Recommended: Importance of writing skills

The relationship that I have with writing is hard for me to explain, it’s bitter-sweet for me. I was introduced to writing as child, and I must admit writing was very easy for me to grasp. I recall learning how to write an essay and being successful in doing so. The flipside to me writing is that I don’t like to read, well we all know that reading and writing goes hand and hand together. Approaching my adult life I began to gain a different type of respect for writing, I realized how much I needed to be able to write and the importance of writing. Writing became a form of self-counseling and I learn to appreciate the ability to write my thoughts and feelings for the moment.

English was my favorite subject in school, I always felt like it was common sense. As long as I could comprehend what the lesson is in the reading portion, the rest was very basic. The only downside to me writing is me having to read, if I am not interested in the subject it’s hard for me to stay focus and really understand what I am reading. The lack of wanting to read sometimes won’t allow me to open up to write and make logical sense. I struggle with staying on task at times as well. …show more content…

I used writing to help me retain information. I am not quite sure why but I am most successful when I take notes during the instructor lecture. No joking, when I am testing I can almost see my notes and I can quickly recall what the answers are. Sometimes I won’t even study what I‘ve written but I have a photographic memory of things after I have written them

    When writing a five paragraph essay, there are five steps one must fallow in order to attain perfection, these steps include understanding the question, brainstorming, writing a rough copy, revising, and creating a final draft. The first and most important step is understanding the topic. The topic of the essay is what the essay will be about and if this is misunderstood, the whole essay will be off course. The second step, brainstorming, will help organize thoughts and ideas so they flow amiably. There are many different ways to brainstorm, some of the most helpful are making a web of ideas, making a list of ideas, or creating a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the conviction. All these ideas will be related to the topic at hand. For example, if the essays topic is about how the earth is affected by global warming, then the brainstorming ideas might include the ozone lair being reduced or how global climate has raised. The third step when writing a five paragraph essay is creating the rough draft. The first draft must have all the features the final will, but does not have to be...

Ultimately it wasn’t until I started reading not because I had to read but because I wanted to, that's when my relationship reached change.

  • Who I Am as a Writer?

    666 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing is a way in which a person can express their thoughts and ideas through the use of words. Everybody has their own writing styles. Some may consider theirs as inspirational while others think of it to be bad. Writing requires a lot of patience and time. In my case, writing has never been my favorite thing to do. I am no Shakespeare and I never will be, writing has always made me feel uncomfortable. In the past, I had always considered writing to be one of the most difficult tasks. I often wrote about topics that were not of my interest. I rarely did any writing out of school or for leisure as most people do. I only wrote because the teacher asked us to. Writing has always been forced onto me. Even though my writing isn't that great, I've felt that I've never been given the freedom to express my voice. Academic writing has always made me anxious. And, anxiety had resulted in my procrastination. Even though I consider writing to be one of the toughest tasks, I've felt that giving myself enough time to think allows me to do better. Silence helps me think beyond horizons. However, the fear of impressing someone, the anxiety and frustration is what makes me a developing writer.

    My English Literature major has helped me to achieve an outstanding level of appreciation, enjoyment, and knowledge of both American and British Literature. As a high school AP English student, I struggled through great works like Hamlet and To the Lighthouse. My teacher’s daily lectures (there was no such thing as class discussion) taught me merely to interpret the works as critics had in the past. I did not enjoy the reading or writing process. As a freshman at Loras, I was enrolled in the Critical Writing: Poetry class. For the first time since grade school, my writing ability was praised and the sharing of my ideas was encouraged by an enthusiastic and nurturing professor. Despite the difficulty of poetry, I enjoyed reading it. Because of my wonderful experience in Critical Writing, my love for reading and writing was renewed and my confidence in my abilities as a writer had been restored. I decided to take a second chance on English by declaring Literature and Writing as my majors.

