Hello Everyone,
My name is S.C. Burton and I
am excited to finally be having some of my work shared with others. It has been
a dream of mine to be able to connect with someone through my words.
I began writing at a very
young age. My school was holding a reflections contest and the theme was
“Wouldn’t it be great if…” My teacher required that the entire class submit
something to this contest. So, being the studious child that I was, I was
determined to write the best piece and get a good grade. What seemed to be a
struggle for other students was coming with ease for me. The words flowed onto
the paper and soon I had a story titled, “Wouldn’t it be great if we ate dinner
in the bathtub”. Needless to say, I won
first place and have been writing ever since.
My writing style has slowly
developed and changed as I have grown older. The words have taken on a new
meaning by becoming my way of escaping to a different world; leaving behind any
struggles I encounter. I enjoy taking the experiences I have had in my life and
twisting them to be something new. Often within my writing you will see a speck
of who I am as a person--through the eyes of one of the characters, the
setting, or what they saying.
While I began writing to get
good marks in school; I continue to write in the hopes of sharing my passion
for words. To show the world that words can be whatever you want them to be.
Whether they are used as a place to escape from your daily pains, a way to
connect with someone else, or simply a way to express how you are feeling;
words are powerful.
