Staring at a blank page thinking about what I should write about. “Wait,” thoughts raced through my mind. I knew what to write about, my taekwondo test. I took taekwondo for 4 years. My most memorable moment was the test for my black belt.
This happened about 2 years ago. Taekwondo was one of my favorite things to do. I loved the thrill of being able to defend myself.
While I was in the Incipient of my story it was hard to find a way to improve my story. My first draft was rough. I just could not think of how to emphasize the meaning of the story. I kept on editing and revising. I’ve had so many people look at my narratives such as my friend Christian, Jaden, Devon, Anastasia, and Jaba. They all helped revises and edit my story but that question in my mind pounded like a drum, how do I get the meaning into my story?
It was a sunny Thursday afternoon, my teacher Mrs. Edwards was going over how to get the meaning into your story. I lightbulb sparked into my mind, I set a goal for myself, I typed and typed and typed until I was proud of my work.
I worked on adding in the show not tell, grammar, punctuation, dialogue, quotation marks, inner-thinking, and getting past writer’s block.
My story has improved so much since when I started. I felt accomplished and complete with my work. I could not believe I finished.
Later that day I showed my parents my narrative, They loved It! I felt so proud of myself. All those hours have paid off I was ready to show off my narrative, The Test.
