This thesis is a compilation of my writing. My majors are Preprofessional English and Journalism-Magazine; in other words, I am studying the art of writing. Even though I am a writer, I continue to study writing in its many aspects, including process and publication. Since I am studying the art of writing, I concluded that a thesis consisting of my writing was the prime example of my education at Ball State University.The thesis consists of the following three sections: fiction, poetry, and non-fiction journalist prose. There are titles for each of the three sections, with introductions for each of the fiction and non-fiction pieces and an introduction for the poetry section.
