When I am in the process of writing something, I have different approaches based on which type of writing it is. Whenever I am doing something creative such as poetry, I like to use rhyme as a means of explaining something. I believe that this stems from my undying love of what I consider “meaningful hip-hop.” After many years of distinguishing which hip-hop albums have the most meaning to me, my ability to tell a story in a similar type of fashion through rhyme has been refined and further developed. I find that writing in this manner is ultimately extremely rewarding and very fun to write. This type of writing style I feel has distinguished me as a writer and as a person. My joy in writing rhyme that pertains to a certain subject is a point of pride to me and helps me to think about my writing topic in a way I never would have before. I suppose this is also my favorite part of writing as well. When faced with writing about a certain subject, I find that I learn a lot more about myself and my own opinion on the subject than I would have ever done so before. My least favorite part about writing has to be the pain in my wrist that I get after writing continuously for a long period of time, such as my English midterms. Every year I have writing-only midterms for my English class and the only objection I have to these midterms is the pain in my wrist I feel after taking it. When I think back to my childhood, I remember how simplistic my sentences were, while they still conveyed a message that I can understand today. My vocabulary has been much more refined and descriptive than in my childhood, and I feel I have come a very long way in terms of the quality of my writing.
