Living With English

My essay has been a struggle for me from the beginning. My first problem was the topic. I scanned through my life and could not find something I deemed worth talking about. At least nothing that was 1,000 words. Topics came to mind. Like my parents divorce or moving back and forth from country to country. But these seemed like they would become a novel not an essay. Then I came up with my essay. I like the story yet I think I still have a problem with my writing style. I'm more comfortable with internal dialogue. How I feel and what I think. But that singularly is not the appropriate style of writing all the time. Like for this story. I tend to run-on(which I hear I do often) and if my mind is rambling sure that works. But not always in this story.
