My Writing Experience

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

Being a writer is not something that comes easy, it is something that must be worked at. You get better at it over time by practicing and improving your writing skills through the help of tools or other people. I persobnally wanted to better my own writing askills, so I began identifying my problems and finding resources to help better those fields in which I need help. My most major problems as a writer include my style or wirting, transitioning, and forming complete paragraphs. I found many helpful tools on my journey to become a better writer and I believe that I have strengthened my understanding of essay writing as well.

Lacking experience in writing and reading, English is my most feared subject. It is the one and only vulnerable spot in my in my mind. I hate writing and I hated reading, other than sports pages in the newspaper or sports books. My earliest time that I started reading and writing was extremely abhorrent for me. Sometimes, you could even say that some of these experiences bothered me. It was quite hard because I wasn’t able to focus on what I need to do. I was even struggling to write my own name. The young mind that I had, it was so easy to get distracted on what I need to learn and also accomplish, especially for the future ahead of me.

From personal experience, I used to be an average writer in high school but during my senior when I took college English, the quality of my writing increased because of more strict guidelines and expectations which in return gave me the ability to improve and learn from mistakes. As matter of fact, if my teacher didn’t point the mistakes out and made me redo it, I wouldn’t have improved and had better quality writing experience or somewhat college-level writing. As can be seen, some individuals might not have quality writing skills as they were not exposed to the level of writing they need to obtain before coming to college which makes them lower than average. In essence,, this could because of many factors such as institutional or family

I often describe myself as an affectionate, animal lover, outspoken, but timid at the same time. I have never described myself as a writer the reason being I’ve never been skillful at expressing myself on paper. At first, as I start to prepare to write I think to myself this is it, this will be the greatest essay I’ve ever typed, this will be the greatest statement ever written. My mind quickly changes when I realize that I have nothing to put down on paper. It took me 2 years to finally take the English courses I was required to take at the beginning of my college years. It frustrates me to look at a blank word document and the blinking arrow cursor, it literally drives me insane. When I took my first developmental writing course, in order to take English 1, it bothered me seeing how fast people could type their ideas in comparison to me.

Today, writing is a very important concept we all need to have the hang of. Through the years I have realized how much writing really does affect our lives. In the beginning, I will admit that my writing skills needed some work and actually, they still do. Writing has shaped my life to have better communications skills when they are needed and shows what I am capable of. I have worked retail for the past four years and being a front-end store supervisor I have learned to communicate quite well with my district manager. Learning to communicate on a professional level with the district manager allows me to show my ability on how I can handle work related situations. I have gained a lot of knowledge by being able to take in consideration

If I wanted to bring up any experience I’ve had with writing, they would all be leaning to the negative side. That's if I can remember one long enough to fill a paragraph. For instance, I could bring up the special group I got put in first grade. It wasn't specifically for writing, but it had writing involved. Or I could bring up the time I gave the best written speech about penguins by a second grader. The paper wasn't up to the teacher’s standards in the end and the grade wasn't too good. Two weeks of my constant hard work to get a letter that lowered my self esteem.

If i am too be honest ,most of my early writing experiences did little to instill in me, the importance of learning

Professional writing in academic and professional spaces has allowed me to develop my thoughts with academic evidence and improve my writing. I always struggled academically in writing all throughout high school. One reason being was that I was never taught the mechanics of the English grammar. So as a result, I tend to overthink my thoughts which hinder me from saying what I really want to say, eloquently. However, I never allowed my weakness in writing to hold me back from achieving what I want academically. Throughout college, I spent numerous days and nights at the writing center to improve my writing skills. My dedication and time I put into my writing is not for a grade but for my confidence. I am not quite there as yet where I am confident in my writing, but throughout my graduate program I have had a tremendous amount of writing assignments where I needed and gained the skills in writing to demonstrate my ideas.

Going into my first college English class I thought I was a decent writer but struggled with the process on getting the final product. At the beginning of the year getting all of my thoughts together, and getting them organized into my paper was a struggle. After making it through my first college English course, I fell that I have grown as a writer and improves in all aspects of writing process. I have also I have also improved my skills with critical thinking, and analyzing different writers and essays. With all of that being said there are still areas that need significant improvement to better my writing.

What I learnt from this positive writing experience is that I am capable of anything I put my mind to do. I also learned the proper ways

My experiences in writing have been minimal. I have only learned the basics of writing, like putting together sentences, forming paragraphs with sentences, and things like that. Since I have been taking college English, I can tell my writing has improved a lot. In the future, I hope to be able to improve tremendously at writing essays, paragraphs, research papers, documents, and stories so that I have very little to no errors with drafting and final products. I predict I will be a well rounded writer when I graduate from college.

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.

The writing experiences I have are plenty and will prove that I stand prepared to undertake the numerous challenges that this course will provide. These experiences come in a wide variety of different means. Nearly all of them come from previous classes I have taken in the past, such as the countless different English classes I have completed in my life. If I singled one out, however, I would say my Junior year English class stood above the rest in developing my writing. This is thanks to the fact that this course was the first one to introduce research into writing. Before, I would simply utilize the book that was to be read as the only source of our papers, but in this course I was thrust into the world of research and our teacher demonstrated how effective research was when producing an essay. This brought about a massive change in my mentality when writing a paper and without this experience I would have drowned in the later stages of Composition I. While more of an informal way to develop writing, online interactions also changed the way I write. Ordinarily, online interactions require you to be able to write
