ENC1101 - FSCJ 09/20/2017 Lost As a writer, I find myself getting lost. Typically, when I go to start writing I hit a brick wall. It’s as if all my thoughts suddenly escape my mind and I draw a blank. It takes me forever to conjure up some form of a thesis and then takes even longer to figure out what I should write to support it in a way that makes sense. Then, attempting to find a way to organize my ideas and put them together in cohesive paragraphs seems like an impossible task in the moment. It
My Personal Writing Experience I believe that I can improve my writing skills when I finish this semester. I also hope I can use those writing experiences in my future writing. English writing is different from Chinese writing in many ways, so it is a big challenge for me. English is not my first language; therefore, I always have many grammar mistakes and vocabulary problems. It is true that without reading many books and getting to know different styles and writing skill, we never can be a good
since nothing they were teaching me ever grabbed my attention, unless it was related to my immediate interests at the time. I spent years 1st to 5th grade never enjoyed the writing process, since my mind was always a inattentive place, because of this I never caught onto things like punctuation or proper grammar, causing most of my written assignments to be nothing more than linguistic vomit on paper. It was not until 6th grade rolled around, that my best friend at the time, Catalina, had sent me
I enjoyed my experience writing fiction because I got to write a weird story that I liked. Writing fiction allowed me to introduce to others an unusual situation with characters that say silly things. It was rewarding for me to see that people found my story fun. A strength of mine as a fiction writer based on frequent comments I received from feedback is being able to create three dimensional and authentic characters. My Biggest weakness others pointed out in my fiction writing is that I provided
I have always struggled with my writing assignments. If I had the option not to write I would take that option with no hesitation. I truly dreaded it, when we have to type essays. Now, I have been into two English classes where I have felt a little more comfortable in being able to write something without being so embarrassed or ashamed in what I’m about to turn it. I still feel horrible about my spelling and grammar. Throughout my two quarters in a row in English classes, I have to learn that I
required too. My experience with reading and writing has been a stressful, boring, and opportunistic journey. When I was very young, my parents would read to me, but once I started school it all faded away. I don’t struggle to read and write; only the fact that I don’t enjoy the process. For me, both of these are very time consuming and not enjoyable. Although, none of this was fun to me; my parents strived for my success, and mentored me. First, my biggest mentor would have to be my parents because
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
My writing experience started in high school. I was part of the high school yearbook. I was business editor as a freshman up to being the editor my senior year. I also participated on the newspaper staff. I had some experience in college, but I did not finish college. I then did not have any more experience until I started work as a leader at Nisco. I finally started college classes again. When I was in high school I did not have to write much experience with MLA format for paper writing. I did
Being away from college for three years you forget the basic understanding of particular material f or me it was writing. Luckily enough while on deployment I came across a class call Introduction to Writing. Writing 101 help me familiarize myself with the basic grammar and mechanics in college writing, this was an opportunity that many military personnel are unfortunate to receive due to being deployed, where most service members have to interact with their teacher via the internet.
stem from a negative personal experience that they had in the past. Something has had to have happened that would lead to such a negative outlook on these kinds of things. One thing that troubles me in school is writing essays. In my case, it’s a fear of failing. I was always told I that it was a must to try my hardest in school. I always put forth my best effort in all the work I was assigned. This was my mindset for high school and it did me well overall; but my best wasn’t good enough
