Hey! My name is Mackenzie. I am interested in writing that you dont have to worry about the structure or if you are doing it right or wrong. I like to write creative stories that i can make up on my own without having too much structure. Writing is fun for me until i am forced to analyze books or poems. This semester i would like to spend time writing about my experiences and other personal stories...i have a lot of those.
Some writers i enjoy reading is Dan Brown, who wrote my favorite book, The Da Vinci Code. I like his writing because the plots of his book are very exciting, but at the same time he manages to throw in all kinds of little facts that are so intriguing. You can never really tell if they are true or not, which just makes it more of a mystery.
Something i had in my notebook was a description of my favorite song. Here's a sample:

My favorite song is "I Can" by Nas. I obviously have many other songs that i listen to on a day to day basis, but if i were to choose a song that i thought was meaningful and not just for the sole purpose of listening, i would choose "I Can." Basically, the song says don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. The chorus goes: I know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, i'll be where i wanna be." And then Nas raps about how there are many kids that do not have a very good education, but they can get through it and succeed in life. I really agree with this because it's so true. There are soo many children who don't have a school like Edina to go to and feel safe, where learning is expected and college is almost not even a choice-it's mandatory. some people grow up where the schools are not so well funded and do not have the best family life, and this song is just saying dont give up...you can make it in life. And it is a very catchy song too, with good rapping. :)

So that's a sample of my writing, its a little cheesy but oh well. I like the song.
