Similarities: Writers are more of a daily thing compared to authors which can be prolonged.

Differences: Different types of writings is where we differ. The types of publications and what is classified as what is blurred.

Active	Prolonged
Journalism	Novels
More Opinionated	Cautious
Dispersed Area of Coverage	Specific Genre

Types of Writing:                                                     Why I enjoy/hate them

Finals/Essays	Can be boring, depending on the topic and extremely stressful.
Poetry	When it comes to simple poetry that’s fine but as it progresses in difficulty it becomes a task and frustrating to me.
Fiction	I enjoy doing this because I can be creative and have happen what I want to happen, there isn’t really a limitation to it.

Short Story to Friend:

                It was the middle of November of 2015. A homeowner was planning a party for him and friends for the holidays. His dilemma though was how to carry out doing the party and getting what was needed. Ah of course, he can contact his best friend. His friend had to drive him to the store in order to get supplies, since the friends’ car was much larger than the homeowners’ sports car. On the way there though a hawk flew into the car and attacked the homeowner and for some unknown reason took his wallet. Since he now didn’t have the money for the supplies the friend had to pick up the bill and ended up lending him some money. The friend took the homeowner home and dropped him off. Alas, the homeowner wasn’t able to set-up everything on his own. He was too short for some things like the putting up party streamers. Reluctantly the friend assisted in the set-up but was also tasked with something else, spreading the word about the party amongst their friends. After the set-up was done the friend then drove to his home and sent out an email, text message and created a short video for the party. Later that night many friends showed up and the party was a success.
