Three Aspects Of My Writing
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

    Well, I can now say after reading last week's article by Hass and Flower and this weeks Penrose and Geisler's which was about how important rhetorical reading is and can help understand what you are reading, has opened my eyes to that fact that these are only part of why I have trouble with writing. As I reflect on past writing assignments, I now see it could have been due to my lack of experiences within certain rhetorical situations. Now that I have advanced my education and have gained additional experience on how to approach writing differently, my style of writing seems to flow better, and has become less intimidating. Which has lead to fewer sentence fragments; consistent grammar and being less critical, this has helped me, become a more knowledgeable writer. I can now say I am more like Roger and less like Janet because I now can connect the texts I am reading with real world events or things that have happened within my own life. Ultimately, I have now found that being a more experienced student has helped me improve how to read between the lines and not read just to paraphrase, it has also helped me write a better structured, more comprehensive, and well-organized essay using better examples. The important part of these readings…

    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. My ealries writitng's really didn't have much flow to it and my senctences were moslty run on's. Having Cornerstone this semster really imporved my wirritng. My profesor made writitng…

    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…

    Towards the beginning of English 110, I wanted to improve upon several issues within my writing style. These issues included the frustration of attempting to improve upon my inability to write a coherent sentence after experiencing intense feelings of irritation and boredom. The other problem involved my inability to create seamlessly flowing paragraphs from one to the next. My goal was to improve my writing abilities by practicing and learning to expunge those mistakes and become a caring writer for the papers I had to write. I have met some of these goals with relative success.…

    I’ve always felt that writing was one of my stronger points but it has been many years since I’ve had to do any academic writing. I’m mostly concerned about my grammar; I have forgotten the proper places for comas and semicolons. The ability to get my thoughts together in the proper order are also a concern for me. When it comes to reading, I’ve always struggled. I have a hard time remembering what I read, sometimes it’s as if I’m just seeing the words and not retaining anything.…

    My Writing Style Analysis

    The Nature of a person's writing style can sometimes show more about an individual then the words they actually write, the poetic twists in sentence flow or the professional structure of their grammar. Writing styles are as unique as fingerprints and to define them can be as arduous as mastering the skills required to properly form one. In the quest to define my own style I discovered a detail that I have determined encapsulates the style with which I write; I write with passion. When I say I am a passionate writer I don't mean that I love to write but more that my level of personal affection toward the subject I am writing on directly affects the emotional nature I write in. In other words, I write more expressively and artistically the…

    As a writer, there are things that I do well, but there are also things I could improve on to make my writing better. I’m pretty good at getting my point across, and getting people to understand what I’m trying to say. Another thing I’m good at is just writing the paper. Once I get started on a paper it is very easy for me to just keep writing until I’m done with it. However, when doing this I tend to not use the best grammar and be too wordy with my writing. I can definitely fix these issues, and continue to build on the things that I do well.…
