				Writing to Life
	I bet you never thought that in any way that you could compare writing to life. Well for some strange reason I thought you could. So I decided to give it a try.
	Writing has never been my strong point, its one of the hardest things for me to do. I always have something wrong and its never just one thing, its usually the whole paper. You know, that like my life. Life is hard, never easy, and your always making mistakes, but with a little help from your friends you can easily correct the problems. Usually writing consists of planning, and well so does your life. You either make a plan or just go with the flow. Like me! I never plan a paper, and I surely don't have a set plan for my life. I just tend to ramble on in all my papers, and I tend to just coast through my life.
	If your anything like me, you get a writers block all the time. Well in life you sometimes hit that point in life you just don't know what to do next, or either happy, or upset with the ways things are going. And you don't know how to change them, with out having to maybe start all over again.
	So to take it from the top in writing you have the planning stage, the writing stage, the editing stage, and your rewriting stage. With life, you try to plan it out, you make mistakes and work through them and learn your lesson, and last you have your mature stage. After a while you paper will either be good or bad or maybe influence other people. Same with life, you will either enjoy it or hate it. You may even have touched people's lives with your own.
	Right now I'm still in the editing stage of my life. Still learning my rights and my wrongs. It wont be long till I'm in the rewriting stage, I just have a few more things I have to know before I can be truly classified as a mature adult.
