Rection Of Writing : My Reflection On Writing

My relationship with writing is hard, my writing doesn’t always flow well. My writing also doesn’t always come easily to me. More often than not, I have to sit and think for long periods of time, for to come up with ideas on how to start my essays. When I start with paper and pen my hand will start aching, and that makes it difficult to concentrate on what I am trying to express through my writing as it takes my mind off what I am currently thinking of writing down. Writing is the course I have always struggled with the most throughout high school, and through my first year of college.

I have never really considered myself a good writer I have always had problems with starting a paper and sometime even finishing it. I also have problems writing sentences that are too long or finishing a thought, as well as figuring out where to put a semicolon or coma because I tend to just write whatever comes to my

My writing process is simple, extreme procrastination, free writing and then aligning the paragraphs that may make sense together. When I write I mainly just read over the prompt and just type until something happens I often write two or three different passages on the same topic and take whichever bits and pieces that seem good, that is not the best way because sometimes I confuse myself and when reading through will read what I wrote as if it was still in its unedited condition. Most of the time I will wait until the day before to start writing especially if the topic is something dumb like “write about your writing experiences”

Throughout my high school career, I have had to write countless essays. My writing style has improved remarkably each year, as I am very skilled at conveying my ideas on paper using details and emotion, and I have a system of how I construct my writing. However, careless grammatical errors the extensive amount of time I spend writing hinder my improvement with my writing style. Writing in general comes easily to me, but only after I have actually figured out what I am going to write about; which is the tricky part.

Coming into San Diego State University I wasn’t sure what to expect out of any of my classes, especially my writing class. In high school I had taken AP composition and language which helped me improve as a writer but even a college level high school course is not the same as an actual college class. Before college and throughout high school I didn’t think of myself as a great writer, I have always been very average at writing. At the start of the year I wasn’t a very strong writer but RWS 200 is a huge reason how I overcame challenges and became a better writer.

Writing is a tedious job which I must work 110% at, otherwise things would begin to fall apart. I view writing as a task, and I constantly have to push myself to do better and to achieve more, because right now it is just something I do to get done. I have to write, there is no getting around it, and there are definitely no alternative routes I can take to make it any easier. With every assignment, it involves writing, and whether I like it or not, it has to be completed. I have never viewed writing as more than a job or task, because it is something we do so often. I write just to accomplish an assignment; however, in doing so, I have only hurt

As a younger kid in school, writing prompts were always given to us and we either had to finish the story or make one up of our own. These prompts were supposed to make us enjoy writing and to make it seem fun. However, that never did work for me. I have never been one to enjoy writing, not even the fun writing. Over the years I have come to see that the reasons I do not enjoy writing are because I have been made to do it so much throughout my years in school, because it takes up so much time, and because I do not have a big imagination.

I want to be truthful, for me, writing was frustrating before I began college. Many times I had trouble writing about anything. The main reason why I had so much trouble when writing, was because I did not concentrate on my work enough. Even when I tried my hardest to concentrate, my mind seemed to wonder around to different directions towards other thoughts. After my thoughts wondered, I forgot all about my work and just thought about various things such as

When it comes to writing I tend to procrastinate because I'm much more of a math person. This being said, I personally like to approach my essays and writing in a strategical type of manner because if I don't then much work won't get done. First, I choose my topic, if there are some provided. Second, I research/collect information and gathered all the creditable sources I came across. Third, I narrow my research findings, eliminating the weakest, and decided how I'm going to format my essay. Fourth, I begin writing, throwing out ideas, find myself being mocked by the constant blinking of the cursor, and delete much of what I initially wrote until I'm fully satisfied with my writing.

Writing is way that we can express ourselves, it is a way to interface ideas and thoughts and to prove a point. Throughout my writing experience or process I have struggled with writing especially using details or really expressing myself my work. In this course Facts & Fiction: Portraits in World Art I expect to gain more knowledge on how to write a perfect essay, story, letter, and assignment. I expect to learn new genres and rhetorical situations. I also think my writing will improve academically and I will develop my skills in writing. Also taking my writing to a different point of view, level, and writing something different rather than the usual. I look forward to getting feedback from my peers and learning their thoughts on my writing and how they can help me improve.

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s

what can I do to improve my own writing in college? Through high school I was herded, like most students, to write in the basic five paragraph formula and it provided a solid foundation for which to write a essay. But I am in college now I believe that the most important way I can improve my writing is to care more about it, to prod into unconventional sentence structure and to craft better works because I want to do better. In highschool I was more concerned with passing then learning, a mistake I do not intend on repeating. to change how I write fundamentally I must first examine the foundation I use to write, my writing process.

Writing has consistently been a shortcoming throughout my life. The content of my paper was typically not the issue, the organization of the ideas was. I always had good ideas to write about, but I never knew how to organize those thoughts into a well-organized paper. Although in Writing 101, I used the multiple steps of the writing process to insert my ideas into a well-written paper, I continued to struggle in areas such as grammar and mechanics. In Writ 102, I was able to realize that the writing process develops over time, and the best papers result from revision over time. The multi-step writing process that was required for each paper this semester allowed me to develop fundamental revision skills over time that made my writing reach its full potential.

Sitting in the back of the room, waiting for any sign that class was coming to an end, she stared intently at the clock, counting down as each hand moved barely a centimeter. The room started to black out. Nothing but the clock shined. Gleaming down on her and the desk. Click.click. The hands are almost at the time. She dreaded the number three like black licorice is disgusting to children. Once that bell rings, her life is about to fall down a hill. The count starts down from 3,2,1…

Before entering into this class, I thought that I had an adequate skill in writing essays. However, as I started writing papers for this class I began to notice that my ability to write an essay needed a great deal of improvement. At the beginning of the class I was not even able to distinguish the difference between editing and revising, however, I soon learned the difference. Throughout my learning experience this semester I have been able to gain valuable knowledge on how to revise my essays and this newfound knowledge helped me learn how to use revision techniques to improve my essays.
