Writing Is Not A Simple Process

When I started this class, I never thought I was a “good” writer. Ironically, after this class, I have learned how to be an organized writer and the term “good” is extremely unclear and subjective. From the short stories and questions to the individual essays, each assignment helped me practice and develop my writing skills. Overall, I think my writing has improved and the process of writing, something I often over looked, has immensely helped my writing.

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

One strength that I find as a writer is being able to back up my side of an argumentative or persuasive essay. I am confident in my ability to make my readers believe in my views of an issue and make these views their own; if not, I am able to sway the

Firstly, when it comes to my strengths in writing, I do not believe I carry many. Of the few I possess, my word selection is a constant advantage for me. I try not to settle for undereducated vocabulary. I see this as taking the easy way out and I do not believe I learn from this. Another one of my strengths when it comes to writing is my adequate spelling. Accurate spelling is strongly in my nature. When I am reading I can sense when a word is spelled incorrectly. My final strength in writing is organization. I believe my work is clear to follow. This is important so I can get my message across to my reader. Although I am solid in these aspects of my writing, they

Over the past four months, I have made great strides as a writer. The area where I have seen the most growth is in my use of the writing process. Prior to my enrollment in this course, I would sit down and write all my papers in one sitting. This class has taught me how to lay out a plan for my papers. I have learned how to effectively brainstorm/research, draft, and revise my writings before I complete them. Also I have learned to not just stop there, instead I am now going back and reflecting on my work after I complete it. This allows me to identify where I prospered and also where my downfalls may have been. With this information, I am able to apply this to future writings of mine; lessons that will stay with me forever.

I do not have very many strengths in English and writing. My strengths in English and writing are organization, sentence structure, and developing a position. I am good at organizing my papers and essays because, to me, if they are not organized in a sensible way the writing sounds choppy and incoherent. Sentence structure

I believe that one of my greatest strengths when I write is how well I can clearly comprehend a prompt, and answer it correctly and thoroughly. I take time to think about what I am going to write, and structure it well. Along with structuring my writing, my use of vocabulary

One strength I had in my essay was my use of significance. I usually struggle with significance in my essays but I felt I did a good job incorporating significance throughout my paper. One area I did a good job talking about significance was in

My greatest strengths in writing are my great decision making when it comes to choosing an interesting topic to talk about such as the compare and conrast bisexual vs

My writing strengths include grammar and mechanics and thought out introductions. In my writings, I proofread and edit and revise without fail before turning in an essay. Doing this results in the fixing of grammatical and mechanical errors.

Organization is one of my major strengths because when I right a paper I am meticulous with making sure that anything I right in a paragraph fits within the topic of that paragraph, and doesn’t go into several random and unnecessary points or details. Another writing strength of mine is Word Choice. I’ve always enjoyed enormous words that people wouldn’t normally consider using. I find growing my vocabulary to be a very enjoyable experience. This has the additional benefit of allowing me to have a variety of words to use from that can make a bigger impact on the reader in a persuasive essay, or create a better picture of a scene in a fictional writing or poem. Lastly, I am really good at Developing a Position. I really enjoy presenting a point of view, and have even been told that I should go into speech and debate (however I am far too nervous in public speaking to do that). My organization skill help me form my points and evidence in a format that is easy for the reader to digest and leaves more of an impact. Also my word choice allows me to use words creatively to help make my point or evidence more striking and

I think my writing strengths would be fast working once the ideas are down and the effort I put into my writing. Some improvements would be getting my ideas down faster and revising them quicker. Another would be getting my ideas

Although I have weaknesses, I also have strengths. One that I have found to be my biggest are my descriptions or “powerful lines.” A few others include creative writing, research, and writing conclusions.

My weaknesses are greater than my strengths, that’s why I tend to procrastinate my writing assignments. When i actually do my writing assignments I feel as if I could write for hours. I believe one of my strength is coming up with ideas to write about. I believe my life experiences help me get creative to write it down. Another strength of mine is being able to write my writing assignments on time. Some of

Before taking this course my writing styles and habits were very different. I was the typical procrastinator because I would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it. This did not allow me enough time to properly proofread everything, which resulted in getting points deducted for simple grammatical errors that could have been avoided if I would have had the time to proofread. My writing styles have many strengths and weaknesses and I have been able to improve my writing because of them. I have learned from my strengths and weaknesses how to become a better writer.
