Types of Writers

By: Katie Stirling

People write papers in many different ways. Some have to sharpen their pencil every 2 minutes while others zone everyone out the whole class period. These things depend on what you’re writing with, what your topic is, etc.

The first type of writer is the pencil sharpener. These people use the classic #2 pencil and refuse to use mechanical ones. They get very annoying with all the noise they make. They barely have enough time to get their thoughts onto paper because of their inconvenient pencil. Some of these people only do this so they don’t have to do their work.

Another type of writer is the gripper. This person grips their pencil so hard that you can hear it from across the room. The sound of their lead hitting their paper can sometimes distract you from writing yours. They don’t even realize that they have a death grip on their pencil. By the end of the class period they have an indent on their finger that holds the pencil.

The zoned in person is another type of writer. These people get in the zone when they start to write. They know exactly what their topic is and what they want to write about it. They spend the whole time getting their thoughts on paper. They don’t waste any time and don’t listen to anyone during work days. They might put in headphones to zone out everyone, or even ask to go into the hallway to focus.

The last type of writer is the question-asker. These people might get confused and not know how to start or how to continue their paper. They’re always raising their hand to ask for the teacher’s help.

These are only some of the types of writers. These can vary from person to person and there are many more types.
