Developing Effective Writing Skills

Research types of writings at college helped me strengthen my writing skills because as I started to research on a topic, not only I learned more in depth, but also learned how to draw further connections outside of the course(class). I want to improve my writings in making correct connections and organizing ideas. Sometimes, I misunderstand the readings and end up making the wrong connections. In fact, my ideas are all over the place whenever I try to make connections, which does not clearly show that I have understood the assignment. These mistakes often led to downside of my grades. The most useful advice I received that helped me improve my writing is that “the word ‘writing’ actually means to put things together, so don’t be afraid of express your opinions in your writing your opinion.” This encourage me not to be afraid of writing and expressing my opinions.

The greatest way in which I would be able to improve my writing skills would be to practice. “Good writing is an acquired art, and it takes practice” (Bethel University, 2014, p. 4). For many, writing comes very easily. But then there are those like me who have to work very hard at becoming good at writing. And when I say that I would practice, I mean that I would set aside time the time to rewrite things that I have previously written so that I could correct and perfect the things that I failed to do correctly the first time. When it came time to do an actually assignment I would initially do a rough draft so that I could work out the kinks prior to submitting the assignment. Some other ways of improving my writing would be to always grammar check and spell check what I have written and to read out loud what it is that I have

By far the most abundant and easily accessible tool to solve your writing problems is to examine the work of an already successful author. From big name writers like Tom Clancy to more obscure, but still very successful self-published authors like Michael J. Sullivan, you can learn an awesome amount simply by examining the sorts of sentence structure, plotting, and descriptions that make up a good writer’s work. In fact, one of the best sources for aspiring writers is Stephen King’s book, On Writing, where King breaks down exactly what goes into great writing and the tools you need to achieve it.

The tips I found most helpful for my writing was to proofread my work, to not allow others to discourage my writing, and to have motivation to think outside the box. To proofread my work means to always re-read what was writing before I turn it in for grading. Proof reading is important because any first time mistakes made can easily be recognized and fixed. When I present my work I may not always have great input of my work, there will always be critiques and negative opinions of how I should write my work. However, I am to remain positive, take the constructive criticism and to not allow someone else’s opinions discourage me from writing how I feel. I also have to have the motivation to think outside the box and that simply means to demonstrate

The writing process has been a difficult process for me for many years. In high school, I did not do well I struggled with coming up with Ideas on how to start my writing.

During this semester, I’ve made a lot of progress with my writing skills. I had trouble recursively engaging myself in the writing process, and using technology to complete/enhance my writing and research projects. I struggled with these because I was too afraid to ask for help due to me thinking I would seem uneducated, or people would think I didn’t know what I was doing, which was true. Overall, I was scared that my teachers would think I’m not paying attention in class and I would lose respect from them. I would also find it hard to find more reliable information, and cite it correctly to prevent my essay from being so short. I improved my weaknesses by working with my peers and asking around to help me, and look for websites that has experts and is not available for just anyone to sign in and say what they believe is valid.

A learner’s ability to communicate effectively through writing to his/her target audiences is a major prerequisite for academic success. It is also a major pillar of success in one’s career across all areas of practice. Even though, writing clearly is critical to one’s academic and career success, I have not always loved writing. In fact, for a long time I despised writing. At one point, I had a feeling that my writings skills were bound to remain stagnated throughout my life. However, time has proven that I was wrong. My attitude and outlook towards virtually all genres of writing has changed positively. The various helpful methods I have been exposed to by my English teachers through different grades have helped me to improve not only my comprehension and interpretation skills but also my writing skills in general. I contend that, the improvement of my comprehension skills and appreciating the importance of thinking clearly has facilitated the improvement of my writing skills.

To be a great writer you need to be infamous through your own self doubt. The ability to evaluate your own essay and be able to give more details on your ideas.

Every author make mistake while writing but they always revise their writing about more than three to four times to make it better.

Well, I have never thought about my writing process before, but I will try to describe it as much as I can. The first stage, which is the most important thing in my writing process is that to know the purpose of the topic that I am going to write about and I have to make sure that believing in the work that I am going to work on.

Learning to be an adequate writer is something I strive for but don’t feel I have yet accomplished. In the past, I can remember spending countless hours sitting and thinking what I should write about. I think my biggest problem is figuring out how to actually put on paper what I am thinking. I am also concerned that the paper I write will not fully express what I am actually trying to say. I have found that if I am in a situation where I have to think of something on the spot or I am timed, I feel very overwhelmed and freeze up. However, I feel one of my strengths would be that I feel fairly comfortable with the rules of grammar and I enjoy that part of English.
