Reflection On My Writing

Writing has never been a strong point for me. As a kid punctuation was something composed of periods. Then slowly I learned of a structure that was integrated into all papers and it made me a worst writer. Just the fact that an outline was required made what was a creative process became a demanding and uninspiring paper full of blah. As a kid I was sat at a table and told to do my work. Now i have learned that my writing greatly improves if I have music to listen to. In this class I have learned many skills that have helped put the creativity and inspire me to wright not only papers I care about but papers that are a bit of me every time I wright.

The writing process is something I never really did; I still don't do outlines. It used

to be that every time I would do a paper it flowed out of me until I was done or had nothing more to put on the paper I could regurgitate the same format using the same words onto the paper so I had something to turn in on the day the paper was due. Now every word I write is planed and the many ways that I could write the same sentence. It runs through my fingers as they hit the small black keys. Spelling out the long methodical words that together give a whole new meaning to true understanding. The details of descriptions in my papers have definitely improved with the paper I did on Steve Jobs. A skill that not only draws your reader in and helps them picture the small room, with a darker blue wall at the front and the speckled gray desks, but the author's true feelings.
MLA sucks. A full sentence that has never been less true this semester. I have had the time taken to teach me proper ways to write and cite sources. With the practice I have had come with the papers we have written I'm now able to do my works cited without help from other resources. A skill that will be taken onto other parts of school as well as he next English class that I’m taking next semester.
I can be man enough to admit I was wrong. Going into this class I was prepared to have a mother English teacher that just wanted a paper but didn't care to teach. I was ready to be I'm a class that I had to fly by the seat of my pants beacause I had no understanding of what was right and wrong when writing a paper. I was wrong. You are a very excellent teacher. No other teacher has taken the time to explained the format or even how to tie a thesis is to a paper like you did. Coming to this class on the first day I thought there was no more to learn, you showed me that there is still much for me to learn and I love writing when it is something I care about.
The skills that it takes to be a writer I don't hold in my tool bag of tricks. In this class I have learned how to write a paper and cite my sources. This class has grow me as a writer and taught me how to better put my ideas and feelings on paper something I have never been able to do on a scale like this. For taking in the time, teaching me skills that I never had, and showing me writing is not just something for English majors, thank you.
