Dear Professor
As a freshman in college, I know myself enough to say that writing has never been my strongest skill. Never. I believe that writing is extremely important and I envy those who can do it with ease. Good writing doesn't come to everyone and it should not be overlooked. Against(Contrary to) popular belief It doesn't always have to be evil and out to ruin your life such as a research paper or a long narrative poem telling of a hero's deed. It can be a bumper sticker on a Volkswagen Buggie or even Amanda Bynes last crazy tweet, now the difference good writing and writing in general is a whole other thing I'll have to get into. If your reading it, it's someones writing. Whether its good writing or bad writing, well it depends on whose reading it really. My writing has never been at the level where I wanted it, and I can confidently say that I would never feel fully comfortable with sharing any of my writing. I have never been able to express my thoughts or ideas through writing; at least clearly. There's something about sitting down and pushing these little button's for hours that doesn't mix with me. Maybe my lack of knowledge about writing could be blamed for my crappy work or maybe even lack of interest. One thing I do know is that my horrible grammar gets in the way with writing, not as much as it should thanks to autocorrect; but I'm sure you won't have a problem seeing my problem. Essay's and research papers have always been my biggest enemies. I have only written poetry for school purposes and I have never kept a journal or anything of the sort nor do i post statuses on Facebook. I do post on twitter, probably more than I should, or more than anyone should for that matter. I absolutely consider it writing. Is it worth a grade or a trophy? Probably not. I can say that I'm confident in my posts on twitter. As pathetic as that sounds, I promise at least one of them would make you laugh. When it comes to reading, I love it. Books of many different

    I would have to say my writing is average and its nothing really special about it. There is some things I want to work on to make my papers as good as they could be. My strength as a writer is that I stay on topic and I hit all the points I suppose to hit. One of my challenge is that I don’t go into detail about my topic. I usually get straight to the point and I will have to go back and add details to meet the word requirements.…

    It's happening right now all around you. Although the “outrageous transformation” has yet to occur, more and more people every day are turning to their smartphones for shopping convenience and comparison. For a Christmas gift for his girlfriend in 2010, Tri Tang went shopping for a Garmin global positioning system (GPS). He found exactly what he wanted at a Best Buy store for $184.85. But instead of dropping it into his cart and proceeding to the cashier, Tri pulled out his smartphone and typed in the model number. He found the exact same Garmin GPS on Amazon's Web site for $106.75, with no shipping and no tax.…

    Personally, I’ve always felt I was a decent writer in all aspects regarding research and personal narratives. Considering those are subjects that interest me and that I love to read about. I struggle the most when it comes to making my writing hold a deeper or hidden message when the topics I am told to write about don’t interest me. Having to do rhetorical analysis with old literature and having to explain the main idea was my number one struggle in AP language and composition senior year. But other than that I felt, throughout high school, I enjoyed writing and taking a majority of the writing classes my school had to offer, not only because it was required but because it was something that teachers and myself felt I did acceptable work.…

    As a college student bad writing is no stranger to me. On my journey to become a great writer I have made many mistakes and you should as well. No Author writes a perfect story the first time, It takes a great deal of revision and hours of word choice to make sure the reader comprehends what is intended to be narrated. This can be very difficult and has been for me as a young writer. George Orwell talks about many different examples of bad writing and what makes this writing so bad such as complex writing and how it is very easy to write but makes it extremely difficult for readers to comprehend. There are four major questions that Orwell asks himself when reading text from other writers as well as his own.…

    Bowen McCoy's (1997) “Parable of the Sadhu” gives us the tale of McCoy's journey walking through Nepal. Half-way through his 60-day trip through the Himalayan Mountains, McCoy and his anthropologist friend along for the journey, Stephen, encounter a near dead, almost naked, barefoot, Indian holy man suffering from hypothermia and exhaustion. They found the the Indian holy man, a Sadhu, above 15,500 while on one of the most difficult summit climbs of their entire trip. Climbing the mountain in the vicinity of McCoy and Stephen, and their assorted porters and Sherpas, were three other climbing parties representing an international flavor from New Zealand, Switzerland, and Japan. While representatives from each climbing party provided some assistance to the Sadhu, in the end, the Sadhu was left behind – with clothing, food, and drink – more than two days journey from the nearest village. The climbing parties all pressed on and made the summit, their goal for that particular climb; the fate of the Sadhu was left unknown. Both Stephen and McCoy supposed that, in the end, the Sadhu died. McCoy's dilemma was simple, at least on retroflection: should he have done what he did – provide some assistance and then press on to complete his goal – or should he have done more. As McCoy suggests, “Real moral dilemmas are ambiguous, and many of us hike right through them, unaware they exist.” (1997, p. 58)…

    Good writing to me means knowing what you are doing. By this I mean you know how to use good grammar, punctuation, etc. I think a good writing piece will also have a noticeable start, body, and end. You know you have written something well when it clearly makes sense and there aren’t errors.…

    I used to believe I was a good writer. Throughout my elementary school education, creative writing dominated curriculum which allowed my extremely creative mindset to thrive. In middle school, I developed an elitist mentality about my writing ability. Believing that I reached my academic peak, I felt no need to sharpen my writing skills, causing me to become close minded to critique or other writing styles. Upon entering high school, I still clung to the idea that I was the best, but after my first week of class, I realized how weak my writing skills were in contrast to those of other students. Now, I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and hope to have come far from my middle school self.…

    I don't have much to say about writing for myself. Writing doesn't mean much to me. I am not a writer. I am an orator. However, writing does mean something to my wife. I love my wife. She loves to write. She spends hours a day writing. I watch words flow from her fingertips as she writes page after page. She doesn't let me read much of what she writes, but when she does, I can see the passion and the joy that she has for what she writes about. I wish that I could write with such a fire.…

    Throughout the year, my writing has had significant improvements, compared to where I began. First, I began this semester fairly confident in my writing abilities. I thought that I had a strong grasp on writing concepts that include: transition words, literary devices, proper grammar techniques, correct paper writing format. In contrast, I felt that I began the year with a weak vocabulary, which has always been one of my weaker areas, If I were to rank myself on day one of class, without knowing all of the material we were going to cover, I would rank my writing skills an eight out of ten.…
