What Good Writing Means To Me

If we are to establish that good writing is made up of basic control of the language that is being written, adherence to conventions of grammar and style, and the ability to present a cogent argument and reasonable support for that argument, I may qualify as a good writer. However, it must be recognized that there is a great deal of distance from simply being good at a subject or task and having developed mastery of the same. Thus, I would argue that while I am a good writer I have yet to cross the threshold of skill that qualifies me as a great writer. Greatness in writing exhibits a level of awareness and development of thought that is rare and hard to achieve. As a product of this class, I would like to find myself closer to that finely

While writing might seem like a simple task, it can be a daunting task for a lot of people. Sometimes it can be hard to express the ideas in your mind in the words of a paper. This results in a disconnect with what a writer may actually think. A great writer is one that can transform his thoughts into words perfectly. This is a craft that takes many years to perfect, which is why writing is troublesome for a lot of us. Many students also have had bad experiences with writing. Maybe they had a teacher that didn’t try to support them and their writing. They might not have ever gotten the help they needed and may feel that they are in a hole where their writing can’t get better. At this point, they just accept that their writing will never get better.

What is the Meaning of Writing? Writing is enjoyable, calm, dreadful, and ghastly. These are some example of what people say about writing. It’s how people express themselves. How we tell others our stories, adventures, and our heroes. It is how we communicate without talking. Authors write to show their feelings, experiences, or stories they want to share. Take others to their own world. In fact writing means different things to everyone.

Writing is a skill that many authors use to show their style or qualities. Writing is such a great experience and it allows you to tell stories, or speak your opinions. It gives you opportunities to speak up and show your worth. There is two important steps for writing, one is to always think positive, and two is always believe in what you have to say. Many people struggle with writing at times and that's because they haven't thought out their ideas all the way or showed their full potential yet. It takes time to become a good writer.

Throughout this course, I was able to assess and evaluate my weaknesses and strengths in writing. This class has truly brought out my ability to write, a skill I did not believe I had. I now know what it takes to become a college-level writer. Also, at the beginning of the course I did not particularly enjoy writing. Now, however, I have a greater respect for

This course was comprised of many learning activities; each was designed to help me achieve the course learning outcomes. I have taken two college English classes in the past; however, it has been several years since my last college class. I have some experience in writing and this class definitely helped me get back into writing. I often have trouble brainstorming and capturing the subject I need to write about. This class definitely helped me overcome the challenges I faced in writing and being able to effectively express my ideas in a clear and concise manner. Not to mention, it definitely helped build my writing foundation through a step by step approach to each assignment. Therefore, this class bolstered my writing and communication skills.

Throughout my time in english 110 I have written an analysis essay, a research paper, and an opinion editorial piece. Two of which I have never written before. At the beginning of the semester I thought a good writer was someone who used good word choice and who could use an effective writing theme for an essay. I was so utterly wrong, a good writer is someone who can evoke emotion, connect ideas and effectively relate to others. They use peers for feedback and always revise their work. A good writer is someone who believes that their work is never finished, it is more than just someone who can tie a few ideas back into their original thesis statement. As I grew as a writer in this class, I have come to the belief that I now posses a few of

There can be many interpretations of what good writing means to someone. In my eyes, it means to deliver a topic while using your own words. Being able to use the correct grammar and organization plays a significant role in this. Along with these abilities comes the little skills, such as punctuation and spelling. Although having someone tell you that your writing is good can be helpful, it’s not necessary to find out whether it actually is or not. You are able to identify that your writing is good if you are able to clearly read and comprehend what you have written.

This course has helped me to understand the difference between college and high school writing. When I was a high school student, I was very confident about my writing skills. However, since I’ve been attending Wilkes University, things have changed dramatically. The number of skills I need to understand in

In my opinion, I am a good student with the willingness to learn. I have many strengths as a writer like formatting papers and have solid body paragraphs. I also have a few weakness like the length of my body paragraphs and my word choices when writing my conclusion. I still I have many things to work on to make my writing better, but the only way to get better is to practice.

Writing well is one skill that many wish that they possessed, but they are limited by lack of grammar knowledge, sophisticated sentence structure, and original creative ideas. Even people who write as a living struggle to create a work that will be thought of as brilliant and memorable. What are the qualifications that make a work of writing good? Mother Tongue by Amy Tan, Why not a Football degree by William F. Shughart, and The 10,000 Hour Rule by Malcolm Gladwell are all examples of excellent prose.

I enrolled in this writing class about perspectives on friendship because I feel like their are many different opinions on friendship and it is a topic that I feel enough motivation to write about. There are also many philosophers and intellectuals who have written about the concept of friendship so I have many resources to strengthen my arguments in my essays. I’m a talkative and social person so I’ve had many different types of friendships I can reference. I’m a broadcast journalism major and I hope this class can allow me to analyze friendships or relationships between countries with another perspective.

College is almost all writing there is always that essay, journal response, or research paper to write. I think this class will help me tremendously in college as to how to construct a piece of great writing. There are many things I think I do well with when writing. For example, I like to use creative word choice and spice up my writings a bit. I also like to have my writings proofread by others which has benefited me in learning about some things I can use to my advantage to get better at. I do have a few weaknesses in writings as well. I have never been the best at punctuation and sometimes have a difficult time writing to prompts that I have to explain something. I think this course will be able to help me with my writing struggles and give me knowledge that will only help me in my future to come in

This for me was a very hard question to answer due to the fact that its an opinion, and there are very many types of writing. Different structures, ideas, metaphors, and concepts. You have to remember to ask, whether the writing in itself is good in my point of view or not, has to answer to my specific guidelines which in your case might not be the same. The first and foremost of the many guidelines is how the author set's up the introductory sentence or better yet, the hook. If the author for example, is writing a cook-book, his first sentence should be appealing to the sense of taste. For example, If you are writing on how to bake a chocolate cake, you can sound appealing by saying, it will almost feel like you added a hint of heaven

The most important thing that a piece “good” writing does is make people question where they stand on certain topics. This is the most important thing because when you question things you learn more, and when learn more you will be able to teach more. When you read something you do not want to just read it and not learn anything from it, then there would have been no purpose in reading it. Writers do not just write papers so they can tell the reader what is right or wrong. They write to explain their theory, to make others understand where they are coming from and the logic behind them.
