Reflection #3

   I find in my surroundings many interesting topics to write about. On my headboard one may find a half empty cub, a memo pad and underneath some books you will find a hidden compartment to a new world. This world is my notebook. I look to my left and I see a Target dog that my uncle got me. His name is Milky White and I previously gave away his Glasses to my friend Kayla Price. My surrounding can bring any story to life. I usually get around 80% of my ideas from my room. I can have any topic in the world and find a way that an item will come to life in my writing.
   A great story has a lot of creative ideas but fragments of your life sowed into it and that ties the whole story together. An idea of a dog who was very loved can only be believable when you love have loved a dog before. A good writer has to make their writing believable and so they must make sure there life is in their writing.A story is not about what you are saying but what you mean by what you are saying. You can say the dog was pitch black but what you are showing is that the dog is mysterious, or evil, or even misunderstood. What you say is very important but what your meaning behind what you're saying is.
   While making a fictional life for a person I saw I learned more about myself as a person. I tend to see kindness in people before jumping to evil and I also tend to notice people who want to blend into the background. These themes of loneliness and being shy always pop into my head whenever I look at someone and what this really means is that I want to get to know them better.
