Strengths And Weaknesses Of Writing

Writing is one of the most important skills that I have learned throughout my years in school. I have learned that no matter how much I love or hate it, writing is a necessity; I might as well try to be good at it. Writing has been in my life for many years. There are many types of writing, educational writing and personal writing are two that I will mention in this essay. I have learned how to allow writing to help me in my daily life. When I began writing I hated it, however, I have learned the many uses of it, and it has become a huge part of my life.

After analyzing many of my written works, I highlighted my writing weaknesses along with notable strengths. Evident in my earlier works, my vocabulary was more basic and was not as powerful unlike my more recent essays. Seeking to improve, I started utilizing words I learned during the year

Writing allows me to express my views as a student. I have always enjoyed writing well as speaking. By writing first, then preparing and reciting notes, I am able to push through the nervous jitters when I have to speak at work. Writing first, then speaking will help you get a clear message across (Young, 2006). For me, being able to write has been healing. As I am sure most families experience issues of some kind, my family had many issues while I was a child. So, writing was and still is a tool for me to get things out and off of mind. A few friends of mine say they do not like to write and would not do it unless they had to. I encourage them to find something they want to learn about, then read about it and the writing will come. We can become passionate in writing about what we are interested in learning about (Quinn, 2015). Well, I do have to write for this class and for school in general. But, I choose to view it as an extension of what I already like to do, which is express my thoughts and understandings about what I read or study. The only difference with school is that someone is telling me what I have to read or study. This can make the learning less passionate, but if I can find one little thing that I can grab on to, it seems to provide me with a purpose to write.

I think the type of writer that I am is a mix between a casual off and on kind of writer and sorta plans ahead in advance depending on what I'm writing about. The way I approach in writing a paper is to write a topic sentence first, then look for facts to support my topic sentence, that I can spread out between three to four sentences and then I try to find a proper way to conclude what I covered in rephrasing facts with the topic for the final sentence. Then After I do that if I have to extend the facts to better explain them, I try to think about what kind of wording can I use to better describe the facts to make sense to the reader to clarify so they can see my perspective on what I'm talking about. To conclude all that I think my strength in writing is over thinking what topic I'm writing about because in the past teachers said to me that sometimes I describe too much in fields that were never necessary.

Writing is a mostly straightforward method I use to express my thoughts and ideas. There truly is a great deal of power in being able to eloquently transfer one’s feelings into words, and that is what I love so dearly about it. It is something I feel so passionately about that it is even my current job, and every day at the Writing Center at my school, I am given the opportunity to help fellow students learn how to express their thoughts in words. It gives me great pride to be able to share my knowledge to others and help them become more comfortable and confident with their own abilities. As for myself, I enjoy writing for both school assignments and for personal reasons, and in writing, I feel that I am able to effectively communicate whatever necessary to my audience. Furthermore, the response that I garner for my writings is typically positive. However, the constructive criticism I do receive is precious to me as well. Though it can sting sometimes, it offers me the knowledge to improve my writings, and without it, my writings would certainly become

During this semester I had some strengths and weaknesses in my essays on my writing and think what I could put on each essay I did. In this portfolio I have included three of my essays that I need during this semester and they are American Nature, Recall my Home, and timed writing 2 called Privacy. They show in many ways how I have improve in my writing and what were my struggles in writing. I have some things that I need to focus on to improve as a writer, and this three essays that I showing, show in what I have to improve on. I have had many many obstacles during this semester in my writing, but I know that I have improved in some of them. I feel good that I have learned many things I did not know before. For example, I didn't know before how to write an essay the correct way and format. Maybe I dont know perfectly how but I know more than before, and I feel good about it. One of my weaknesses were how to have smooth sentences or paragraphs. Also one that I always had

Writing is the tool I use to process my emotions and convey my feelings to others. Creative and freestyle forms of writing are what I enjoy. Writing has been a part of my journey for many years. I write a lot. I write often. Since I share some of my writings publicly on social media, I am regularly complimented on my writing. Some people go as far as to ask me to write a blog or even a book. Writing allows me to face fears, conquer trials, and learn more about myself and others.

Paragraph#2 My strengths and weakness as a writer are after awhile of writing I do get migraines but their not that bad to me I can handle them the biggest issue I have is when I am writing because I had broke my pinky at one point and it freezes up on me sometimes. Another weakness is that my spelling is still not as strong. However a good strength is that I do have a good vocabulary.

Since the first time I picked up a pencil and a piece of paper I have been taught how things ought to be done. Dot your i’s and cross your t’s, check your spelling, and do not forget the period at the end of each of your sentences. Writing shows you understand how to fit together facts and bits of information, but when does the real test of knowledge finally come into play? Your writing must express you, while still managing to cover all the appropriate content. All those years ago I wish I would have had someone to teach me that writing could be enjoyable; but for me, it is just another task that must be completed (and a difficult task at that). Writing has always been challenging; a job in other words, which takes time to learn, and despite its best efforts, has attempted to push me to grow.

Why Writing is Important to Me Writing is the easiest way to express my thoughts; it makes what is on my mind visible. Since thinking happens in our heads, it is invisible. Therefore, writing provides a way for me to present my thoughts in such a manner that they can be seen and clear from one point to another. Writing is the most important thing for nearly everything that is worthwhile in life and how my intelligence will be quantified or judged in school, workplace, and in the online community.

The shortcomings, I have as a writer is when writing essays my grammar and vocabulary aren’t that well, which makes it harder for me to write my essays. This makes the structure of my paragraph not good and makes some sentences not make any sense. Another weakness that I have in writing is that I don’t add enough evidence in my paragraphs for my essays. This makes the paragraphs lack content which doesn’t help me prove my point that I am trying to show in that essay. Some weaknesses I have with reading is that I lose focus to quick. A lot of long novels or stories don’t suit me because I can't concentrate or pay attention to the book for extended periods of time. When I am reading carelessly and can’t focus on the book, I don’t understand anything that the novel is saying. Also, another weakness that I have as a reader is that I am reading too fast sometimes and don’t understand what the book is saying.

I used to consider writing as tumble words from your mind, write, read it through, fix minor mistakes, and done. However, you rarely get successful. The truth is many students, including myself, struggle with starting to write a word, or getting stack in the middle without knowing the main point of the writing. After completing English 101, I can explain the writing process, evaluate the strengths of my essay, and identify my weaknesses.

Writing is a skill that takes time to develop. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is very important. Being aware of your strengths can help you stand out, and your weaknesses show you areas where improvement is needed. Like everybody I have weaknesses as well as strengths, and being conscious of them helped me improve my writing skills.

Throughout my years as a student, I think that I have become quite the effective writer. I am about to explain certain factors, known as assets and liabilities, that may determine whether or not I truly am this effective writer that I think I am. Ever since I first possessed the ability to put pen to paper, and produce rational thought as a result, I feel that I have been honing these writing assets in order to recreate myself into a prodigious writer. Though I think this, I feel that there is still quite a bit of room for improvement in my writing.

Writing is not just as simple as putting words down on a document or a piece of paper, it is a process. Within this intricate process are steps that involve more than just writing, such as critical thinking, planning, and editing. Using these steps has not only helped me when planning an essay but also when composing one. Throughout this course, I have managed to improve many skills and gain a lot of strengths, but I still possess some weaknesses. Overall, I believe my strengths have definitely outgrown these weaknesses and have led to a better, more high-quality writing process which leads to improved essays.
