writing

I have a confession to make: when our teahcer told us that we have to start a blog and write something on it every other day I was scared.I consider myself not to be a good writer,that is because I don´t have enough practice and also it´s very difficult for me to say what I really want to say.Sometimes it´s very hard for me to convey the sentences I write the exact meaning.In addition,there is this fear of being exposed:it´s because I feel uncomfortable and embarrased when I have to write about intimate or private things.However,I think that as the time goes by I will feel confident and begin to write what I really want,without thinking of being misunderstood.But writing is not only about telling deep emotions and thoughts;we can invent a story,using fictional characters,or maybe we can write our opinion about any subject.One of the greatest things about writing is that it develops our imagination:it´s a wonderful experience to sit down,to open a book and let our mind fly. To escape from reality just for a while,forget about our problems and enjoy reading.I have to say that I would have liked to be a writer:a writer can change people´s minds and their attitude towars the world.A writer can evoke feelings on his readers and touch deeply in their hearts.And he can do this without being noticed or recoignized.I would be great to affect on people´s lives and be anonymous!!!that´s the reason why I admire these kind of people:writers,musicians and artist.They are special people with a divine gift,that have the capacity to light our way and make us reflect about our life and our feelings.

Nice reflective pieces, Mauricio. Writing is definitely a great way to communicate and reach other people. The nice part is you are now a writer, being read by several people! On a different note, your piece about your dad is very touching. It's nice to remember him that way. My dad passed away last October 11, and I also cherish warm memories of him. Would you consider turning your entry into a eulogy?
