Describe My Writing Process
My writing process has always been a frustrating one. I like writing, but I don't think I'm very good at it. When I was younger, I loved letting my creative side shine by writing silly stories and pretending I was Stephen King, using words that I didn't even understand.

It’s so discouraging and makes it even harder to write another paper, especially when all I can think about is that I’m probably going to get a bad grade on
