As a child, writing has not been one of my strongest subjects. When I write, some sentences sounds better in my mind than they do when I read them out loud during class. I never did write much at home unless I have English homework to do. Once my mind gets into the writing zone, I gain this certain concentration that once I am so into something, I just start writing nonstop. Eventually when I have to stop to do chores, my cloud of ideas gets blown away with a gust of wind.

I remember when I was in fourth grade, I was at my lowest point in writing. Our class had to learn cursive, start using pens, and had to have neat handwriting. I struggled in all those components. I constantly wasted my time scribbling out my illegible

I never really liked people reading my writing, not because of the comments, but what they would think of me as a writer. I welcome all constructive criticism, but there are times I would ponder; would my numerous mistakes change people’s view of me as a writer? I been one who can write about what I am thinking on the top of my head, but I am not sure if it is relevant to the topic we are assigned. When writing something, I always have a doubt in my mind that I am not writing about the topic. Usually, I would reread the essay to see if it is about the topic. There was a time during SAT, well more precisely eight o’clock in the morning, the first section was the writing section. I barely got sleep off my eyes and now I have to write a mini essay about a boring topic. The time limit being only twenty-five minutes, I just had to write with a bit of thought infused. As I write while keeping track of time, I realized that I sort of misunderstand the passage. Knowing there a couple of minutes left to write, I had to quickly make up my mind. I just adjust the thesis sentence a little bit for the essay to be on the same path as the
As the first semester of my sophomore year wraps up, I begin to realize that I have learned a lot in all of my classes. The class that I learned the most from has definitely been my English 111 course. This class have given me so many opportunities to improve my writing skills. With all of the success I’ve had in this class, I believe I will do just fine with writing later in my life.
Scribbling helps develop writing skills. “The Scribble Hypothesis predicts that young children who are encouraged to scribble and draw, and to talk and to write, to compute and to compose about their scribbles and drawings will read more easily and will continue to read for pleasure and for information, will write more easily and will
Writers from professional to elementary students suffer from writers block. Writers block is when you cannot think of anything to write. Writers block is usually caused by stress. The brain then has a reaction which disables its ability to put what it is thinking on to paper. As Patricia Huston describes it, “The right, or creative, side of the brain, seeks to create (in this case, write). This induces the left, or analytic, side of the brain to anticipate all the problems that this action could entail, causing it to go into "overdrive" and inhibit the ability to write.” (Paticia Huston)One knows if they have writers block if they are staring at a computer screen or piece of paper for a long period of time. You also know you have it if the writer just feels unwilling to write or is simply just disinterested in the topic. Avoiding writers block is almost impossible since almost everybody experiences it, but there are still many ways to help prevent or cure it.
For me, writing is like my 13-year-old self. That was the age where I started to really familiarize myself with hobbies I enjoyed such as a painting, playing the guitar, and making videos. It is how I feel towards writing also; it is full of so many different styles and genres, all of which give an opportunity for the writer to be creative. Writing is different for every individual, but for me, writing is a creative and thought-provoking process.
Unfortunately, around middle school, writing started to become a chore. In middle school, I no longer had the freedom to choose subjects I wanted to write about. Suddenly writing became more of a burden than a blessing. It all began with teachers assigning what I considered useless reports, I mean who would want to write twelve pages on Chinese temples? As the years drifted by, my desire for writing dramatically declined.
By the time I was in first grade I had already learned my alphabet, I could count, I could even read a couple of short words. But it was in first grade that I went about learning to read and to write. My teacher Ms. Wiggins would have us write in our notebooks for what felt like forever every single day. I remember trying to write from right to left in that notebook (because I’m left handed) and spelling the word “like” as “lik”. My handwriting was, as to be expected, illegible.
Writing is an important part of everyone’s life, whether we use it in school, in the workplace, as a hobby or in personal communication. It is important to have this skill because it helps us as writers to express feelings and thoughts to other people in a reasonably permanent form. Formal writing forms like essays, research papers, and articles stimulates critically thinking. This helps the writer to learn how to interpret the world around him/her in a meaningful way. In college, professors motivate students to write in a formal, coherent manner, without losing their own voice in the process. Improving your writing skills is important, in every English class that’s the main teaching point; to help students improve their writing skills. Throughout my college experience I have acknowledge that
Thankfully, I had a teacher who realized I was having trouble and helped me master the problems I was facing. At the end of end 2nd grade, I was writing in cursive easily and continued to use cursive throughout the rest of my school career. But as each year went by, I ended up in middle school. Middle school had many new and different challenges that I faced throughout those years. The one thing I remember the most is the dreaded vocab quizzes.

Most of my writings have been those of the classroom assignment variety. The assignments consist of free writes, essays, research and term papers, but none of these come to mind as an experience worth noting. I never had a writing published or received any type of an award. I seldom did any wrtiting out of school, or writing for leisure as some might say. The bottom line is, I just don't have te time to write for leisure, with a full time job, attending night school, and raising two children, my day are consumed rapidly. If I did have the time to sit down and write, I'm not sure that I would write. I keep most of my thoughts to myself, not on paper. Although it does feel nice to express my thoughts and feelings onto the page. I can see my thoughts unfold, and I can organize them to develop new ideas.
People write all the time, whether they know it or not. People write at different times and for different reasons. People write to many different audiences, such as: themselves, significant others, family members, friends, strangers, coworkers, or possibly to nobody. The reasons for writing are endless, it’s useful for learning, remembering, expressing, connecting, healing, or inspiring. Writing can change over time, develop, or be used for different reasons.
Saving memories is sometimes difficult to store in our minds so most people have their own ways to save their own by taking photographs, recordings, and through writing. In my case I am a writer since I was young. I wrote a lot of school magazines, poems and essays. In this essay I will draw few lines about my writing skills including my strenghts and weaknesses. Being the best writer is what I dreamt of from my childhood years.
Writing is a form of human communication that is frequently used to express oneself and express emotion. This competence is influential to society because it is very useful as a tool for cognitive thinking, self-expression, and bountiful forms of creativity. At this point in time, I personally see myself as a strong, proficient writer who has the utmost capability to get a point across, as well as persuade someone through emotions and other variables. This semester, I have greatly improved all of the fundamental skills that are needed in writing, and compared to the beginning of the year, I feel much more comfortable portraying my emotions through the papers that I write.
Storytelling is definitely a good pre-writing activity as it provides students with the opportunity to make connections to the story that was read and the story they have to write. Furthermore, reading a story before writing a piece of work allows for access to the pupils’ prior knowledge and contributes to its enrichment with new information. From my point of view, it is very important that the storyline spurs interest among students so that they are motivated to write about it. Ideas extracted from storytelling allow students to build up their confidence, as they know what to write about. In other words, storytelling helps pupils to think of several ideas so that they have something to talk about. It is also a good exercise for
“The more you read the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you’ll go” (Dr. Seuss).Throughout my childhood and reading Dr. Seuss books this quote was important in my development as a reader and writer. Growing up as an only child my parents wanted to make sure that I had all of the resources I needed to succeed, one being the ability to read and write. The quote by Dr. Seuss was highly regarded by those who wanted me to succeed in life. They wanted me learn to read and write so that I can know and experience more than they have. At an early age reading and writing was stressed to a high degree, but as I got older reading became a struggle and writing was something that helped relieve that struggle.
