My Writing Good
Growing up through my years of being a teenager, writing has never been exactly my best subject. However, continuously doing something for a long period, usually comes with being able to master a few of the traits. It has been a bumpy road, but throughout my entire life I finally can distinguish the good and bad I've picked up along the way. Nevertheless, with having the ability of distinguishing the good and bad in my writing, I've also been learning how to fix the issues.
In addition, I have recently seen some new and already existing goods about my writing. Firstly, some already existing goods would relate to organization and spelling. With the exception for a word or two, spelling and organization has always been a strong trait of mine. Secondly, with recently completing an activity that was dispersed throughout class, I have seen that I am fairly decent at correcting citations. With that said, I am also fairly decent at detecting plagiarism. Lastly, creating a thesis statement also falls into my goods in writing. Although I'm not the best, developing a thesis can and usually comes easy for me.

From the first paper that I wrote, some errors still hold true about my writing. My punctuation still is not at the level that I would like it to be. Though I feel some improvements have been made, I continue to misplace commas leading to fragments and comma splices. Secondly, correctly choosing word choices still plays a role in my writing as well. I continuously use poor judgement in words such as thing, you, gotten, that’s, I'm, and but. Lastly, Just like the paper before this one, thinking about how to start the essay. However, with lately improving, started a paper and thinking about what to say still is a

    Theory of Writing

    • 1726 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Writing varies from a text message to a novel. Writers often have a difficult task in creating a piece of work that truly identifies the meaning of good writing. Every good writer usually starts with the basics such as genre, audience, rhetorical situation, and reflection of the piece. Throughout this semester, we have gone through all of these key terms in great detail with each new assignment that has come our way. In doing this, not only as students but also as writers, we have come to create our own theory of writing. Every writer has a different theory of writing though most are very similar. Now, at this point in the semester after doing countless journals, in-class exercises, and final assignments, I think I have figured out my own theory of writing.…

    My writing has improved so much since coming to College. In high school, I really didn't care about my writitng at all. My main focus was to get everything done as fast as possible. To be honest, I really don't like writitng at all! I think it's boring and not very fun. My writting was bad in high scool as well, and I didn't really improve at all through my four years. But since coming to UNI, my writitng has changed so much! I care a lot more about it and I am more invested in it. Looking back at my ealriest wirirtng, I thought it was terrible and so much to fix.

    Improving Your Writing

    In efforts to resolve the issue, monthly staff meetings should be introduced, whereas employee work reviews, complaints, issues and any changes within the executive team can be discussed and resolved in a timely fashion; by doing so we can prevent or minimize the effects and cost that problems and unresolved issues can, and in this case have, cause to the company. These meetings will keep the executive team all on the same page while also allowing the employees to feel that they have a time in which their concerns and problems will be heard and also resolved. Holding these monthly meetings will reassure us and help me maintain a healthy, effective and productive office, which in-turn saves the company cost of overtime fees and cost of time and poorly produced work.…

    In the past a thousand weeks, I feel like I have accomplished a great deal. As the quarter ends, I find myself reflecting not only how I have survived my fifth quarter but also what I have learned. The most important thing I have learned so far is how to become a better writer. I did not think it could really happen to me. I did not think I could handle all the work. I did not think I could actually become a better writer. Somehow, after all the hours of writing, and putting effort into my papers that I wrote in this quarter, I became a better writer. I did this because I concentrated on two very important areas. With help from an awesome teacher and my partner, I have become a better writer by improving my skills in the areas of procrastination and content.…

    My Writing Journey

    The Writing Journey Revision is the act of revising, it is to correct, edit and redraft. When I begin to revise a paper, first I reread what I wrote then afterwards, I read it aloud, the human mind won’t necessarily point out the mistakes because the brain will correct what you read and implement it to what needs to be there. Depending on the topic or the importance of the paper, I’ll ask around for help, or sometimes I would ask a friend to edit my paper to point out my mistakes and learn from them. Ever since 8th grade I pushed myself to convert to an improved writer through the art of literature.…

    My Writing

    • 570 Words

    Over the course of the years I have been in school, my writing has developed greatly. My writing has evolved throughout the years but this semester is when my writing became the best I have seen it. Due to my experience and my evolution of writing, my definition of good, effective writing may differ from other people’s perspectives. Defining something as “good” can be quite vague in the sense that good means many different things such as desirable, righteousness, and well. In my first and second “Theory of Writing” paper, I stated that the aspects that make writing good and effective are: having ideas that flow together nicely, not drifting off topic and to not be redundant with your word choice and sentences. I still at this point in the semester…
