Who am I? - My name is Samantha Flood. I am 21 years old. I enjoy hanging out with my family (picture to the right are my two older brothers, Andrew and Larry.), writing, and playing and watching soccer, hockey, and basketball. Who are my favorite writers and/or composers? - My favorite writer is Stephen King. I enjoy stories that are scary and suspenseful.
What types of writing do I enact most often? - I am always posting on Twitter and Instagram but I will always enjoy writing in a journal most. When do I write? - I like to write when I am feeling overwhelmed and creative. Where do I write? - I like to write in my room, where I can make it extremely peaceful and listen to music that helps my creativeness flow. My mindset needs to be in the right place for me to create, which is why I play the music to be creative. Why do I write? - I write for the purpose to get my thoughts out. I believe writing is a form of therapy and it can help me get my mind clear. While also, becoming creative and just letting myself free write. How have my past experiences shaped my author identity and how can I reshape my author identity in this course? - My past experiences have shaped my author identity to be almost like a robot. I've only ever known how to write for school/educational purposes. I don't think the way high school teaches you is to learn your own way of writing. During this course I hope I develop my own writing process to help better my own writing, for school and my own entertainment.
