Based on the thirty-sixth chapter of Everyone is an author, a portfolio is a very

important and useful strategy for the future. Since technology has advance you are able
to publish them on website or use electronic devices instead of paper and pencil. The
main idea of these texts is to be corrected and finished before their official publication,
so people who read them can appreciate its content and admire the author work as a
letter of introduction, potential for a university or work interview.
A portfolio is an important tool to express yourself, all your ideas and
perspectives. When people read your work, they get to know more about you and your
knowledge. Everyone is an author recommends certain rules that you must follow in
order to develop your writing skills. When you check and correct your work, it is not a
failure, it is a way to achieve your goal, your perfect and final writing. Nevertheless, are
we made to write?
So, all of us could be an authors and writers of our lives since we emancipated
them to write and rewrite daily without having to translate it in a paper, nevertheless a
few dreamers are able to describe the universe and its constellations with a simple sheet
of paper and the tip of a pencil. Many people believe that writers are born and if you are
talented you will always be.
Who is a writer? I can spend my whole career following guidelines to form the
perfect rehearsal or I can choose where I want to join every sentence and select which
part of the essay I want to link to conclusion or argument and leave development to the
end (like telling a story from the end to begin). Not everyone can be a good writer. If
you want to be a writer you have to read a lot, improve your skills you cannot say that
you are a good writer if you have only read a book that says the otherwise.
To conclude, a writer has many definitions from the point of view he wants to
see. There are people who have great capacity to develop in the spirit of writing some
more than others. However, we know that our whole life we are in a constant
development of our language without realizing it, every year we learn new words,
phrases and keep them in our subconscious for use it in the future. Writing is a learning
of life and not a gift of the universe. It could be a talent that has developed over the
years, some have developed more than others, but the one that doesnt have it doesnt
mean that you dont own it but that you must exploit it by reading and writing as many
times as possible; It's always a good day to begin (Russo, 2015).
