Relationship With Writing
When I was younger, I always enjoyed writing; whether it was timed essays or papers for school, I always enjoyed it. As time has passed I have learned more about writing, including more advanced rules and techniques. As I have grown older, my enjoyment has not disappeared, it has only become accompanied by other feelings such as fear. Through the years my relationship with writing has remained positive, with me recognizing that the benefits of writing greatly outweighing the negative parts.
When it comes to writing, there are many different fears I face. For example, I have a large fear of accidentally plagiarizing my work; ultimately this fear has made me more cautious when it comes to using sources. Another fear is not being able to clearly portray my points, so for this fear I try to stick with an outline to make sure I hit each point and provide supporting details. I find that this directly ties into not writing well because if your writing is jumbled it will not be good work. My last fear of writing is becoming too familiar with the techniques I use and not changing my mistakes. Research shows that apprehensive

Along with verbal skills, written communication is so important in everyday life, especially in a corporate environment. Recognizing the importance of written communication is so important for many reasons. By using writing, I can communicate my point of view to others, providing insight into my thoughts. Writing not only avoids the fear of public speaking but by proofreading and double checking my writing I can produce better quality work. It is no doubt in today's world that social media is a big deal; many people on social media platforms can allow a writer’s message to go viral by simply sharing it to their pages.

    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.…

    After reading the article “The Composing Processes of Unskilled College Writers” by Sondra Perl I have been forced to understand how writers write. The writing process is a situation that is approached from various angles. In the writing process techniques and sequences from person to person are often diverse, but it is one of the ways one may be expressed. The goal of Perl study was to “see how unskilled writers write, can their writing process be analyzed in a systematic, replicable manner, and what does an increased understanding of their process suggest about nature of composing in general and the manner in which writing is taught in schools.” (191) With Perl performing this observation and collecting several amounts of data I decided to perform an observation on my writing by paying close attention to how I write. With analyzing I realized that my writing process have a very sequential pattern. I also have noticed that many acts of critical planning and editing are carried out through many of my writings and it has had a negative effect on the majority of my writing masterpieces. Subsequent to carefully critiquing my writing I have realized that all individuals have a different way they write.…

    The quote “ If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” by Frederick Douglass clearly sums up my experience as a writer. Writing has always been a challenge for me primarily due to a lack of practice and confidence. Whenever I am assigned a writing task, academic or creative, such a journal entry, reflection paper, essay, or research paper, my immediate reaction is instinctively negative and fearful. In addition, I never took the subject seriously in my years of studies because I never deemed writing to be crucial and necessary unless I wanted to become a professional writer.…

    Writing is definitely not my favorite task, but I don’t hate it either. I would say that I am indifferent towards writing. However, writing is a skill that needs to be honed and mastered, because it plays such a key role in almost any career. So when I started working in the lab I was a little apprehensive, because I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. But through my work in the lab I have observed so many different levels of students and how that plays a role in their writing and style; I have even learned some facts about the way I write that I was not aware of. I have learned that I am not very confident in my own writing skills, and I need to work on my writer’s voice.…

    Writing in journals for class or writing stories for entertainment proved to be great fun. The writing level of elementary and middle school was easy to learn and work with. Arriving in high school, I felt confident in my writing skills. High school level writing proved to be more challenging. After English I, I felt unprepared for the rest of my high school writing experience. I grew to become uninterested in writing for the next two years. I procrastinated finishing any writing assignment I was given. Though I received decent grades on my assignments, I could have received better grades had I not procrastinated writing my assignments. My attitude toward writing has changed from disinterested to excited with my Composition I and II classes. I have learned much in the first semester of this course and I have grown to enjoy writing again because of this…
