The Importance Of Personal Writings In Writing

Writing makes me feel free from my mind and put all my thoughts and feelings into it. It feels calm and soothing when you write. I remember when I was little we always had to write our stories in cursive which always helped me to remember things like my vocabulary. I want to improve on my grammars and my words in the future ahead of me, which will take me to the higher roads of writing. I can say what I want to say and express myself without the fear of being judged. Those who'd judge my writing have no right to read it. I write to perforate my emotion and escape the cruel. Writing is my art form, and I will do it whether it is appreciated by others or not. Writing is a therapy for me to keep us writers alive and communicate and share each

I learned a few interesting reasons regarding my overall feelings for writing. Up until now, I never examined why I disliked writing. Looking back at my past experiences with writing I now have a better understanding on what was holding me back. Self-confidence certainly played a large factor in my avoidance of writing. After writing the essay on my relationship with writing, I can use what I have learned from that exercise and apply it to my future writing adventures. I need to be more self-confident, and not worry about any judgments. I need to realize that I am able to express my thoughts through writing. This exercise gave me a very good perspective on my avoidance of writing and will help propel me to write more in the future.

My personal definition of writing: Everything, I experienced in my life, which triggers off my thoughts and feelings. It lets me desire to express the wonderful meaning through the words.

My feelings about writing are something a teacher does not want to here. Personally I do not like to write because I struggle at it just like reading. Another reason why I do not like writing is because it is very time consuming and I do not have the patience. Writing takes many steps and processes to have a good piece of work when I would rather skip them all too just a couple steps. When I am trying to writing I feel like I so many ideas and topics to write about, but when time comes to write. Boom nothing comes to me, and I sit there staring at my blank piece of paper stressing. Trying to focus is another reason that makes me dislike writing. Before I start the paper I am think I am going to sit down and get this paper done and over with,

The relationship that I have with writing is complicated and we don’t always get along. Although we tend to make up even when I get frustrated and want to quit. When being assigned a paper I struggle with what to write. My words seem to never come out the way I would like and I’m always having to start over and over again. It starts to get frustrating after a while. Needless to say writing isn’t one of my favorite things to do but it’s apart of our everyday lives like texting, sending emails, posting on Facebook, Twitter, and so on. I personally have only used texting as my main daily form of writing since I graduated high school. So therefore I would like to refresh my memory of what I learned in high school and widen my use of writing while in this writing course.

The only way you can become better at doing something is simply by continuing to work on your craft. Whether it is a hobby, an interest, or a profession, if you don't keep working, then you will remain complacent. A year ago, I thought writing was one of those things where I would just be complacent in. Not because I didn’t wanted to work harder at it, but because I thought of writing as one of those skills that came natural to you, or you did not have it at all. I always wanted my writing to improve but never knew how.

I have never been much of a writer, but I can’t say I completely hate it. For as long as I can remember, I was always one of the kids that would sigh when a teacher assigned an essay for the class. One reason for having a dislike towards writing was because it takes a lot of thought and time to even think of how to begin. However, as I grew older, I came to the conclusion that writing isn’t all that bad. I actually found writing quite interesting when I get the chance to write about something that I strongly care about. So writing to me is bittersweet, depending on if it’s something that interests me or not.

I fell in love with writing because it was my happy place. It was a place where I could never be judged for things that I wanted to say and how I wanted to say them. Times when I would be judged on my writing is when it’s a graded essay and those graded essays used to burn my pride and soul; I never failed them, but the teachers always had to point out my mistakes sometimes it would anger me. But, I concluded that being a writer is never easy and the only way to get better at it was to soak in as much information I could so, I wouldn’t make those same mistakes

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

I have always enjoyed writing, perhaps not as much as speaking, but enjoyed nonetheless. I began writing in primary school, and I distinctly remember deciding in grade five that I was going to write a novel. This is an idea that sends shivers down my spine now, as the idea of writing creatively is not one that I like, to say the least. From that point I slowly changed from someone who enjoyed the creativity of writing fiction to the angry and cynical non-fiction writer I am today. The reason why I made this change is quite clear to me, and although it only occurred rather recently, I can identify its origin in my childhood.

The hobby I am most proud of right now is writing. I am excited about writing because I can put my ideas down onto paper, and share them in many ways. My love for musicals has compelled me to write musicals myself. Being able to read and write music from playing the clarinet, has helped me compose the songs. The first musical I have written is titled ‘Toaster’. Toaster is about a person who in trying to fix their old toaster, ends up getting the newest toaster, then realizing he has made a big mistake. I am also working on another play called ‘Holiday’ which is about the ups and downs of each holidays throughout the year.

The idea of writing has always fascinated me. Being able to understand another person’s thoughts, through words on a piece of paper, is a curious concept. From twenty-six letters in an alphabet, feelings can be expressed, emotions can be evoked, and fantasies can be told. That is what I have always loved about writing. From an early age, I thrived in the euphoric feeling I got when I could translate the stories in my head into a tangible thing. I can even remember my debut as a writer way back when I was in kindergarten.

“‘Oww!,’ I said as I fell off my bike.” These are the first words of a personal essay that I wrote in the second grade about learning how to ride a bicycle. I remember them so clearly because my teacher boasted to the class about my use of such an eye-catching introductory remark, so it seems appropriate to use those words here as well. Not only do these words mark the beginning of a growing girl’s literary journey, but also the start to a timeline of establishing a tangible identity for myself that is further revealed within memories of trashy magazines, banned books, and most notably, my own writing.

I searched-looking left, right, and then back at my clock-repeatedly until I saw the rectangular piece of a paper held by an unfamiliar face that read “Mina Poppas”. I made eye contact with this unfamiliar person and approached cautiously. The unfamiliar face smiled slightly and asked if I was in fact, Mina Poppas. I replied with the nod of my head and quickly glanced downward avoiding further eye contact that would engage in more conversation. Despite my best efforts of minimal conversation with this unfamiliar face, he began to introduce himself as Mark. Mark mentioned that I had arrived early and the other kids were not there just yet. I had been sent to a four year boarding school extremely far from home by my parents due to

One would most likely assume that writing about yourself is a whole lot easier than writing about a particular topic or prompt. However, I haven’t found that to be true so far in English 1101. Up to this point, we have written three essays: the first being the Common App essay, the second being the Educational History Narrative, and the third being the Ad Analysis. By far, the Ad Analysis was the easiest paper for me to write because I was given specific guidelines for what needed to be included into my essay and I didn’t have to write a creative story about myself. It is a challenge for me to write about myself because in past school years, I have hardly ever had to do so. I have noticed that in school, the majority of my teachers have never stressed the importance of self knowingness and reflection; all they have done is prepared me and my peers for state testing. I could write a whole other essay based on this realization, but I won’t for this assignment. Along with the Ad Analysis being the easiest essay for me to write, I also think that it was my best work. I felt that the assignment was engineered more for my age group and so I was engaged with it a lot more than I was with the other essays. I also felt a lot more confident while writing it and as a result I had no problem with meeting the essay’s criteria and page requirement. My peer editor also found very few mistakes within the paper which reassured me that it is the best work that I have done for the
