My Experience With Writing

A person can read and write a great deal in one day whether they realize it or not. Whether it be texting a friend or reading a textbook for a certain class, you are reading and writing constantly and a daily basis. What surprised me the most about the reading and writing that I did on Sunday was how much I am reading and writing on my phone. Whether I am texting to coordinate plans with a friend for the night or reading a random article I saw while reading a Facebook news feed, I am constantly reading and writing on my phone. I never considered it reading and writing when I used my phone, I just saw it as looking at my phone. Just staring at this four-inch screen for some sort of entertainment. What also surprised me was how much we read without noticing it. You can walk down State Street and you will be constantly reading by looking at stores, posters, or even words on a bus that is passing by. Our eyes and brains are looking at and reading words all the time.

While writing might seem like a simple task, it can be a daunting task for a lot of people. Sometimes it can be hard to express the ideas in your mind in the words of a paper. This results in a disconnect with what a writer may actually think. A great writer is one that can transform his thoughts into words perfectly. This is a craft that takes many years to perfect, which is why writing is troublesome for a lot of us. Many students also have had bad experiences with writing. Maybe they had a teacher that didn’t try to support them and their writing. They might not have ever gotten the help they needed and may feel that they are in a hole where their writing can’t get better. At this point, they just accept that their writing will never get better.

During my past writing experience, I have struggled with formulating and initiating interesting points of discussion, grammar, and transitions. I have often sat down to work on a paper and found myself completely drawing a blank on anything interesting to write about. Whether I am given a specific prompt or general topic to discuss, I constantly struggle with finding a starting point. Once I do, I become too focused on trying to create a poetic sounding paper, rather than focusing on the main discussion points. In some ways, focusing on making my papers poetic have added detail and depth to my writing. However, this frequently distracts me from my papers main theme. One of my biggest drawbacks with writing has always been proper grammar usage.

I became the literate person I am today by mostly writing, I write all the time and I do a little reading. What made me love writing was the fact I found an escape, not on an emotional level, but writing is something to help ease in my opinion. My personal writing has influenced me more than the writing I was assigned in school, I continued it outside of school as a choice of my own, once I started I never stopped. My viewpoint on reading is different than my viewpoint on writing, reading is not that bad but it can get boring. What made me feel different about reading from writing, is probably the fact, reading just takes time, like when I write, I write any and everytthing however I want. But, to read a book, I have to read it a certain way

My experience have been good but not so good. I'm not the best writer I struggle to get my ideas down.

When I was young the last things I ever wanted to do were to read and write, I just never had the desire. When I made it to first grade it was discovered that the main problem with my lack of desire to read and write was the fact that I was unable to see clearly. I was diagnosed and sent to get a pair of glasses that I was to wear full time, then I also spent time in vision therapy so that I would be able to better comprehend what I was seeing. The main reason I was left with my bad vision so long was because I never knew that there was something wrong I only had my frame of reference on what I was supposed to see the world as and since I was used to it being fuzzy or blurry I never realized that there was a problem with my vision.

Literature to me has been uplifting, motivational, and therapeutic; I was hooked from my very first book. No matter what occurred in my life I always had a book or writing as an outlet. My love off reading was the catalyst for my interest in writing. Reading such beautiful novels created a need within me to learn such a craft. My first attempts on my voyage ultimately ended in cringe worthy disasters; however I do believe I have come a long way in my stride to learn all I can on literature. My writing has become much more structured and articulate, I have also seen my literary understanding expand; I do still have a few weaknesses I need to work through, such as my struggle with concentration through timed writing, as well as my less than noteworthy

Writing has continuously served as a getaway in my life. It has kept me from bottling up my thoughts and emotions and has allowed me to express all of these things on paper. Communicating through speaking has always been a weakness of mine. It is for this reason that I often turn to writing to convey my feelings. Though have such an immense passion for free-writing, I have found myself struggling when comes to writing academic papers. Generally, I enjoy writing when it is something that I am interested in. In Composition I and II, I often have had the opportunity to choose the topic that I write my paper on. I am confident that this has been a major turning point for me within my academic essays. Ultimately, Composition I and II have taught

I’m a practiced freelance writer and editor, with experience working for numerous clients and sites. I have authored numerous blog posts, research papers, critiques, psychology and psychiatry, technical scientific articles, product descriptions, press releases, health articles and more.

