My Reflection On My Writing Skills
When faced with the task of writing all the concerns I had with writing, it came across as easy to write down things I felt unsure about. When I was done, the paper was crumbled and the doubting words about my writing were thrown away…literally. I thought this assignment was a bit inane and that crumbling the paper I just spent my time working on would make me feel substandard, but surprisingly enough, I felt relieved that I didn’t have to face my concerns anymore. It made me realize that I am in this class for a reason and that I am here to work on my writing skills as an individual. If I have any problems or concerns I can contact my professor and work on the skills I feel like I am lacking.
I am looking forward to this semester and the

    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.…

    This new found confidence carried over into the next essay and I found myself with no fear of writing. In fact the next essay felt natural. I was able to prewrite, revise and use citations like it was second nature. I feel like this class has given me a new poise in writing and the dread I once felt about writing has disappeared. I now keep a prewriting journal with all of my ideas that seem to flood my mind when I am…

    The Importance Of Writing: Fatal Flaws In My Writing

    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…

    Honestly is the best policy. Being honest is one of the best traits a person could have. Telling someone the truth is sometimes one of the hardest things to do in life because occasionally it hurts other people, but in the end it’s the best thing for them and hopefully they will realize that. Being honest will make yourself feel better and in the long run it will help the other people too. Telling the truth is so hard for so many people these days but in order for you to feel good you have to do it.…

    Critiquing My Writing Skills

    After being out of school and away from the school atmosphere for so many years, I didn't really know what to expect. I knew the semesters were short and the work load would be large but, that was about it. My wife, who graduated from UMUC tried sharing some of her experiences with me to help me get prepared but, it didn't click until I actually started classes. I was able to learn and benefit from a variety of new things from the class. The biggest hurdle in the class for me was time management. I quickly realized in order to be successful in the class I would need to improve my time management. After taking the Comfit Accuplacer and not doing well on it, I begin to ask myself, Is it possible for one to become a better writer within an eight week period? For the past eight weeks I have been in an intensive writing course that has challenged my writing skills, mind, and creativity. Having the opportunity to write a variety of different…

    My Writing Process

    My Writing Process Writing is a process that came about because people believed that it was critical to record what was happening and being created at that time. Many people view writing as a formal and elaborate form of communication, when in reality, writing is just an extended form of speech. The stance I take on my writing is that when someone else reads my work they should hear my voice and envision me reading the paper to them. Because of the philosophy I have on writing, I avoid the formal process that includes 13 multi-layered steps.…

    Reflective Essay About My Writing

    Throughout the years of my schooling experience I’ve adapted a love for writing and have came to love writing essays. As students moan and groan I silently rejoice because I get a chance to express myself through writing. To me, writing is like an art people use to express things the can’t say face to face. Out of the essays I have written so far this year I definitely have my favorite little pieces. Every writer has that little ‘I really love this part’ in any of their pieces. But, altogether my favorite thing about my writing would be my creativeness while writing. In my personal narrative, titled The Memories That Make Me, the introduction states “Over the months and years, we’ve grown like a melody to its lyrics, inseparable. And now the memories stick like glue… I was almost too quick to judge.” Personally, the metaphor incorporated into the introduction sets off the paper. Towards the beginning of the year we studied origin stories. How Murder Came To Be was one of the most challenging but the…

    Reflective Essay: Improving My Writing Skill

    Last year, I was still a sophomore. I did not expect to graduate early. I know nothing about college. I could not tell the differences between a essay and a passage, know how to start a essay, or having any writing skill. I was a careless student. Deadline and Due Day were not a big problem for me. My sophomore year was also my first school year in the United State. The only English class that I have ever taken was English 10, and it mostly focused on improving my reading skill. One day, I was called up by my counselor, Mr. Mitchell. He said I still need half credit of English to complete the graduation requirement, which means I had to take two English classes in one semester. I was planning to take English 12 and English 11 at the same time, because I thought English 12 would be the easiest choice. Unfortunately, They did not have any English 12 class at fourth hour. After considering for a moment, I decided to take this class, College Writing.…

    Reflective Essay: My Weaknesses As A Writer

    I have more weaknesses than strengths as a writer. I am not the best writer, I have always had struggle in English class. My personal strengths as a write are being able to understand the concept and being able to find evidence to support my claim/thesis. My personal weaknesses as a writer are editing and grammar. Occasionally, I use the wrong past tense and need improvement on sentence and paragraph structure. I tend to repeat myself a lot. Also, my weakness is time essays, I tend to be a slow writer and I do not work great under pressure.…

    Self-Assessment on My Writing

    I always got good grades in English back in high school, but I was a student of the digital age so computers were always my backbone. They have document outlines for pretty much everything (essays, journals, letters etc.). Spelling and grammar check also play big roles in my writing today. I have to admit that if these tools were no longer available to me, and I had to depend on just paper and pen alone, I would have a rough time with my writing. As a matter of fact I used spelling and grammar check about ten times up to this point.…

    Self Reflection On My Writing

    My writing for essays’ isn't all that perfect, and there are some things I really need to work on. One of the first things I should attempt to work on is my vocabulary. I feel that my writing is sometimes boring and words can get extremely repetitive. Working on vocab words and their definitions in class have strengthened my word use a bit. To solve this problem, when I read over my essays, I could try and find words that seem really common, and express my creative writing by using a more complex word. For example, I can look up synonyms to different words, so I have a more intriguing prompt. Vocabulary is one of the most important parts to having an essay that people would be excited to read.…
