In his essay, “Becoming a Writer,” Russell Baker explains how something you love can turn into a daunting task. Baker explains that while he loved writing, and even considered himself a writer, he still dreaded his English classes in High School.

The Inspired vs The Real Writer by Sarah Allen’s main purpose was to try and change the way people view writers. They are seen as these all knowing articulating gods, when really, they are people too. They struggle just like everyone else, and any work worth reading had some stress and effort behind it.

I told myself that I wanted to be involved in a career that is very hands-on.

I believe in an alternate life I would have strived to become a doctor or a chiropractor or something fun with the human body. Honestly, I just wanted to study science and discover about the natural world, or be able to diagnose myself. That all was fine and dandy, but somewhere along the way of my baseball clock winding down, and the realization that a business degree was something I never really wanted, or honestly really even needed, I knew something needed to change. The fall of 2014 was my last semester as a baseball player and was my inoculation into a scientific interest that would carry me into

My first writing experience I can remember is from elementary school. I was in the 3rd grade and my librarian asked me to write her a short book because she used to hear me tell my friends stories. At first, I wondered why would she assigned me this hard task. I didn’t know what to write about. I went home and began looking for inspiration for my story.