  • Personal Experience with Writing

    I have always considered writing to be a work in progress, and it constantly can be improved. I have always been devoted to writing. I loved to write stories as a child because I could use my creativity and create any type of character I desired. But I have struggled with writing as well. English has never been my forte. I have received A’s, B’s, C’s, and D’s on essays. I truly never found my voice in writing. In my high school, English teachers would give me mixed reviews on my writing. For example, in 9th grade my English teacher said I was organized with my thoughts, and my writing process was excellent. While in 10th,11th grade ,12th grade my teachers only said negative things about my essays. Not being a strong writer made me despise writing. Then I started to believe that writing is not important. I came to conclusion that writing is not important ,because I am going to be a Math major. I had the mindset that I am not a writer, and will never be a writer. But, my thoughts about writing changed when I started taking English at CSUN.

  • Reflective Essay: My Writing Experience

    817 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing for me has always been a love and hate relationship since I could remember. Depending on the subject matter that I was writing about I would enjoy it because it suited my style or I loathed it because that specific style was uninteresting and boring to me. Learning certain writing formats were absolutely the worst part about writing when I first started learning in high school. As time pushed on and I grew older I began to develop an appreciation for writing that I did not have before; which is what led me to taking Writing 101 as my first full-fledged college course. I began this course with minimal writing experience because of what I failed to retain before, but now I am a stronger writer than I could have imagined with new skill sets that enhance my professional portfolio.

  • Personal Narrative: My Writing

    Like reading, in the beginning, I saw writing as a chore, something you only must do when you needed to do homework or at school. It was something your teacher made you do in the beginnings of class to “open your mind.” I hated the idea of writing about how my Christmas was or what I did over the weekend. It was all too tedious and boring, because it was never about what I wanted to write about, fiction.

  • Personal Narrative: I M A Good Writer

    Sherman Alexie once said “I’m a good writer who may be a great writer one day.” This quote is an excellent explanation about how I feel toward my own writing. Reading and writing has always been a part of school that I have enjoyed since I first learned how to. Usually, I enjoy reading to a further extent than writing; in spite of this, only under certain circumstances, do I enjoy reading. If a teacher were to assign a book to read for a class, I would find it difficult to read and appreciate, because I did not find or choose the book myself. Writing, on the other hand, has never been a favorite of mine; although, I would consider myself to be a fairly strong writer. I would easily choose reading over writing.

  • My Writing Career

    The novelist career is truly unique. It has always interested me. The freelance writer career seemed mysterious and exhilarating. Being able to drive someplace quiet and let out all of your hopes and fears into a book is what I want to do. A novelist is someone who writes novels basically. They combine fiction with some real life experiences and write books. Some could say that any ordinary person could do this. This statement is false! It takes someone with creativity and a passion to write. Someone who can take their life experiences and mix it with fiction to create an invigorating book. To be successful in the novelist career, education is required. Since I am going to community college first, I plan on obtaining an Associate of Arts degree. Transferring to Appalachian State University and obtaining a bachelor's degree in English would be my next step. During these four years I am going to take as many writing classes as possible.

  • My Desire for Writing

    I can remember my mother telling me that I was going to be a writer some day. As a child growing up I would always sit in a corner by myself with pen and paper and just write (scribble rather). My mother told me that I started doing this when I was about one or two years old. She taught me how to write my name, the alphabet, and words at an early age. I guess it was during the early stages in my life that my motivation for writing started. In elementary school I learned the basics of writing, which is grammar. Once I learned the basics, it shaped and paved the way for future writing pieces.

    As I stated in my previous reflective essay, I hated writing in grade school. I sucked my teeth and groaned every time my teachers assigned an essay for homework. I don’t actually hate writing. I just disliked it because I never excelled in it. I wrote just to get the job done, but never took the time to pay attention to the writing process and the other aspects of writing. As I grew older and got a career, I realized how important writing was in the real world. From friends revising your status updates on Facebook that were plagued in grammatical errors or writing a professional email to your boss, writing skills are crucial to the real world.
