My Writing Analysis
My writing has many flaws I have known that since I started writing. But out of all the problems that I have always had, the one that bothers me the most is that I know I am not producing the best work I can possibly get out. I have always been confident in my thoughts and ideas, but every time I starting writing them down they never seem to be able to go the way I want them to go. My applications for college where an example of this. For all three of the essays that I wrote I know I had great I ideas to address their respective prompts. I had gone through all these experiences and I was ready to write about them. As I started writing them and finishing them I started to realize that at that point they were definitely not ready to turn in. So I took them to my literature teacher and asked her to review them and what I could do to address the problems that I saw. The next day she brought them back and told me that they simply were not cohesive enough. I went back home to review them and I believed that they were cohesive enough and that I stuck to the main …show more content…
I never had difficulty thinking about what to write or how I was going to address the prompt, I also never worried about not having enough written down considering I would produce about three to four pages in a relatively short amount of time. But no matter how much practice I got in writing them I would never feel confident before turning them in. And this stuck with me throughout the year and especially during the AP exam. This has been my biggest problem in writing since I started. I have approached it in many different ways but no matter what I was never able to produce any essay that had my complete confidence in. This has been my writing hump that I need to achieve in order to take my writing to where it needs to

    My writing process all depends on what I am writing. Some writings I can sit down and write the whole things and be done with it, while others can take me multiple days or even weeks. I normally sit down and work on it until I finish, get tired of it, or a hit a roadblock. I try to stop when I feel like I am writing the same thing over and over or if I feel like I just need a break. Most of the time, if I feel like I am writing and it is really bad, it is because it is and I need to take a break and come back to it later. Working on it in pieces normally works well for me, to break it up and take it a little bit at a time. I normally struggle when I do not like what I am writing about or when I run out of information to put in my writing. I…

    learned that to write an effective Essay you should first drift the topic of your essay for example make a diagram of the topic or issues you are going to talk about in your Essay. The topic should be in the middle and start to think about the subjects that are related to your topic, or subjects that will help you get your point across to your readers more affectively. I’ve also learned that by visualizing your story from the beginning to the end can help you to see the picture of what you want to talk about, what can be also helpful is while you visualizing your story you should write down as much information as possible in case you…

    Throughout my time is College Composition I, I learned and developed numerous skills that I will carry with me to college and beyond. While writing the five assigned essays, I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. I believe a strength of mine was my ability to add in personal stories into my essays. For example, in my definition essay, I included my fear of disappointment and how I work to overcome this particular fear. On the other hand, one weakness that I struggled with was style. While writing my essays, I would sometimes use wordy and unclear sentences structures. Often times I would focus solely on improving my diction while writing my papers.…

    Lamott states “almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts”(13) I can relate to this because my final draft comes from a “shitty” rough draft that doesn’t contain any organization, therefore after being revise and edited it ends up being a well-organized and detailed essay. Another example I can relate to Lamott is when she comments “I’d start…

    I now have a more efficient system of planning and write multiple drafts before I feel at ease with submitting an assignment. Not only that, I now feel confident when writing papers and am able to complete assignments with little or no writers block. Although, writing in college has not been the easiest. It took me a while to transition to this level of writing and took a lot of hard work to get to where I am at now. Sometimes, I find myself over reviewing an assignment before I actually turn it in. Not that this is bad, but at times it takes me longer to submit an assignment than it…

    The key topic I have learned that plays a huge role in the writing process is confidence. When writers are confident about their piece and they really love the way it has turned out, then it shows through the entire paper. I always tell my dance students that if they show the audience how much they love dancing, then more people will want to watch them. And I think the same goes for…

    Last year, in my English class, I had to write a research essay on texting and driving. We were given three weeks to plan, research, and write the paper. I went home and began to look into the statistics on the number of people involved in car accidents as a result of texting and driving. I found quotes from people who had caused an accident, which resulted in death, because they were texting and driving. Once I had gathered all of my research, I started to write my paper; my thesis based on the facts and information gathered. When I finished my paper, a peer reviewed and made edits to make sure there were no mistakes and recommended ways to improve the paper. On the day the paper was due, I was more confident than ever in the work that I put into my essay to make it the best one I had ever written. The reason I was so confident was that I had the time to plan my essay and research facts, quotes and statistics to make my paper sound and look very well put…

    Throughout my writing career, I have observed several aspects with the potential to shape any writer’s success. Among the elements, the most influential of them is the English course in which the student enrolls. Moreover, English courses hold influence over a student’s life in that they have a responsibility to either advance or reduce the writer’s skills. The progress in my writing development began when English II guided me through noticing worth in my writing, finding pride in a strength, and appreciating positive aspects of the course.…

    I’m not confident in my writing so I am always questioning myself. It’s so frustrating thinking about getting a grade back on a paper I have recently written only to see a very mediocre grade. For the most part, I put my all into that paper and of course it’s not the best thing ever written, but I tried my best. It’s so discouraging and makes it even harder to write another paper, especially when all I can think about is that I’m probably going to get a bad grade on…

    Throughout this course, I have learned many things about myself as a writer. The most interesting thing that I learned about myself is that I like writing straight to the point. If a question is present, I like to answer it with little details as possible. I like to include all the important information and continue on with the essay. In the future, I can learn to be more detailed with my work which will have a more effective communication with readers. As for difficulty, I have always had trouble with creating cohesive papers. I tend to write whatever is on my mind when writing my essays, and as I write, sometimes my thoughts can be unorganized. I have learned that after writing my essays, I will go back and switch around my work to organize my thoughts more efficiently. I enjoy writing straight to the…

    Reflection Essay

    Liking to write and being able to effectively write are two totally different things. Writing is something that has always been an issue in my life. I have always had issues with writing due to things like MLA format and citation, where to put or not to put that comma, and the stringent criteria that goes along with writing. I do enjoy writing as long as it is not academically structured. If I have to write about an event in my life or tell a story I get interested but once the guidelines change so does my attitude toward the assignment. As for my strengths in writing, if given a generalized assignment, I can put words to paper with little to no effort. The ideas seem to flow from my head like water from a faucet. Now, my weaknesses are of a different caliber. My weaknesses are pretty much etched in the back of my mind. I had this one teacher in high school and no matter how much I revised, edited, or rewrote, the assignment was just not up to her standard. I began to feel almost ridiculed by her unflattering comments. So, after dealing with her for an entire year I began to feel inadequate. Thus my passion for writing extinguished like an out of control fire.…
