Why I write? It is not an academic text!!


Why I write? It is not an academic text!!

I was reading "why I write?" trying to find the academic scheme. 
I had to search and think... what were the characteristics and components must have an academic text and I could say that it is not. Because the text is just telling a personal experience giving reasons why a person developed a writing skill it does not have an academic connotation although it has the structure essay. Starting by introduction, a thesis with different arguments and of course it has a conclusion but the academic text is characterized by representative referential (academic) and it is designed to be supportive and transmit  knowledge. it is a highly developed kind of discourse, characterized by the use of formal register of language with precise and specific lexicon
The structure of these texts is based, often in the descriptive and argumentative text sequences with a high degree of generalization and semantics abstraction.
