#Writing_Wednesdays- Stand your Ground and Be Proud

        Being  a writer in a public school isn't exactly the easiest. Most people think that writing is boring or a waste of their time, but us writers see things like video games or sports boring or a waste of our time. I get this all the time: "You like writing?" or "You enjoy writing essays?" *scoots away* It's annoying. Just because they don't know anyone who composes poems instead of counting sheep, it doen't mean we don't exist.
