My Writing Improvements
I have a long way to go in order to become a successful writer. When a person writes something, they should have something to say. It seems that you really won’t have anything to say unless you actually analyze your surroundings, and honestly the amount of things we have to observe is endless.
A weakness that I have improved on throughout the semester is organization of my writing. A lot of the times I would know what to say…but just not how to say it in my writing. When you specifically talked to me about articulating my ideas better through speaking versus in my writing, I began to change my writing into more of an outline format. I mostly realized that my organization changed when I was finished with the final research paper. As you are very well aware, I chose a very confusing topic. I felt like my writing was a little bit “all over the place” in the definition and cause and effect papers because I had little clue as to what I was talking about. I realized how much knowledge I needed of a topic itself in order to even come up with a proposition of the future of what may occur in that field. It wasn’t until I had started over on the research paper about three times when I finally decided on a thesis. When I finally chose something that I could clearly outline and argue, my paper had more of a natural flow to

    Roadblocks: Poem Analysis

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…

    Sequence 1 help me realize that I have the potential to improve my writing given the time and effort. I discourage myself a lot due to my limited knowledge on English grammar and writing. Nevertheless, I subconsciously desire to become a better writer. I approach the topic by selecting my experiences related to the prompt and the most predominant was my field trip to Pepin County. Even though I had my topic, I didn’t know how to start thus my first draft seem weak and unorganized.

    In English 1A I am beginning to understand how to enjoy writing. One fatal flaw I previously had in my writing process was that I tried to write the near final draft the first time, it was a slow and tedious process, that made my despise writing. The tool I used to overcome this is freewriting- being able to just throw out hundreds of words in short amount of time with ease is such a relief when it comes to write an assignment like these. Plenty of my free write words don't ever make into my final paper, but just free writing with no limitations is actually fun. I recall how enjoyable it was to write for the genre paper. The genre paper did it feel like work and I managed to create many great ideas. Freewriting is also useful because the lack…

    The weaknesses in my paper I demonstrated were punctuation errors, weak claims, and repetitive ideas. After rereading the punctuation errors were minor comma and semicolon issues. My sentence style and fluency was weak which made it hard for me to transition to new ideas. One of the biggest issues was my claims. The claims in my paper affected my introductions to my subtopic ideas in my thesis. I didn't introduce them correctly and I didn't add enough context to them. I noticed as well in my paper that I would restate some of the same points I made previously in different paragraphs. I focused too much on trying to connect my evidence back to my thesis that in the process I restated some of the same ideas which became…

    The three aspects of my writing I would like to improve are my grammar, the choice of words I use and making sure my writing is concise, clear and to the point. I have never been self-confident with my writing no matter what the situation has been, from formal writing such as academic papers for college to informal writing such as a basic email at work or a message to a friend. These issues have really affected my ability to communicate effectively at work and in college. As a service member in the United States Army, we must respond to many emails and counsel soldiers about performance on a regular basis. Sitting down trying to figure out how or what to write has been the most difficult part. I have also found it very difficult in choosing…
