Writers, Authors, and Genres-Robyn Harvey and Erin Molello

2. There were more similarities in our responses. We all agreed that everyone is an author.

·         Social media has had a big impact on the way people write and how often they write.

·         Writing is just putting together thoughts and ideas, and it doesn’t matter what format you write in. Writing something, in any format, makes you an author.

·         We used the example of Anne Frank and her journal to illustrate that everyone can be an author. She had no idea that her private journal was going to be published, let alone be as popular and important as it is. But even if it hadn’t have been published, she would have still been an author because she was expressing her thoughts.

5. Types of Writing:                                                              Why You Enjoy/Despise it:

Essays	Usually not interested in the topics, forced to do it
Short Stories	Enjoyed it because we had full creative control and could choose the topic

Memo:
 Hello friends! I am throwing a surprise party for my mother this weekend and need help putting everything together! There are 4 things that I would really appreciate your help with. First, buying food and utensils. Second, going to party city for gold decorations. Third, writing invitations and making a list of people that my mom would want at her party. Lastly, making a play list of songs you think would be fun to listen to at the party. Please message me back and tell me which of these you would be interested in helping with. Thanks so much!
