What Mike Bunn means when he says “you are already an author” is that we write and think like an author whenever we type or write an essay or just write about anything we have interest in because we write in the way we want the reader to understand what we are talking about. This is what makes us a author because we write to a audience no matter how small or how big, we still write to someone who will want to understand what we are saying. Some of the things that I write myself are small things that ranges from text messages to resumes that demonstrate who I am as a person. These are important and make me an author because I explain to someone about a subject from my perspective and no matter what it is, they will understand what I intend to inform them about. Knowing how to write like an author is useful for my college career because no matter what I study or work in, writing is always a major part of anything related to education, so knowing how to put people in your perspective through writing can transcribe to my work and my studies and make me a better student overall. One particular method i noticed in Bunn’s writing that I would use personally is asking myself questions during a reading because questioning can lead to finding out new things I did not know about before and knowing them now, I can use them to make myself a better author. Also questioning the purpose of the writing and what audience it is met to be for can improve my way of targeting that same audience in a similar writing that i may have to do at some point in my college career. Methods like these could improve me as an author easily.
