Essay About My Writing Style

Like transforming from a caterpillar to a butterfly, my writing style transformed from something mediocre to something quite exceptional. In high school, even when I took advanced placement English and Literature courses, I was never good at writing. My writing would lack structure, reasoning, syntax, and a well-defined thesis statement. My inadequate grades on writing assignments lowered my self-esteem, so I assumed I would never enjoy writing papers because I believed I could never improve. However, since attending a university my writing style has improved far beyond my expectation. My EN 101 course enhanced my understanding of the different ways I could approach my writing. Also, it enhanced my comprehension of outlines to complete assignments. Investing quality time into my writing made a substantial difference because I became a stronger writer.

All in all, I have been able to identify and modify gaps in my composition of writing and speech as a result of this course.

Whenever I get a writing assignment for class, it seems like a chore. I don’t have a problem with writing, but papers always seem to take more time than they should.

The task is simple enough, but putting it off always seems like a better alternative to writing.

From the moment I am given an assignment sheet, I begin brainstorming about the paper. I may not use any of these ideas, but I think of them. I also have a tendency to forget good ideas, which leads me to think

Over the course of this quarter, I have written several projects that were like nothing I had ever written before. These foreign styles were a challenge for me. For a long time, I was used to writing only academic essays because that was all I was required to write in high school. I now see that there are many other styles that can deliver that same ideas as an essay if they are written with a clear purpose. Looking back on the course and on my projects I can see that the main issue with my writing was that I focused too much on the style of the projects. I was more concerned with how the projects were written not what was actually being written, because of that the arguments and ideas that I tried to convey lost their impact.

I had heard that it was a difficult class, but that the teacher made it worth taking. Mrs. Mishler, or just “Mish”, was the kind of teacher that students could relate to. Mrs. Mishler made a huge impact on me as a writer.

Many aspects of my writing that have room to improve and I am working on them. I love reading and that is how I work on improving my use of literary devices.

So, I am working on my writing and I am improving on it and my critical reading but there are some aspects of it that are at a somewhat frustrating halt.

Over the eighth grade year, I have learned to effectively use feedback and reflection skills to strengthen my writing. These writing processes taught me to include peer and teacher feedback along with self-reflection to earn a better grade on my writing pieces.

Proof of my original writing process is shown in the essay, titled One Necessity of a Hero: Personal Sacrifice, in which it reflects on the Thematic Unit. To demonstrate my poor writing process, a segment of my original introduction stated, “After analyzing documents from The Hobbit Thematic Unit, I discovered that the principles of heroism involve personal sacrifice.

The score I achieved in the PELA test was shocking (6.5) as it didn’t reflect my previous achievements as a writer previously. Through the reflection and analysis of my writing for this assessment, I discovered that my skills were “in need of toning” with the Writers Diet tool (writersdiet.com). Due to its broad analysis, I went further by using the Pro Writing Aid (prowritingaid.com) and Paper Rater (paperrater.com) to uncover the underlying issues of my writing style. Associating these writing aids with the advice from Grellier and Goerke (2014) allowed me to realise, and practice, tools and techniques I previously had little knowledge about. Improving my text will involve constantly referring back to my outlined elements of satisfactory academic writing, and actively using them when undertaking formal writing. The online tools have also become an important aspect in my plan for improvement as I can
