#1~How I feel about and what my experience is with writing and reading.

Writing and reading is something that I enjoy very much.
I love learning about history and reading is the principal way that I have and will continue to learn about history. Someday I would like to write historical fiction for my family.
Reading is usually the way I inform myself about subjects that I have an interest in. For example politics is something that I feel like I need to be more informed about because of the upcoming election. I want to make an educated vote, and I feel that reading many different things is how I will be able to do that.
I like to read things that open my mind to new ideas, or things that support my ideas.
When I read I can be anyone or anywhere I want to be in the story, that is something I do almost every time I read a novel. My favorite reading are the works of Jane Austen. When I write stories I seem to do better when I write them in the same style as Austen's works. This, for me, is one of the most enjoyable things I do, when I am able to find the time.
When I write personal things, about my life etc., I have noticed that I often just write about events or facts. While those things are important I decided that this year I would like to write more about my feelings and thoughts about things, perhaps to even write in a more poetic way.
Reading and writing have been a big part of my life and will continue to be.
