Strengths And Challenges In The Writing Process

We all have strengths and challenges in our writing process. My challenges are coming up with an idea to write about. I feel that I have lack of confidence in writing. My strengths would be that I am a perfectionist. I always want things just right.

I need to work on coming up with ideas. It comes hard for me to think of a topic and just start writing about it. I need to learn to elaborate more and improve on it.

There are several steps that you can take to improve your writing. One step would be is to learn the basics in grammar. You need to learn the correct punctuation. Another step would be to open your mind and heart up to the reader. You need to expand on your thoughts so the reader knows what you are talking about. Lastly,

always edit your work. I like to go back and read over the paper couple times and add to it wherever I need to expand on my thoughts.
I have done some writing in the past. One type of writing that I have done was writing about my true life stories. Another type of writing I have done has been writing up Bible Studies for our small group lessons. My favorite writing would be a story about myself. It comes easy to me since I know all the details.
My writing from the past till now is different because the teacher provides a certain topic to write about. It is not always about my life experiences. My future writings, I will try to find something to relate to the topic so it helps me to relate to the topic. By finding something that I can relate to the topic will help open my mind to other thoughts. I will need to be more creative and use the thesaurus and take smaller words and make them more creative.
