The
Transitions Of Writing
What
do you think about your childhood?. Playing traditional games with your friends
from morning to dewfall or you keep on your games until your mother called you
to comeback home?. Or are you fall in love at the first sight with someone make
your weird heart?. There are many things
that you remind about ‘childhood’.
According
to literacy.org.uk in 2021, there are 34.5% young people and children enjoy
while they writing. The children and young people agreeing writing make them
feel better. In another words, Writing as a support system for children and
young people mental wellbeing.
When I was a young age, especially in elementary
school. I don’t remember that grade, but I had a diary book. That diary comes
from my friends, they give a diary as a birthday gift. Early, I wrote many
words in there. One day, I could write more than 2 pages. The writing that I write
is about my activity in that day. As time goes by, I rarely write my activity in
my diary. I just write in different book that I had. When I was felt sad and
had unhappy moment, I will write in that book (no longer in diary).
In
2016, when I was 14 years old. In junior high school, I’m writing so many words
in post of facebook. It contains quotes, greeting (e.g. good morning, friends. Don’t
forget to eat, pray, etc..), Advertisement of event or anything about that. Because
I have been a member of Student council. I’m one of person that active in social
media. It happens because I’m still young, especially young age.
After
graduating from junior high school, I continuing my study in Vacational high school.
Specifically major in electrical engineering. Although I learned a lot of electrical
theory and a lot of practice. Also, I studying another lesson. Including Indonesia
language lesson taught me how to writing ‘makalah’ very well. I and my friends in
our groups working hard to done it. We rewrite many theoris. Finally, because
of working hard we had been finish it. On the other hand, I had writing task
one of them is making ‘field practice report’. The writing is not about theory
that I have been learned before, but what I learn and do in that company. During
do that writing report, I learn a lot of how to way work together and work well.
In
the university, I’m learning technique of writing. Mostly in writing lessons. There
are many theories how to write as a professional. As Janet Mizrahi said in his book “Writing for
the workplace” there are 3 ways to writing as a process, that’s is: AWE (Assess,
Write, and Edit). Assess is knowing the audience is imperative for successful
writing. In asses is completing audiences characteristic. Write is including
information from you gathered. Avoid plagiarism with adding sources or
references in your writing. The last is Edit, Edit is looking at the overall effectiveness
of each paragraph.
Now,
when I’m starting to write something I had in my mind, I will write soon. Because
of I will forget if I have not do that. Indeed, writing is a good way to share the
problems. If we don’t have any people to share that story, you can share on writing
at all of media, manual writing on the book or digital writing in notebook. Writing
is not about write words that you want. But, also you can searching a lot of
data and fact that attached with your written. It will be a nice written. The readers
also can easily to read and understanding the meaning of the words.
Those
are my transitions in writing. It was hardly, but step by step I learned a lot
of way to good at writing. I think my writing good enough to read and for the
meaning I hope it will be easy to understanding. I hope my experiences in writing
will help and be inspired you guys to write what you want. Then, in the future I
hope I can write continuously.
