When it comes to reading, I enjoy articles about sports. I like getting on the Internet and reading about the previous days games. I occasionally will read the sports section of the newspaper. I am not a big fan of reading books. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series and Bernard Malamud’s The Assistant and The Natural are books that I actually like. Other than those few books, I do not read in my spare time. Books have to be very suspenseful and have a lot of action to keep in my interest. When books keep me guessing, I find myself not wanting to put them down. Sadly, the books we normally read in school were dull and tenuous. I could never motivate myself to read them. When it comes to writing, I have never written for a public audience. The closest I have gotten to a public piece is last year when my English teacher saved one of my papers to show as an example for next year’s class. I have never written on a blog or created a blog, but I do look at websites where people blog. There is a sports website, yappi, where people talk about high school teams and individual players from around Cincinnati. I enjoy reading other people’s ideas, but I never give my own. I am not looking forward to writing for a public audience because I am self-conscience about my writing. I am not confident when it comes to writing so I am always hesitant to share my papers. Regardless of not liking to share my stories, I am excited to give it a chance.
