The aspect that has been most successful in my writing is the aspect of my icon. the writing tip that has been more helpful in the creation of my artist statement is making meaning early. It has helped drag my reader into my writing and keep them hooked, also anecdotes have helped me a lot and has given the reader a better understanding of my writing. these writing tips have also been the hardest because they are the most used in the writing and you have to make sure that everyone of your sentences makes meaning early and and has strong verbs. the most challenging aspect of my writing is the fans and his families aspect, it is complicated because its not very easy to explain their thoughts or ideas when you don't know them.

HERE IS A PIECE OF MY WRITING:

Michael started as a beginner like everyone else. He had to work hard to get were he wanted to be. He slowly began to move himself closer to his dream of going pro one day by practicing every day and every chance he could. Then he took a great step into his life and he went pro. All the time and effort he had put into basketball had finally paid off and he was ready to be what he always wanted to be. Michael had various obstacles through his career. The death of his father was something that made him want to end his career. Michael retired from basketball but later in his life he realized that giving up was not what he had pushed himself to be. He knew he had to move on with his life and while doing that he had to do the things he loved to do. Michael has influenced me to do better and be better at what I love to do.

1.) What was a point in Michaels life that changed his life and that proves your point?

2.) What made him wanna give up after his fathers death?

3.) What motivated him to keep on pushing forward?
