I am concerned about my challenge that I face as a writer for several years I hope that this course can help me overcome this obstacle to become the writer I always want to become.

I have read books, used goggle and other websites anything that is informative which can give me openness to new ideas which can help me gather information to become a better writer.

    I’m the kind of writer who likes to take their time to plan out what to write before I put it together. Once I have my thoughts down on paper I piece them together. I like to read over my writing a few times just to make sure nothing was forgotten, misspelled, or added incorrectly. Honestly, when it comes to writing, I’m kind of a perfectionist just like I happen to be with everything else (photography, baking, any arts and crafts and so much more).…

    At the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as a creative writer. After attending this class I realized that there is a lot more that goes into writing an essay, or a research paper, than just creativity alone. I have learned that it is very important to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…

    I understand the importance of proof reading, researching, editing and composing my writing to create a higher quality than before I commenced this course. Effective writing is being aware of the value of taking an audience into consideration, as a writer I have learnt the importance of staying on target with your chosen audience. I found once I became personally motivated to write and pushed all doubts aside the words began to flow onto the paper. “Whatever the teaching, the writers are on their own, drawing on their experience of life, of language and of story to make meaning. Writing their story is an act of self-expression and self-validation.…

    I began this course with an open mind, a bit of anxiety, and a clean sheet of paper. I was unsure of what I would learn or what my writing style would develop into. While I was excited to write, I was unsure of the formalities of the English language and the structure of academic writing. Eight weeks later, I have filled multiple pages of paper with ideas, words, and sentences. More importantly, I spent multiple hours dissecting, editing, and re-writing those ideas, words, and sentences in an organized and mature manner.…

    When I began to prepare for this class I did not know what to expect. Originally, I thought that there would be a lot of reading with critical thinking questions to go along with it. This is probably because my high school English classes were structured in a similar way. However, because of this course, and the reading material that went along with it, I have made many improvements to my writing. There are three main improvements that stand out.…
