7. Reflecting on My Narrative

          Writing a paper on a story from my life is one of the most fun assignments I have ever had to do in my writing scholastic career. That is half because it is so easy to write about a story that I know better than anyone else, and half because I'm just the sort of person who likes to tell stories. I knew the basic format for writing a narrative because in the sixth grade I decided that if Stephanie Meyer could become a famous author, surely I could too. I researched all I could about how to write in this style and started my book which one got to about three short chapters. When I go back to read those chapters now I laugh at how good I thought it was at the time. So since the format wasn't a real stumbling block for me, I kind of just thought of a story that was important to me from my past and let my fingers write whatever they felt like. I really enjoy writing narratives in general. While I sometimes complain about writing papers for my classes, if they were all narratives I would gladly do every single one. The only thing I would change about the experience I had would be to pick a shorter story. I felt like mine went on for a while, but I also felt like I couldn't leave anything I had put in there out. All in all, I really liked writing this narrative essay.
