Writing has never been something that has always come easy to me. I consistently find myself taking longer than usual to complete a writing assignment. Although, I consider myself to be a great writer, I tend to get bogged down on guidelines and parameters of assignments. Therefore, preventing me from fully expressing and conveying my thoughts and opinions. Despite the fact that I have succeeded in previous writing courses, this course poses new challenges for me.
