The Trick of Writing

Most subjects in school have set rules of how to solve or "do it". But writing is different, besides grammar and punctuations, there are no rules. Writing can make people laugh because of humor or cry because of sorrow. Writing can lead to many different things. It can bring you to a fantasy world filled with creatures or the past that makes us who we are today. Everyone's writing style is different. Why do you think there are so many books out there about the same subject? Since everyone thinks differently, you will definitely have opposing opinions and perspectives. Reading goes hand in hand with writing. What I've realized from the people around me is that those who read a lot, are more likely to write better than those who don't read as much.
There once lived an old wise man...okay he's not THAT old, and he's actually my dad. Anyways, he told me that people who read more are usually good writers, because they see the variety of writing styles and techniques the Authors have to offer. Since then, I've been inspired to read more.

So the tricks to writing are...THERE ARE NO TRICKS. Write what's on your mind. Sure, along the way of that 3 page paper, you'll get side tracked onto a topic that might not even be related to your main topic, but who cares!? That's why teachers usually make you revise and edit your paper, so it takes out all that jibbarish. To me, writing is like the act of pouring your heart and soul onto the paper with black ink. You should put effort into each piece of writing. Oh! and don't think of writing as a chore, it makes the process of actually doing it easier and a lot more fun. (:
