The Light Leading The Way
Hey, what's good, I am Jamie Mayer and I am practically 17 years old (just 24 days away!). At the moment I am being educated at Westmont High School, where I am a proud "AP Langsta"; working hard on improving my writing skills and broadening my mind's horizons (while becoming super paranoid about society in the process). To put an imagine in your head: I'm short, red hair (hair dye is magical), have small feet, somehow tanned skin, and hazel eyes that have a dash of green that shines on good days.
As most teenagers I struggle with finding out who I am most every day, but one thing has been clear to me for the longest time. That one thing has shinned through the darkness in life and has kept me on track, and that one thing is writing. Whether it be poetry, writing short fictional stories, working on my book (when that's done I'll let you know), jotting down my thoughts of the day, or even essays for school. There's something freeing, you could even say liberating, about having control over the words put down on paper or type up. You have full control of what's said and exactly how you want it to be said. It gives you a chance to let go. Simple.
Some things you are taught. Some things you pick up along the way. And some things you're born with. I like to think I'm a mixture of all three. Where this passion will take me, I'm honestly not sure, but I'm hoping this blog will help get me one step closer to figuring it all out.

I'm so glad you got the blog up and running. Best advice I can give you is to write, write, write, write. Write as much as you can, then go back, read it over, and re-write it again and again. That's going to be the best way to build your craft, and since you enjoy it so much - win win!
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to see more of your work here.
Hi Jamie! It's Sofia.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your description of writing. I feel the same exact way. When I write I am no longer tethered, I am free (and whether my writing makes any sense at all is a whole different matter).
Although I've known for a while that you write, I've never really gotten the chance to read your writing. I look forward to reading what you write!
Hey Jamie! So I don't relate the greatest to your career path because I don't love to write. Despite that, I think you are an astounding author, because i have had the pleasure to have read most of your rather recent works and I can say that I was sucked in by each and every one of them. So basically, you're a really great writer and you should keep it up so I always have something intriguing to read. Good luck with your book, sounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHello Jamie! I love how you use such creative writing. It really keeps the writing interesting. Usually I don't like to read that often but you're writing is always something new and fresh. Keep writing in the future.
