A Brief History Of My Writing

I’ve been out of school for quite some time and have decided to get back into school to hopefully better myself, writing papers was always my downfall. Since being out of school the most writing I have done is work instructions for my department at my place of employment. I always had trouble with being able to find enough to say about a subject to meet the requirements set forth by the teacher; this was my struggle. So, I take this class to hopefully better myself in this area and to progress into a better writing style. Topics in this paper are going to be what I see as the 3 stages of my writing history. My very brief writings of High School to the rampant writings in College to the not writing anything for a good 20 years and then needing to write instructions for a company trying to complete validations for the FDA.
Once I got into college the first time, it was a huge eye opener to the amount of papers I had to write and I always found it difficult to find enough information about my paper with the fear of plagiarizing someone else’s work. My experience of writing was very sparse when it came to more than a page of work at a time. Every class I took in college seem to have at least one 10-page paper that needed to be written; I did not enjoy this and found it very frustrating. “Writing is a challenge for most writers, but for novices it is particularly challenging because they have limited experience of the writing process. They have not yet developed a more experienced writer’s understanding of writing or ability to deal with the emotional pitfalls of writing. As a result, writing can fill novices with feelings of dread and self-doubt.” (J. Cameron,
