And bienvenidos! (a little more original than 'welcome', don't you think?)
Anyways, there is a reason why I'm writing this to you, and it's not to show off my Spanish skills. It is to inform you a little more about powerful writers. But before we dive in fully into that without a helmet on, I'm going to tell you a little more about my AP class and why this blog is important to my class, though many of you readers are part of that class, so I don't think there's a need to go into that.
Instead I will tell you about why I chose 'powerful writers' as the subject for my blog. I chose this subject because I actually want to become a powerful writer, like Edgar Allen Poe, Jane Austen, and other awesome people. I finding writing to be one of life's most artistic and luxurious....I don't want to say hobby because then it sounds like it's pish-posh and doesn't matter, but it does! It truly does! Writing is a form of expression and if you can't express yourself, then it really is horrid. To put it simple: I love writing, I think it's liberating, and I want to pursue it as a career.
So, when I saw that one of the topics for this blog was 'powerful writers', I nearly jumped. This would be a perfect opportunity for me (and you) to learn about what is a powerful writer and what it takes to be one. Here's what I already know, or what I think I know: powerful writers make for powerful speakers. If you can write one invigorating persuasive essay, than you can convince a crowd of people for what ever good! deed you are trying to do to help the world. You don't exactly have to be a people person to be a good writer, but you are able to talk to people. You could be like Abraham Lincoln. He was a powerful speaker, Gettysburg Address, so he was a powerful writer.
What I hope to learn throughout these next few months is how a powerful writer becomes so good at their writing. There was some times when I believe that they (writers) must be taking some sort of medicine or have a secret club or something, but I realize that a writer isn't something that you create. I'm not sure how a writer comes to be, but I want to figure that out. I want to know more about writing and how one could be considered a strong writer. One question I have is if writing is really all about the voice? Does a writer's voice affect how the text is?
I actually found an article which talks about the writer's voice and powerful writers. I would say only the first two or three paragraphs are the most important ones, but still. It's a good article to read.
So, without further ado, may you enjoy reading!

Dear Vanessa FM,
I am very impressed at the your welcome post. It is very crystal-clear that you actually took some time and thought into this. Consequently, this shows your effort and true passion towards writing and this is the first welcome post that I have liked. Nevertheless, I think that this year-through the subsequent help of the blogs, will really enhance your writing and really make you grow as a writer. I understand by your spoken words on Friday that you enjoy writing. Let me tell your work shows it all. Keep up the good work and thanks for making me read something pleasant.
Your writing friend,
Leo Jagetro
Well Vanessa FM i i have to agree with joel because it does look like you put time into writing this introduction. i really like the word choice that you chose to put into your writing and i hope that you keep at it until you die as an old lady and have many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Vanessa,
Overall I think your one of the best writers I know. Your writing is so unique and understandable. I like the use of high vocabulary in your post. I am glad to see that you actually took time to create your post.
I hope to learn more about the importance of writing through your blog. Most definitely I will be checking your post often because writing to me is also important even though I am not as good as you are.

Vanessa,
Hi so i was reading your welcome post and there is something intriguing about it. It is that you say oh i am going to talk about my AP Class and why it is important but you don't actually talk about this. Maybe next time do write such things that you say you are going to write because what if some stranger does read your blog but does not know why you are doing this just keep this in mind. You know if you accept my recommendation i hope you do the speech that Nelson Mandela did you know his speech was on a packet ms.vernon gave us a week ago. so anyways good blog and i hope you keep doing better and better because as i and all my peers know you are an awesome writer so keep it up and i look for to reading your blog and remember uneliable is not E.T
GOD DAMMIT VANESSA,
Why are you so good at writing.. Well, first off i loved the intro. Very unique. I wish i could have come up with it. Powerful writers seems like a good topic just by hearing it. Sounds better than "the rhetorics of the U.S". (SNOAR). I can't say i really like the topic just because they're writers and I hate reading. But, other than that i love the topic and i would like to know exactly who your inpirational or powerful writers are that really fill your cupcakes with chocolate fists of fury. Keep n writing, i think your gonna be an exellent pwerful writer.
Well i think you had great examples. I like that you use real life examples this help out your writing.I think if you put a little less examples it would make it better. If you put less examples and you get into each of them with more detail it would make your blog more proficient. However,since you put alot of examples it still sounds proficient ,but it would be a little bit better by adding this.
VFM:
So excited to be working with you. :) Try not to elicit so much profanity from your classmates in the future, huh?
