Six+Plus1 Traits (Ideas)
Ideas are thoughts that are clear. Using my ideas when I write a paper is important. I have to manipulate my ideas to form a transparent background of what i i want my audience to know. When writing i need to know that I'm focused on my main topics. Do i use the same ideas over and over again? Or do they stand out giving it a interesting bite at the apple ever so often. Its the details that count when writing using ideas that can put you in the front or the back. As long as you have a good reason point and can back up up with facts then you can convince your audience what ever you want them to believe.
Six+Plus1 Traits (Voice)
Voice is the most important from the author. Writing an essay, story, or a blog can be very practical. Simple really. But when writing i need to have my ideas and my ideas must remain intact because if i change what is the point of conveying my message? It must be very clear where i stand and i believe. Is this how i sound? Is this what i reason with or do i oppose with?, are all but few questions i ask myslf when writing which can turn something good into something great.
Six+Plus1 Traits (Sentence Fluency)
Sentence Structure is a rhythm. A rhythm that can NOT be broken. in usic with out the rythym the song is useless. Its like banging keys with no direction. The rythym can set the mood for the story. It can be smooth, or rough. Wheather its smooth or rough it can manipulate the readers thoughts and or change the structure. Using a varity of words helps the sentences flow with one another and keep the reader reading. It also plays a key role having a variation of structure in sentences.
Six+Plus1 Traits (Word Choice)
Word Choice can mean everything. Word choice can bring your idea and give it power! It can illuminate your message to the audience. Being repetetive is a huge no-no. It loses your reader and it may become confusing. Confusing enough that you lose the capturing of your audience. Word choice conveys the message in which you want to write. And can bold the inteneded message.
Six+Plus1 Traits (Organization)
Organization is probably the hardest of all the traits. Whit out the organization the reader may just not be interest in your story after the first ten minutes or even worse five minutes. Keeping up with the story is very difficult but learning how to involve several ideas and key factors, ideas , and your reasoning in your paper can be substantially important. learning the ability to organize may include keeping up with my story, fluency, and conclusion. Although for many writers the conclusion may be the easiest for many more it's not. Wrapping up the whole topic in a couple of sentences can be deadly because it may work out great but it also implies that you may make it into a disaster.
Six+1 Traits(Conventions)
Conventions is the sentence structure which includes spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Conventions include little things such as the title, which is the main frame, of how it is written. Conventions is how we interpret the writting that we use to creat the back-bone. The way the paper is presented can have a positive or negative effect on the audience. Great convention structure can influence your reader and your audience such that it convinces the reader through the little things.

Me Myself & My Pen: Who I am as a Writer?
Me Myself & My Pen: Who I am as a Writer?: "As I ponder thinking about writing it gets my mind chased up wondering how i can put my ideas, my words, my thoughts all in a sheet of paper..."
We!
I remember that first time I saw. I remember thinking what do I do? Do i smile? Yes i smiled and i got a smile in return. The eyes were a glossy medium shade of brown. I immediately feel in love with the eyes, it seem to hide truths, secrets, and even logic from me. The eyebrows were black, arched up in a rainbow formation. The forehead was covered by the long black hair that curled out towards all directions. The lips were a perfect symmetric by both sides, it had a pinkish red color that reminded me of the rising sun that awoke me. I inhaled and felt the natural warmth sweet smell fill my nose. I looked and we simultaneously knew that everything was perfect. I put the mirror down and i knew I feel in Love with Me, Myself, and I.
Such Times When...
In my last few years of experimenting with different nature activities, camping has captured me the most by far. I have alternated different things such as rock climbing, cliff diving, rowing, hiking, and camping. My first time camping was when i was ten.
I was frightened by the fact that i was going to be sleeping outside with strangers even tho i (reluctantly) agreed to go. The travel to the camp site was a couple hours away but i distinctly remembered praying that something might happen so that i may be with my mom and not go to this ridiculous camp. During my two week stay at the camp i immediately feel in love with it. The camp counselors, the campfires, the traditions, and the food. The routine was quite simple: Wake up make breakfast, learn nature skills, explore, make dinner, and sleep. The two weeks of camping opened the beginning of a different chapter in my life.
It was many years after that i signed up for the Student Conservation Association. The summer with SCA ('09) was excellent! My summer was spent digging water logs to be replaced with new, build/repair trails, and Camp.
On the last week we spent it in Virginia camping. It was during that time that i found out what i loved to do.
I love to spend my evenings staring at the sun set before my eyes.
I love to wake up and not knowing who I'm going to meet.
I love to be able to wake up and go to the beach with my friends.
I love the summer.
I love Camping.
Such Times when i thought i was dreaming I wasn't. I know that i can look forward to many summer ahead of me - Such Times when...

Who I am as a Writer?
As I ponder thinking about writing it gets my mind chased up wondering how i can put my ideas, my words, my thoughts all in a sheet of paper. Do I consider myself a writer by the number of pages I write or by number of stories I've wrote? I know me more than anyone else thus I do not think i am a writer, I know.
I am a writer. I am a musician. As a musician i know and understand the tempo of my song. Evaluating every note attaching the cords to form a smooth melody by which only the musician understands and knows how the song identifies itself; a harmony.
I am a writer. I am a architect. My ability to structure the words and to organize are endless. To meticulously place my ideas is a form of fulfilment of myself unfolding itself showing you the layout.
I am a writer. I am a pilot. I navigate my wings toward the horizon knowing only what lies ahead and leaving the world behind. I know my mission and i know i will succeed. Listeining to my superior is my weakness but listing to my heart isn't! So let me fly away, circle my feelings, judge my senses, suggest my solutions, reason my purposes to reach my thoughts were i may dwell within them because after all I steer Me Myself & My Pen.
