The Benefits Of My Writing

Reading this article made me feel better about my writing. I know that when I first wrote out

As a young child I always prided myself in my writing. I attended the Young Authors Conference every year during elementary school. The Young Authors Conference allowed us to write and share books that

I was in high school the first time I had to write a narrative. I was a freshman. This was Ms. Bradley’s first time teaching at Union Christian Academy. On her first day, she gave us our syllabus and said, “I do not accept late work, especially on writing assignments.” We, literally, sat there stunned. My freshman class had it very easy during eighth grade year. We were not expecting this. As I looked through the syllabus, I saw that our first assignment was due in a week and it was a narrative. At this time, I did not even know what a narrative was. Ms. Bradley explained that a narrative was an account or story of events. It could be either true or false. Our narrative had to be true. It had to be a true account of something that happened to us over the summer. She wanted to gauge how are writing skills were. Our narrative had to be at least two to two and a half pages long. I chose to write my first ever narrative on my trip to Fort Worth, Texas. Once again, I was plagued with writer’s block. I had the story in my head, but everything I

good afternoon, when it comes to writing I belive there are certain areas I could improve in order to become a stronger writer for myself as well as those who will be reading my writing. In my future career writing will be an important asset in the work field because you must write everything in detail in order for others to understand. In criminal justice case work and reports will entail writing, in the future I hope to become a strong enough writer so that I can succeed in the work

However, most of the time I will despise writing and try to avoid it as much as possible. The reason I do not like writing is, because I frequently have so much to say and I cannot grasp a way to organize everything. When I write for enjoyment I will mainly write about the thoughts in my head and nonchalantly caring if it makes sense or not. It’s like the difference between a doodle and a drawing. A doodle is just a “whatever” picture. It is just randomly drawn and it won’t matter if the lines are straight or not. In a drawing everything has to be perfect and neat. I enjoy to “doodle” write and just write my thoughts out about anything, I am afraid to publicly say. I’ve been taught to write by having teachers just tell me what they want me to write. The part about me learning to write I kind of have taught myself using some of the knowledge that previous teachers have given me. Not only, but I also, face several challenges as a writer like the lack of creativity and writing descriptively. When I write, I like to just state my point or main idea, but I struggle with describing it in depth and explaining my main idea as specific as possible. Some writers make a drama and explain everything so clearly and their emotions, however I am not that type of

Once all those story assignments were over, I started writing again. I mean, really writing. I wasn’t writing exclusively for class assignments, or quick blurts of things when I got bored, I would sit down often, daily almost, and write a story, or journal, or anything at all that I wished. It was really enjoyable

I have been and will always be a writer. My mom has told me stories of how in first grade, I would sit in my room for hours writing and illustrating “The Many Adventures of Spider-Boy,” my first comic series. Encouraged by my parents, teachers, and friends, I continued to write and draw in my free time. However, as I got older and my writing matured, it became more difficult to write. Writing was no longer just a fun hobby, it became the way to realize my stories. When I’d sit down to write the beginning of a new story, I would have a few sentences down and then think it doesn’t sound right, so I’d go back and rewrite the beginning. Over and over again, I’d keep coming back to the beginning never feeling entirely satisfied with

When beginning any writing assignment, it can be a rocky start. It involves critical thinking and applying to your writing. First, you have to be skilled and be prepared in writing to get where you want to be. Therefore, my writing was complicated until I got into writing better than before. There comes a time when you have to start from scratch and work until you earn what you deserved. It was complicated to figure out what to write about, and to be precise. At first, I had adequate writing skills, but as I progressed through middle and high school, I have made vast improvements in my writing.

Learning to be a good writer has been a journey to me. There are a lot of moments where I struggled a lot with writing. My English writing journey starts four years ago when I come to the United States of America for the first time with only knowing accountable words in English. I often spend countless hours thinking of what I should write, following the correct style of writing, using appropriate vocabulary, and understandable and correct grammar sentences. With a lot of practice and guidance starting from high school to now in my second year in college, I was able to improve my writing skills and become a better English writer as possible as I can. However, that was not an easy journey it takes me a lot of exploring in writing essays, motivating myself to write well, practicing a lot in all writing aspect, and finally learning from each feedback I get on my writing.

After going reading through my final essays and reflection letters, it's surprising how quickly I have deleveled and improved as a writer. Before started this class, I knew, as a writer, where my weaknesses lied: word choice, transitional phases, brainstorming, and finally putting my thoughts into writing. My goal was to work on them and improve, and I was successful. The process all began once I started using the “verb tense” strategy in my Unit One Essay. With this strategy, I was able to not only use better word choice but also strengthen the entire sentence. (Killed two birds with one stone.) Personally, I believe a lot of strategies for improvement came from Unit One. It was in this Unit that I realized how hard it is for me to organize

There are many ways to write a story, but only one way for each individual. Ever since I started school, English was my hardest subject. Math, art, and language class came easy to me, while I struggled in English. I have many weaknesses as a writer and not many strengths. However, the way I approach the writing task may have something to do with the fact that writing is not one of my strongest points.

Micheal, I agree with you on being able to tell a story. I learned in my first English class with Mrs. Burlenson, that writing is like painting picture where your reader can imagine what you are trying to say. Since that class I always try to paint that picture where the reader can read it and be able to visualize what was

Writing is considered to be a meaningful way to portray thoughts in my opinion; writing is ultimately very valuable to me, and I love writing about things regarding my life in different locations. I consider myself to enjoy writing in most circumstances; therefore, I often write to clear my mind, sort things out that are consumed in my life, and enjoy writing for school purposes on particular occasions. Furthermore, writing can be a clever technique to pursue in order to sort out things that pertain in my life. I have reasons to believe writing certain emotions or events that dwell in my mind on paper can be a method of organizing my thoughts in a healthy manner. Consequently, I have noticed that I tend to enjoy writing pieces that incorporate

“Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released.” -Natalie Goldberg. As a writer, that’s one of the most relatable quotes I’ve come across. I tell my stories through someone else. My hopes, fears, past, and unrealistic dreams. I adore writing from past experiences and adventures I wish were real. I use to bottle things up. Then I discovered writing as a solution to express what’s rushing through my mind. Being bold with each word I peak onto the page. Writing has even guided me to becoming more outspoken. However I used to be even more timid than I am today.

After having stopped writing for nearly three years, I sat alone one day, finding myself writing on my notes little dairy entries. I was writing in light of the fact that my words give me solace and stay with me, enabling me to understand all that is occurring around me and what I feel during a certain occurrence. When I write, I feel great inside, as I accomplished something proficient, like something strong that connections me to my own deep sense of being. It was until then I realised that writing was more than a single moment for me, but more like a desire. A desire which I wanted to grow further to be able to share my thoughts freely. Though I don’t see myself having a writing life now or anytime in the future, I see it more as a therapeutic diversion, and in doing so writing has connected me to a superior attitude, happiness and anxiety restricted routine. I write when I am angry, sad, happy or stressed. I feel like writing a piece will express my mood during that certain moment. I don’t write as frequently as I
