Mike Bunn means that throughout the course of our life we either have or will have written many different pieces and or genres of writing, therefore turning ourselves into authors. Personally, I don’t think the things I write are of much interest considering I mainly write for school. Assignments given to me make up most of my portfolio of sorts, though I do write for fun, albeit not very often. I use words in many different ways on a day to day basis, the most common being for either vocal or text-based conversations, as well as when I’m reading, which I do quite often. These pre-existing experiences will make sure that I can complete work of either average or slightly above average work throughout the course of college. I don’t expect it to be phenomenal but I do know that I have very good basics which makes it a lot easier to improve or learn new styles or methods of writing.
I noticed his reasoning or the lens/mindset he viewed writing through/with. I plan to adapt that into my own style of writing. Seeing words as building blocks and turning those blocks into a stable structure. As well as thinking more analytically as if I were the author themself and map out the block’s placement and reasoning to create a better understanding of the text. Focusing on my reactions as well as what specifically made me think or believe what it did is the final piece I plan to thoroughly incorporate. My reading and comprehension are shallow when it comes to the usually boring texts I get from school but now I realize that even those boring texts have at least something to offer me.
