Am I Writer?

Writing is a complex process where you need to be careful with your ideas. Sometimes you can express a feeling, but the reader can interpret another one.

I learnt to write when I was six years. When I was 11 I remember I wrote a story about Little Red Ridinghood, I mean I was inspired in by this story. There were three Little Red Ridinghoods  because the topic of the subject,  Arts , was the primary colors. The same year I learnt the importance about  of spelling. Moving onto  2007 when I was 16 I wrote an essay about the economy to participate  in a contest. The prize was a scholarship for studying at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Bogota, so are you wondering: “Did you win?” No, I did not. But I was very happy with my essay and I wrote because I liked writing , it was not a homework.

After I finally decided to study Telematics Engineering . In 2009 I participated again in a contest about writing a story  organized by the press and the Ministry of Education in Colombia. The contest was organized and its name was  Concurso Nacional de Cuento. I did not win.

Now in my job I write emails every day. Sometimes I have no patience and I do not review my work several times because I am very confident, then I have some mistakes of cohesion. Never spelling. When I write an email I always want to quickly press  the send button.

Finally I need to write about my experience with this essay, I am a Spanish speaker and I am learning English, this has been difficult for me because I think/believe  in Spanish I have  a lot of ability in  writing,  I have been told : “This does not look  like your writing in Spanish”, “You have no linking words” and “Your ideas are simples”, however I reflected: “Well Diego, this is normal, you are learning”.


Note:   learned is used more often especially in N. America but learnt is still correct.
