Recommended: Personal writing style

The letter to my future selves writing process, was quite different of that than my normal process that I usually follow. Normally, I have to take multiple breaks between my points of writing because if not I will stray off topic. However, during this letter I did not stray off topic at all, and I found myself getting invested within this assignment. The reason I feel that I became so invested within this assignment is because I got to write something that relates to myself, so the content came very natural because it was my own thoughts and opinions. Also, I thought the whole idea of this assignment was very unique because when I was thinking about what points I wanted to cover, I had to think about where I wanted to be at in the future. Upon

  • Perfection In Two Questions, By Lynda Collins

    1318 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although a personal statement is supposed to be mine, in the back of my head, I was thinking that an admission officer would look at this sheet of paper I had written and base my admission on it. Then I felt that although this was supposed to be my story, it was not really what I wanted to say because the purpose was to please someone else. At a certain point, all creativity was gone and my only goal was to have a perfect personal statement. The need to have a perfect personal statement did not allow me to write an essay that was truly me. I already had my mind set that I was going to write what I thought the reader wanted to hear instead of what I truly wanted. I decided, however, that although the two questions of “Is it good?” and “Does this suck?” Barry presents would haunt me for the rest of my life, if my personal statement was not truly me, then I was getting into schools for the wrong reasons. It was surprising how, for so long, I struggled writing this life-altering essay and when I just let it go, and started writing without worrying about perfectionism, I “…was both there and not there… and the lines made a picture and the picture made a story” (124). I was able to write an essay that mattered to me as opposed to something that was a misguided version of myself.

  • My Cumulative Reflection Letter

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the course of the semester, I have learned a lot regarding the process of writing. When comparing my open letter to my DSP, it is very clear how much this process has progressed for me. When writing my DSP, I wrote the initial draft and then edited for grammar, but not really content. When writing my open letter I made quite a few changes to content and had more rounds of revision. My process was as follows: I wrote a brief outline, then I wrote the first draft, then considering the comments that I usually make on my peers’ essays I made structural and content changes, then I sent my essay to my peers for feedback, then I made even more content changes, then I received instructor feedback, then I made even more content changes, and finally I made the final grammatical changes. Clearly, the process for the open letter was significantly longer than the

    “If writing didn 't require thinking then we 'd all be doing it.” (Jeremiah Laabs). Whether a person is aware of it or not, there is a process to writing that everyone goes through. I find it difficult to write essays from time to time, so I follow the writing process. The writing process is an approach to writing that involves pre-writing, drafting, and revising and editing.

  • WR 227 Reflection Paper

    I am writing this letter as a self-reelection after taking WR 227 with you as my Professor. Like I mentioned in my e-mail I am not exactly sure how my career field will use writing, but after taking the class I realized that whatever it may be I will have the knowledge to do so. I feel more confident in my writing ability, and knowledge of how to find any material I could use on the job. Over the last term I would say my writing has grown in that I now know how to write professionally written documents. I would say the biggest success and proudest achievement was writing the resume and cover letter. I had originally taken a class in high school that was supposed to teach a bit of professional writing, but I think WR 227 was much better.

    ...re I like to start with reading the text a few times just to get a better understanding of it this can prepare you for the planned writing. Planned writing helps point out the main points of interest .It gives you a foundation to write from. Which brings me to the final step revising helps a lot only because it gives you the opportunity to hear others opinions on what you wrote as well as you yourself reading and finding things you said in your mind but didn’t put them on paper.

  • Interest Essay: The Importance Of Interest

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing in general has never been a passion or talent of mine. I have always worked very hard when given an assignment to do, but I have never enjoyed it. When I do write, I tend to find it very challenging, especially if it is a topic that I do not have interest in. Having interest in a topic is certainly the key to writing an exceptional paper if you ask me; if I don’t have enthusiasm towards a topic it shows through my writing, and my paper will not be as good as it could be. After taking Writing 102, this has been the most important realization of mine, that I write much better when I feel passionate about my topic.

    When I look at myself as a writer, I never knew I could write like this. From grade school to high school I never really looked at myself as a really good writer. I doubted myself whenever a teacher said, “We are beginning another big paper.” I feared writing and never really gave my writing any thought. However, as I got into college, I knew I would be assigned numerous amounts of papers. As I walked in to the English classroom the very first day of college I was scared. I thought I wouldn’t get anywhere because I thought I couldn’t write anything. Giving much thought into the whole writing process and having many people behind me is when I knew I could write something. As my writing developed many signs of weaknesses and strengths showed through.
