Hello readers, and welcome to my
Creative Non-Fiction blog. My name is Aleah Winter, and I currently attend
LaGuardia Community College. I am exploring my creative and technical side by
majoring in Journalism. After LAGCC I
will be continuing my educational career by earning my M.A. in English and
Journalism, then later on a PHD. I aspire to be a columnist for a
magazine, news paper, or even blog. I enjoy writing about any topic that
interests me, but mostly those related to lifestyle and culture. I’m also
looking forward to free-lance writing and dabbling in other writing outlets.
My love of writing stemmed from
extracurricular activities from middle school. Soon after, I started
writing poems for contests and also participated in the school newspaper. Later
on I started writing short stories and prose. I hadn't realized that I’d like
writing non-fiction until I had to start writing essays for my high school
classes. I was intrigued with the idea of educating readers as well as
entertaining them, which is what I believe creative non-fiction to be.
Recalling facts and events, with a little “pizzazz.”
My favorite part of writing,
through any medium, is being able to express myself. I get the chance to
say to the world, what I may not be able to say out loud. Sometimes I can’t
formulate the words to communicate verbally but when I start writing they just
spill out onto the paper. So much so that my thoughts get rambled and I surprise myself with all the ideas I had on one topic. For me writing
helps me to discover parts of my creativity I never knew I had and I amaze
myself every time.
