A Career In My Writing

Improved Essays
Writing really isn’t everyone's favorite subject or hobby. I have never really been good when it comes to writing papers, but that's a big part of different classes in school or even part of certain jobs. Writing is a everyday thing everyone does, some like it more than others. There are different processes people take in order to improve their writing. My writing process is a mess but it can be improved by focusing on organizing my writing. I want to feel comfortable while writing, it keeps me more focused. Mostly when I am at home writing I am in the living room on the couch with my pen and notebook in my lap, my laptop next to me, and a glass of sweet tea on the inn table. While I am writing it has to be quiet in order for me to focus. I get off track really easy when it is something I'm not interested in.

My writing is a big mess because it's hard for me to be able to put my writing into paragraphs while focusing on different things in each paragraph on the same subject. I get off track so easy, I could be talking about one thing then just randomly start talking about a whole other subject. It's like when my daughter throws her food everywhere in her high chair. There is food on all sides of her, all different types of food for me to clean up after her. That's how messy my writing is. There will be pieces everywhere when it comes to my writing, that i have to pick up and put back together or throw away. One day i'm confident my writing with improve without being one big ole

    I am not the kind of person that can whip out a paper the night before or create a masterpiece from nothing, but I can write an essay or story without it being too much work.

Some writers I have come to know write until they can't write anymore and that's when the stop, wearing themselves out in the process. When I write I pace myself knowing went to stop and when to pick it back up again.…

    I feel that writing is a good subject to be familiar and practicing in frequently, it is a necessary tool to communicate properly. Although, if I were to be truthful I’d have to say that I am not the biggest fan of it due to the fact that it bores me and I have trouble figuring out what to say. So I find it hard to enjoy writing because most of the time I am just struggling to concentrate because I don’t have much more to say about a topic. Recently, since I have not been in school for a while, I have found myself forgetting rules to the English language in my everyday speech so I find it to be useful. This has influenced how I feel about writing because the more I write, the more easily I can remember to use these rules in my daily…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
