My previous writing experiences were somewhat good, but in some areas they were not as good as they should be. Personally some challenges I face in my writing would most likely include comprehending what some authors have written in their writings. I feel I’m not really good at understanding the theme of a story. To overcome this challenge I probably should read more and take time out to look at the words or pictures the authors is trying to depict. I strive to basically help my readers comprehend and understand the emotions I’m trying to place in this writing. I want to better myself by becoming strong in helping my readers to be able to feel the emotions I’m feeling and put themselves in my shoes when I’m writing. Another issue I have in my writing is skimming and grammatical errors. I’m saying this because in my writing I tend to mess up and not notice my mistakes. When other people read my stories or passages they pick up on things in that nature. I hope to better myself and grow in my writing. …show more content…
I’m also very good at showing emotions or putting passion into my writing as I said previously,” I want to better myself by becoming strong in helping my readers to be able to feel the emotions I’m feeling and put themselves in my shoes when I’m writing”. I feel my strengths come easy to me because I feel I’m from a creative family and I’ve been through a lot to show the emotions and passions that I’ve felt going through these tough patches in my young age. To experience the things I did and to make the mistakes I’ve made have helped shape my own unique personality and sense of creativity and style. I know I still have more mistakes I have yet to do, but at least I’ll be able to learn from them and better myself as a person on a whole other level than where I am right
I have learned a lot about myself in the last twelve weeks. I discovered so much about my writing. I learned who I really am once I came out from behind the "Official Style" that I've clung to since junior high. I have to tell you, it was very difficult for me to let go. I felt lost and uncertain. But in the process I found myself, my style, and my voice. I learned to let myself come through in my writing. I have to admit, writing became a lot more fun and interesting.
Composing has always been one of my weakest strengths, because I find it to be a challenging process to put my thoughts into writing. I struggle with expressing my ideas in a way that make it difficult for others to understand the big picture inside my head. During my writing process, I usually find myself spending a couple of hours on a paragraph, just to have it be erase and rephrased in a different way, repeatedly. This is all because I feel like it doesn’t make sense and people wouldn’t be able to understand the concept of my writing. Despite struggling to put my thoughts into writing, this is a skill that I am determine to improve and to become a better writer over time.
Over the course of my life as a writer I have struggled through much, and have also learned much about writing. I have never considered myself a writer, and for the life of me have always despised it. Even as I am writing this paper right now, I am in no way enjoying the struggle to figure out how to make words work together on paper, but to my surprise that does not make me a bad writer. Many a time I have been told I write rather well, though I struggle through every moment of it. Each writer has their strengths and weaknesses and sometimes I believe I am more of a weak writer than I am a strong writer, but to my surprise yet again having both the good and the bad in a writing pieced doesn’t make it bad, just different.
The writing process has never been an easy task for me. Fear and panic are the emotions I instantly have when given a writing assignment. Having to write an essay immediately intimidates me and causes writer’s block. This has as always been a dilemma for me since elementary school. After reading an assignment, my mind starts to get cluttered with all kinds of thoughts racing through it. Do I know enough about the topic? Do I understand what my instructor is asking me to do? What research will I need to do for this assignment? I have to put the assignment away for a day or two to help calm my emotions and thoughts. When I return to the assignment, I will do a little research about the topic to better understand what I am writing about. My composing process includes pen and paper, freewriting, and a hard copy of my rough draft.
Papers are written on a need to complete basis and with that in mind it is occasionally hard to differentiate our professional voice versus our laid back conversational voice. Over the course of this essay I am going to tell you what my strengths and weaknesses are, my expectations on how to become a better writer, and my step by step on how to achieve my expectations. Generally, a writer’s strengths and weaknesses vary; however, mine are fairly common. My greatest strengths include following rubrics and
This quarter has been amazing for me as a writer. Not only did I heavily enjoy the class, but I feel like I have grown both as a writer and as a person. I have had many difficulties writing in all of my scholastic life and I would like to thank you for being the teacher to help me get through them. On the first day of class we did a small self-reflection where we wrote a little bit about what we saw in ourselves. My greatest strength was talking to people, but I never had the confidence in myself until I met my girlfriend.
Over the course of the semester, I feel that I have grown as a writer in many ways. When I came into the class, there were skills I had that I already excelled at. During my time in class, I have come to improve on those skills even more. Before I took this class, I didn’t even realise what I was good at. This is the first class where I felt I received feedback on my writing that helped me to actually review my work to see what areas I lacked in and where I succeeded.
I am not, by any means, a Shakespeare, Stephen King, or John Grisham. It would take enormous amounts of time, practice, and effort to be considered a long shot at a Pulitzer Prize. Yet, I intend to progress my writing by setting more achievable goals, building on new ideas, and developing new skills. Also, I will use the advice of instructors and peers, and draw from previous writing experiences to mold this and future writing experiences.
Strengths as a writer are the ability to write with passion and truth with a personal perspective. My challenges as a writer have been the getting started part with focus and discipline it takes for expression. English being the first language in speech for some, but in perspective writing it is a foreign concept with challenges. The writing of thoughts to visualize on paper is like a blind person writing what he/she cannot see. Blinders block visionary thoughts and imagination to come alive in a lover's lane of passion. The killing of a spirit in the soul for expression words to soar and fly freely without the cutting of a wing. A writer's passion blocked without doors to open and close with no artistic view. Writing was always a hindrance throughout my education path.
A common goal for many writers is to connect with their audience. In my previous essay for this class, my goal was to invite the reader into the magical world of Disney. Unfortunately, due to my lack of preparation, the invitation to the reader was lost. I also was unable to place myself into the viewpoint of the reader making me ineffective in connecting with the audience. For an essay to be effective in conveying a message to the reader it is imperative to always draft an organized outline and to put the author at the same point of view as the reader to avoid any confusion.
Good afternoon Mrs. Shaw, Writers always need to find ways to improve in their writing. Here I have is a list of weakness I can improve on this year to make myself a better writer. One of my weakness as a writer is when I get writer's block it can be hard for me to start writing for a while. I also need to work on proofreading a writing piece. In addition, I also need to work on my punctuation and grammar.
As writers, we all have different strengths, weaknesses, and goals. As a writer my lists of strengths, weaknesses, and goals will never end; however, I hope that with time and practice my strengths will outweigh my weaknesses and I will not stop trying to achieve my goals.
Literature and the writing process have the ability to absorb a reader’s attention for their ability to create new realities. It is clear to all readers that each writer has his or her own personal writing style and tone. Not only does each writer have uniqueness, each writer also possesses their own strengths and weaknesses. Weakness can come in grammar, time management, creativity, and much more. Due to experience, I have become aware of many weaknesses in my writing.
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.
I don’t consider myself a very good writer. I write when I am made to or when I have something that I need to say that I can’t just tell someone. I keep a diary. Usually my diary is just a record of what I have done that day. It’s not so much about my feelings. I don’t really like talking about my feelings, usually because most of the time I am confused about what exactly I am feeling. I tend to keep the feelings that I do have to myself, to protect myself from getting hurt.
