My name is Mason Matteo. I'm 17 years old and I am a dual-enrolled student at Delaware County Community College and Ridley High School. I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, (check out the school I train under here) But I also love listening to music, getting lost in the woods, and Apple Pie.
I Personally don't have any favorite writers and saying one would be out of my position to talk about, but I believe artists and composers in music such as MF DOOM, and Tyler the Creator have writing and lyrical potential similar to authors.
When I write, I like to write in the morning and with a calm and clear state of mind, anything playing on my mind both positive and negative can distract me very easily, and i get the most writing done when I only can think about what I'm writing about. I also like to write in my room with my computer, lighting incense candles all over my room is a bonus as well.
The main reason as to why I write is because of how its the bast way to put your thoughts and emotions onto paper. Its also the best way for others to read and react to in order for those to get a better insight of what you really have to say inside. I hope to reshape my author identity in this course to further broaden my writing skills as a whole. My past experiences may have only shaped my author identity a little bit, since most of my previous writing consists of formal and informational pieces, but I hope to use this class and writing assignments about my personal self will shape my author identity into someone with a real story to tell.
