I didn't find the School sub-forum, so I just decided to post this here.

Well, I've got to write a "Speech for teenage writer's convention" for English Class tomorrow, and I have no idea what that includes.
It's going to last for around 1-2 minutes, and I need some advice on what to write, and I'd like a Lit. Artist to help me, you others, feel free, as long as your ideas are good, and please don't troll, flame, spam this thread, if you have no idea what it means, don't post.

Grade 9 sir.

Umm, yes, it just says this:


You are giving a speech at a teenage writer's convention.
Talk about differences between being a good writer and a brilliant writer.

That is the stupidest topic i've ever heard, you're teacher must be a slow. You're basically writing about how to write? That's just stupid.

It's a chapter in our english book man. It it a task, I chose to do it in hope of getting an B or A, instead of a D or C in grade, so I picked the hardest assignment.
 
A brilliant writer can write houndreds of pages, and it would still be "catchy" to read . Like J.R.R. Tolkien.

I don't understand how you can write a speech on how to write a speech. It's not that it's hard it's just speeches are meant to be written from the heart on topics you feel strongly about, if you know what I mean.

I do, but still, I have to follow the task, I could just rather write a poem about a brilliant writer, or what it is, and go for a lower grade, if it's easy.

But I'm not to sure about that.

I'm horrible at poems too, so it wouldn't go to well.
 
I have to admit. This topic is a bit hard to actually write about. I'm currently in class now, so I'll be able to help more later on in the day.

I gotta go soon, I'll just risk a mark on my grades to finish it, or I'll try tomorrow. I'm just doing as Cizi said, write that brilliant writers manages to write hundreds of pages and still make it look catchy, goin' good so far.
 
A good writer can convey his ideas into words which are easily understood by people. He can also stretch the story for a while, and conclude the story properly.

A great writer can keep the writer interested and make him desperate to read more, stretch it without the feeling of being stretched, conclude it with a great twist, and use good vocabulary.

I'll add this in.

This is what I got so far.



Differences between being a good writer & a brilliant writer.

I’m now going to talk about what the differences between being a good writer and a brilliant writer is.

A brilliant writer is someone that manages to write hundreds of pages and still make the book look catchy and interesting to read.
A couple examples of this can be: J.R.R Tolkien, C.S Lewis and J.K. Rowling.
Those writers could write hundreds of pages without being bored, and still make their stories amazingly fascinating.
A great writer can keep the writer interested and make him desperate to read more, stretch it without the feeling of being stretched, conclude it with a great twist, and use good vocabulary.

Being a good writer is quite different from being a brilliant writer. You won’t be capable of writing as much as a brilliant writer is, but you can manage to write quite well anyways. Another difference may be that a good writer won’t manage to get his story as catchy or interesting as a brilliant writer can.
A good writer can also convey his ideas into words which are easily understood by people. He can also stretch the story for a while, and conclude the story properly.


If you find any errors, typos, etc, please post them here asap so that I may be able to fix them in before school tomorrow.
 
My Version.

(Title?)Differences Between Being a Good Writer and Being a Brilliant Writer.

There are numerous differences between being a good writer and bring a brilliant writer. [Elaborate here on the introductory paragraph]


Being a good writer is quite different from being a brilliant writer. A good writer isn't capable of writing as much as a brilliant writer is, but a good writer can manage to write quite well. Another difference may be that a good writer won’t manage to get their story as catchy or interesting as a brilliant writer can.
A good writer can also convey his ideas into words which are easily understood by people. They can also stretch the story for a while, and conclude the story properly and effectively.

A brilliant writer is someone that manages to write hundreds of pages and still make the book enjoyable interesting to read.
A couple examples of a brilliant writer are J.R.R Tolkien, C.S Lewis and J.K. Rowling.
These writers write hundreds of pages for a single book, and still make their stories amazingly fascinating.
A brilliant writer can keep the writer interested and make him desperate to read more, stretch it without the feeling of being stretched, conclude it with a great twist, and use good vocabulary.


Enjoy.
 
Here's my version.

A good writer will use simple, but effective language that is easily understood by those of a lesser reading skill and include a plot which is followed with ease by the reader. The vocabulary will not be as complex as a more accomplished writer, however it will be of a standard which earns them the title 'good writer'. This kind of writers text will not have sub-plots included in their work making it more accessible to a younger audience.

In addition a brilliant writer will have the skill to include many sub plots in their stories, switching from different locations, timescales and characters without difficulty. Their vocabulary will be of an advanced level, yet it will flow with the rest of the text with apparant ease. An example of a brilliant writer would be J.R.R Tolkien who wrote masterpeices such as The Hobbit and The Lord Of the Rings, which are still favourited today.

Stop, that is horrible. J.K Rowling is an abomination.

What makes a phenomenal writer?
A phenomenal writer is one that takes you out of your seat and into a realm of infinite possibilities. A phenomenal writer is one that can describe a rock so well, that you feel like you are holding it. A phenomenal writer is one that ensnares his audience and makes them cry for more. A phenomenal writer is someone that can project ideas, dreams, and hopes. They will make you feel a connection to the characters so strong, that you feel like you have known them for years. A phenomenal writer is Edgar Alan Poe. That is my standpoint.
