In the beginning writing was hard for me, because I would sometimes miss words or have spelling errors that I wouldn't notice till much later, but because of perseverance I'm improved dramatically since the start of it all.
My favorite genre is romantic tragedy and fantasy.
Can't say there isn't room to improve...
But hopefully over time I will get better.

I'm hoping to post some of my original work one day but I decided to start small first and practice before throwing my own work into the world.
And the best way to practice in my opinion is to keep writing but in a different type of, I don't know if you would call it genre or style, and posting it for people to critique and read.
Fan fiction is a good practice method.
Its not 100% original but every version of the story would be different and there's a specially site made just for the posting and reading of fan fiction.
As strange as it sounds fan fiction is actually very popular and thanks to a bunch of my online friends I got into it.

This is a link to one of my FanFictions:

Its actually doing very well, got some people following the story and I get critiques every now and then which really help you get used to what your audience wants.
At the start I was writing it to control my depression, which would explain the dramatic opening, but soon I started writing it for the readers and giving them what they wanted.
Its turning out to be an amazing project...

There is another form of writing practice.
Last year I discovered role play, which is basically writing a story with the help of other people.
There's no specific place you can do this, but my favorite medium for rp is Twitter.
I've only ever managed to get it right twice, but the piece my partner and I wrote was so touching and sad that everyone who was watching at the time was moved to tears...
That isn't an easy thing to accomplish.

And this also teaches you grammar and how to write properly, because no one wants to talk to what we call Trolls because its annoying.
Want to make an enemy fast and be labeled as a troll send "dem a msg dat luks like dis".
That is bad english and horrific grammar.

So that is many literacies and ways of improving them.

Are You Ready?

Awkward moment is awkward when your blog can be used for academic purposes...

So yes, the next post up is for a project and will be labeled as one too
So ignore or read it, it's up to you...

Its fortunately on something interesting
