#9 Acknoledge writing is hard
Now I use to be a talented rapper when I was growing up but it wasn't easy. I have 2 first place trophies from Proctor Center Talent Show. The only thing that always got to me was trying to write my music. Grammar and lyrics are difficult when it comes to writing the type of music I wrote. I had to write the type of music that would reflect on what kind of rapper I was. So I started off just scribble scrabble writing, not making any since. So I kept starting over. I wanted my music to have a message in it, I didn't just want to rap about anything. So what made me get the hang of it was when I started writing about my life and all my past history. It was still kinda hard because it was certain words I couldn't say or use in my raps so, I spent lots of time editing my music. The main thing I found hard about writing was trying to stick to one subject. I think my english class is easier than writing music. But as the time went on I learned how to bounce around and still stay focused on my main point. I have all these ideas floating through my mind even now as I'm writng this blog and sometimes I just get caught up and just write, write, write. I learned from people with experience how to do it correct. Simple as the name of a song would be based on what I would write about.Beginning, middle and ending. It's just like what they teach in class. Have your main idea and lots of supporting details and have it organized so people can understand your point. I wish I would have known this back then, but hey I'm not complaining, we learn something new almost everyday!
