The author Mike Bunn, within the article he wrote “How to Read Like a Writer” when he says, “You are already an author” could mean many things but, I think it could mean that you’re writing a book everyday that book being yourself and where you go, what you do ever chapter that makes you, you. Another thought I pictured it could have meant was of it as a “you can do it” type of statement, like you have no reason to just say I am not sure when you talk everyday to customers, friends, bosses or family the list goes on. Something I write all the time is my life which is back to what I said, I have the ability to pick my own decisions everyday, what I think is right for myself or others. Within my life are many other things I write within like my superhero comics, my journals and even the few diaries I had that I eventually destroy. With all this writing experience it can help my college career, comparing it to writing in those books, to help give myself more brain juice to keep going since it’s not as hard as I perceived it to be on paper. In Mike Bunn’s article something I would love to try in my own writings are recalling every little specific detail of places I have been in my diaries or journals. For example in the beginning Bunn goes into detail about a palace in London and it really helps give a perfect perspective and understanding of the surroundings vividly like as if the reader was actually there. Within the article Bunn also used a technique I would like to use aswell which is restating a sentence differently to possibly convey something better. For example “What are the advantages and disadvantages of starting with a quote? What are the advantages and disadvantages of starting with a quote from the President?” the first side pictures one thing while after reading the second a new picture forms.
