He learned to write in kindergarten, and since then he has grown into a fluent and frequent writer. He writes mostly for school, but he finds that writing can sometimes be entertaining as well. According to Zac, a good writer is focused, understands how to effectively use language, and writes in a way that allows the reader to deeply understand the topic. Zac also believes that in order to capture an audience, a writer must enjoy their subject and use their own writing style to communicate an important idea. Like many writers, he finds most of his inspiration from his own experiences but looks into other sources as well. He thinks most writers write to inform or for their own enjoyment. Zac enjoys the times when he can write freely about a topic of his choice. //By Nick Emery // Assignments Mini Paper 1 (Writing Assignment Good Night and Good Luck prompt 2) Equine Poem Deleted Scene Research Paper (The id, ego, and super ego)