Every day people use writing to express certain ideas and thoughts we may have and by doing so it shapes the lives people lead by so much. The constant use of writing has allowed people to share and have unique experiences that have shaped who they are as writers. My own personal experiences with reading and writing have allowed me to improve my writing style. The mistakes I have made have only made me a better writer because I was able to learn about the mistakes I had made and make sure that they never happen again. The stories I am about to tell you may also help you improve on your writing style and become a better writer.

All throughout my years of schooling, I’ve had just about, one paper that was about one page long, due every year. My papers never had to be more than one page in length. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing or do many essays. Surely not enough to remember any of the assignments. Writing has never been something I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to many any memories of my writing experiences. I did not think it was necessary to remember any of them since I only had to do them to get a grade. The only writing experience I remember was the first assignment I had in this English 100 class about a writing experience. All week long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, but nothing came to mind as a topic. Then, one thing came to mind, but it was so very vague, I could not write the length that was needed for the assignment. I could only think of a few sentences to write for it. After sitting for a few moments longer, I thought, how about I write about how difficult it was for me to write this essay before it was due.

One question I always asked myself was how I got attracted to reading and writing. Having thought about it, I felt it was simple. As a young kid, I was excited about books even before I could read and write . I always had a giddy feeling coursing through me whenever I sighted a new book. Trying to uncover what mystery was hidden between the covers of the books was my main goal. Like a little Indiana Jones(but without a fashionable hat), it was time for a new adventure— an addictive one. I looked forward to finding the secrets portrayed with images and colorful pictures I barely understood . Accompanied with these pictures were tiny funky looking things that ran horizontally across the pages of the books . I didn’t understand them and felt defeated whenever I opened a book and found only these ant-like things. I disliked them. Eventually, due to reading and writing, I would be granted a means of exploration and self-expression. I did not only find my creative side, but I also discovered who I am through these ants.

Writing has always been something I struggle with. The thought of having to combine all of my ideas into well-structured sentences never came easily to me. That is not how it all started. In third grade, my small sentences were above standards, but as time passed on they were no longer good enough. In about fifth grade my first real essay happened to be assigned. I worked harder than ever even though my confidence stayed on a high from my past work. I turned my paper in later that week and a C- sat on top of my loose leaf. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Devastation took over my body. My writing needed to take up more of my time to lead me to success. Next came sixth grade.

As a child, writing was foreign to me. I spent most of my time playing in the grand outdoors with my sister, or practicing flute or piano indoors. I knew from an early child I wanted to play music, so I had no time for writing, and no interest in doing it. The only time I ever wrote was when required for the annual school celebration of author’s day. Unlike Orwell, I did not want to be a writer as a kid; in fact, I wanted nothing to do with it.

On a cool summer night in Boston there I was, a kid who should have been outside kicking a soccer ball around and enjoying summer vacation, stuck at the kitchen table trying to fill a journal page. At the time, I could not think of anything I hated more than writing. On numerous occasions throughout that vacation, my mom told me I had to sit down and write one page in the notebook on any topic I wanted. This task bothered me so much that I finally told her I would become a scientist so I would never have to write again and could do fun experiments instead. Reading was not my favorite activity either. Unless you found me a page-turning action book with no lapses in excitement, I was almost guaranteed to hate the book. On one memorable occasion, I found a book series about pirates that had everything I wanted in a good book. Yet on the third book in the series, I ran into several chapters with little else besides characters talking on a ship. I became so uninterested at this point that I put down that book for good. For me, reading and writing was boring, and lacked the excitement that could be found in other activities such as playing sports or video games. Even when compared to other school subjects, reading and writing were always number two, below the sciences and math.
