My Writing In The Past

Writing has always been my most difficult part of English. Reading, on the other hand, is something I could do all day; however, with writing, I grimace just thinking about it. It was not that I did not have anything to say, because I actually have quite a bit to say. I just could never figure out how to phrase what I had to say in just right way on the page. My mom taught me to read and write at a young age. After that, I would devour any book that I could get my hands on. However, I have had trouble with writing since it became more than just my alphabet and numbers.

Writing has never come easy to me. It may be due to my short attention span or the fact I am not much of a reader. When I was younger

When it comes to my writing history the way I express my wordplay has changed a lot in the past year, from not being able to keep my paragraphs on topic to actually understanding how to use punition, this is my greatest achievement. The way I used to write was rattled with tons errors; so much so, that most of my essays were given back because the sentence structure was everywhere. Much like a book by Sean Penn, my ideas were in places that would leave the reader wondering how they got there. In all honesty, sentence structure has always been a clutch that held me back. With regards to this, I like to think that my writing has improved leaps from where I originally started.

Over the course of this class I have learned many things about writing that I did not know before, because I never had any great instruction before i came to college. In Grade school and high school, when I got back a graded paper there would just be words crossed out, or punctuation corrections. There would never be any explanation as to why I need to correct this, or why this is wrong. I would go over the corrections and wonder how this is wrong and why does a comma go there but why doesn 't a comma go here. When reading the corrections and notes you made on each of my papers this year, I more easily understood why something was wrong. I might not have made the same corrections in the next paper, but each paper I got back I understood what was wrong, and what I needed to do to correct it.

I never felt I had a certain distinctive writing style or habits. My writing habits depend on my reason for the need to create something. I work as a Nuclear Security Instructor who is responsible for creating lesson plans, task qualifications, work Instructions, and at times organizational procedures used to educate nuclear security officers. So I would say most of my of the thing I write are given to me as part of the job requirements. How ever I do have a standard I like to follow. I first identify the goals I hope to achieve through my written work. I outline the important information I want to cover to help me develop the work in a chronological sequence of order. I make up a list of objective I want to write about giving purpose to the

I feel I have recently became a fluent writer after my junior year of high school. I always thought I was very well at typing essays and thinking of thoughts quickly and then being able to put them on the screen. I was never right and I have always received a B or lower on my writing assignments. After receiving those almost my whole elementary and middle school careers I was always afraid of coming to high school and getting assigned a writing assignment. I like to read

Time went on, I stopped writing everyday and just wrote the days I was upset or couldn’t sleep. There was a point in time when I would wake up having really weird dreams, so I started writing them down; furthermore, to try and help figure them out. In addition to, three years ago I started writing to myself a year from whatever date that would be on. Focusing on how I pictured my life a year from then, or what I wanted to have accomplished by then. I wrote those letters for emotional release and to have something to look forward to reading in the future. The major issue I assume that I have with writing actual papers is that, I’m so used to writing a journal, therefore it’s hard adjusting to new ways.

Most of us at one point in our life or another have had a friend in which writing comes easy. They can write anything from a personal narrative to a research paper with no issues. However this is not the cause for most of us, we worry and stress about getting a good grade or even how to format our papers. This is writing anxiety, and it can cause some major road blocks, when it comes to getting the results we want. I hate writing and have since I was younger. I had to take English as a second language when I started school not because it was my second language but because I am dyslexic and it prevented me from reading almost at all and severely limited my writing skills. I was finally able to overcome most of my issue by the time I turned

Finally, I will discuss on how I struggled with my writing. Writing for me was very hard because not being able to read or spell really affected my writing. I did get help with my writing but I still struggle with my writing until this day. For instance when I write sometimes I do not know where I suppose to put my commas or semicolons. I am not a very great writer because it's hard for me to brainstorm because I'm not very good at concentrating my mind tends to wonder

In my opinion, writing is not an easy job because when I do not have sufficient knowledge of vocabulary to make better sentences, I need to change the form of the sentence. My adviser tells me that writing an academic paper requires practice and takes time to develop my writing skills. If I decide to continue my education at the graduate level, I have to have a plan for being successful in the future. First of all, I have been optimistic about my writing skills and I will never give up. I always need to have hope and patience in what I am doing, especially

I believe I learned to write either in pre-school or in kindergarten. It wasn’t anything special, but I know I could write simple words. I’ve always feared having to write in English classes. It’s never been a huge part of my life. Growing up my parents definitely thought reading and writing was important, but because my father was a math teacher I don’t think it was as important to us as it was to other families. I do not believe that I’ve ever been a great writer. I can get a B at best usually, but I’ve never felt like an excellent writer.

I was a horrible writer since I was in high school, and I 've always had hard times writing essays for writing classes. I knew I had to improve a lot on how to establish academic essays and learn to come up with good ideas. Every time I make up a mind to concentrate on writing a good academic essay, I always end up rushing through rest of the essay after spending few hours on it. It was easy for me to essays until I took this WR 122 taught my Professor Wood. When I compare myself today with me from the past as a writer, I 've improved numerous amount of skills on writing. Not only I can now write essays better and faster, I 've gather many things about how academic essays are written, and doing researches on essay never seemed so easy after I took this class.

I feel as though I have always been good at writing, if not writing itself but the writing process. My first real writing assignment was in 8th grade when I did a research paper on comics. I had the freedom to talk about what I wanted and could use a multitude of sources. Looking back, I do not know how good it was but I put a lot of interest and time into the paper. My next real paper was not until my junior year where we had to write a junior paper. This was a research paper and my topic was “Internet Censorship”. I like this because it was a topic I was interested in and it was a fun paper to write. I was basically just explain to my audience what I had learned and was teaching them in my paper. It was like getting to write an

The biggest problem that I have in writing is grammar. This is the worst part of my writing, and it really doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I find it very hard to know when to use commas to prevent run on sentences. I usually end up putting the commas in places not needed, or don’t place them where they are needed. This is one of the things that I really have never taken the time out to notice, and probably should. The second flaw in my writing is my vocabulary. I don’t really have a large vocabulary because I am a kid who has read few books. My mother always tells me that reading is power, and that’s how you build a large and good vocabulary.

“If you wait for inspiration to write you're not a writer you're a waiter.” - Dan Poynter. I have felt like writing was not my greatest strength. I feel like I didn't have anything important to say. Looking back to my journal or diary call it whatever I would always write about how my life, the drama middle school me was in, my love life and the fights that would happen between me and my family. I wanted to reflect back on to my work and find out what my strength and my weakness. There have been times where I have been asked to read somebody else's writing. I would think it was so great that I felt discouraged that my work of writing wouldn’t be as great as theirs. My form of writing I feel is more characterized negatively because I don't share my success and triumph often as I would like to.I talk about my failures more. I feel like I do this because I don't want to share about my failures with another human. I know that I would like to write them down so then I can reflect back onto my failures and know how I could better myself and have a better chance of succeeding. I would disagree that my past life as a writer has given me a voice in the world mainly because of the topics I would write about. They weren’t important to others, they were only important to me. Writing in the past was more what was happening day to day and my relationship life, if anything exciting or upsetting happened, my honest opinions of people. Also the secret that I didn't want my mom to find out.
