My Journey with Writing & Storytelling

by Michael B. Judkins

I started just writing in class one day in high school. My writing didn't progress until I  realized something to write about. If anything, I consider myself a narrative writer or abstract. I intend to develop a character into many moving parts which transfer into the story I envision in my head. I tend to think too much, write notes, and create something from there. Sometimes I sit at the computer and start writing.

My path to writing is to be bold with the ideas and characters. Most of the time, I’m writing from a place of emotions and feelings which can turn into sad writing time. If I take that part of the writing and bring a sense of hope, it changes my feelings as a writer during the process -- ultimately, creating my vision.

Storytelling is a way to be expressive, self-explanatory, bold, and courageous. At the same time, you have to inform, educate, and nurture the audience.
