Writing As A Good Writer

Upon entering Columbia College, writing was one of my weaker areas. It was very important that I gained the necessary knowledge and confidence to become a better writer. I didn’t know how to express myself and felt as though my writing was not my interest. As a result of taking English 101, I have gained a better understanding on how to properly research and build a satisfactory paper. Every paper that was assigned seemed like a struggle to complete. Before entering this class, I did not know the meaning of a thesis or why it was important, however, I obtained this skill quickly. I noticed that every paper has an argument and the thesis helps clarify the rebuttal. Now, I have a new outlook on writing. It’s a way to express my thoughts and allow others to see things through my eyes. There is no doubt that I still have a long way to go, but I know if I continue to write, I will get better. Just as I developed more skills in class, the various papers assigned helped to better structure the writer in me. In addition, the subject areas were not only interesting, but very informative and made it much easier to write about my experiences.

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.

What is writing, you may ask? Writing is putting your thoughts into words and putting it on something that people can see. Writing is one of the most important things to a social species, like humans. Writing can be used to save information over the ages for a future generation, spread information to many people, or to make something to entertain others.

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.

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.

Writing throughout time has been one of the most essential ways of learning. To be good in many professions you must be able to articulate yourself in some form of writing. In class I had tools brought to my attention that would help me become a more effective writer. A few of those tools where the ten core concepts, conducting an interview and learning to write a research paper. All of which that I learned in class this semester has helped me become a more articulated writer.

The main thing that I feel that I need to improve on as a writer is being able convey my thoughts properly when putting the down on paper. This to me seems to be one of the most important things when it comes to writing. I feel that the reader must know exactly what it is I am thinking or what the point is that I am trying to get across to them when I write something. If they are not picking up on what it is I am trying to convey to them, then I think that I am, in a sense, failing as a writer. On the other hand, when someone can pick up on exactly what it is I am trying to tell them in a piece of my work, then I feel that I have succeeded in my assignment or whatever the task at hand is at that time. In my honest opinion, making sure the reader

I remember in sixth grade discussing the question, “Why do we write?” My teacher, Mr. Goforth, started off that class by defining what exactly is writing which is the activity or skill of marking coherent words on paper or any other appropriate media. But, writing goes deeper than that. Writing works to entertain, to inform, to communicate, and in many other various ways. Also, writing exemplifies the extreme diversity of human beings all over the world.

We all have different outlooks on writing and the way if affects us. As an incoming college student I have many different views when it comes to writing. A couple of things I have learned as a writer; all writers have their own strengths and weaknesses, writing is a learning process, and writing can allow a person to speak freely on a subject.

Being an awesome writer is always a number one goal for me. In the beginning my writing was all over the place and not structured. Most of my inspiration was taken from unstructured climax after climax leading into long downtime stories. My writing reflected that of one who knew the focus but got into details too much leading to a whole story based on the details not the main topic. Eventually i learned strategies that made my writing grow a seed into roots.

Effective writing is essential to having a successful college career. Creating clear communication, efficiently completing assignments and applying what you have learned to your future jobs will help you succeed. Without effective writing, you will struggle along to succeed.

Writing is an amazing way to communicate, express ideas, and convince others of how the writer is feeling. For some, writing might be a requirement, fun, relaxing, a chore. Whatever it may be, writing is influential, for the writer and the reader.

Throughout my thirteen years in school, I have considered myself a decent writer. This idea came from me always getting good grades without ever having to put in much effort. In order for me to become what I consider a “good” writer, I need to learn how to show why I am right and cause others to agree with the points I make or cause others to contemplate what was written. Good writing allows readers to understand what is going through the writer’s head. Through hard work and learning how to strengthen my weaknesses, I can become what I consider a “good” writer.

Writing is an important requirement in your everyday life. I am a college student who is taking a few English classes as my requirements and I think it is important to know the basics in writing a research paper or a letter. There are jobs that require that you know the standards of writing. It is a source of communication. Believe it or not, writing can be draining but once I started I actually enjoyed it. I am always trying to improve my writing and become better in my grammar and getting my point across. I still struggle sometimes especially when it comes to analyzing.

Learning to be an adequate writer is something I strive for but don’t feel I have yet accomplished. In the past, I can remember spending countless hours sitting and thinking what I should write about. I think my biggest problem is figuring out how to actually put on paper what I am thinking. I am also concerned that the paper I write will not fully express what I am actually trying to say. I have found that if I am in a situation where I have to think of something on the spot or I am timed, I feel very overwhelmed and freeze up. However, I feel one of my strengths would be that I feel fairly comfortable with the rules of grammar and I enjoy that part of English. I can remember in high school I always did really well on my grammar test
