The only genres I know well are fiction, nonfiction and comedy. I don’t usually read for fun and most of the things that I have read have been for assignments. I have read fiction books such as Frankenstein, comedy books like The Princess Bride and nonfiction writing like biographies.

The only form of writing I have experience with is writing essays, so the only rules of writing I know are related to that. I was taught to write my ideas down first and then turn them into a working paragraph later, which is how I do most of my writing. I have also learned how to format writing properly and search for typos, which I do before submitting any assignments that involve writing.

I do not enjoy having a lot of freedom during writing. Rather than choosing my own topic, I prefer it when topics are chosen for me. I also don’t like having to write my own stories when doing assignments, and I feel much more comfortable writing essays. I like having a form to follow when writing, and if I am not given one by the teacher, I will usually try to make a form for myself to follow because it makes writing easier for me.
