Essay On Reality Writing Is Difficult

Improved Essays
In reality writing is probably one of the most difficult things to do, whether it’s an individual’s career or just free writing. It is very difficult for me to begin writing; I am a big procrastinator. I will avoid the assignment until the very day it is due and then rush to turn in what I can. When avoiding certain assignments, I’ll probably begin baking to take my mind off of the assignment and other work that is due. I’ll call my grandmother ask her how her day was, try to catch up with some relatives I haven’t talked to in a while or ask my dad if he needs help in the yard. When my inner conscious can’t take it anymore and abruptly tells me “Do your assignment!!!” That’s when I finally decide, hey maybe I should try working on homework. …show more content…
That’s when my sister begins to tell me that I have started rambling again talking about the same thing over and over again. I try to justify my reason for doing that by telling her that I want to make sure I get my point across.
When trying to conclude my writing I always seem to get nervous because I never know how to exactly end an essay. I could be up for hours trying to figure out the perfect ending and still not have a clue on how to end it. I use different strategies
A strategy that I use consist of three different ideas I start the three different paragraphs and then decide from there what paragraph I want to expand on. From there, I figure out in what the paragraphs so be in and if they need to be revised and once the assignment is completed, I have a couple people revise my essay and help me decide what is wrong and how it could be fixed. The best part of my writing process is when I am finally done.
Of course, my writing process isn’t perfect but it gets me through the assignment. I honestly cannot think of a moment that my process has failed me and I could not finish an assignment. The anxiety of writing gets to me but in the end, everything turns out alright because I finish my essay and I’m

    Whenever I have to write an essay, I do feel like pulling out my teeth or better yet just dropping out of school. I do relate to the essay “Shitty First Drafts” by Anna Lamott because I do struggle writing my first draft. I have always struggled writing any kind of papers. My first drafts are more than shitty. Sometimes in the middle of my first draft you will see a word or even a sentence that has nothing to do with the topic that is being discussed.…

    An idea that I found important in Stephen King's memoir "On Writing" is his statement "stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like all you're managing is to shovel shit from a sitting position." Personally, I found this statement inspiring. Often, I find myself creating excuses which keep me from writing. This is often because I believe a certain topic is hard to write about, or I am not particularly interested in my subject.…

    One of my biggest problems is procrastination. As I stated in my first paper, I start my writing process “with procrastination, something I do often that uses most of my time…I just can’t get myself to focus on writing that well” (“Is There a Right Way?”). It delays me from getting into my writing, which could probably be a lot better than it is right now if I could get myself to concentrate. Procrastination also doesn’t give me enough time to really think about the assignment, what it’s asking of me, what I think about it, and what I could talk about. Another change necessary to improve my writing, is that I need to better consider all the ideas in my first drafts so that I can try to expand and connect them, and to find the best ideas for what I’m trying to say.…

    One example about the writing process is that when working on your essay assignment you should work on it in phases. Working on your paper in phases means that you first plan out your paper by brainstorming the assignment and working on an outline for it. Then you write it out by creating a rough draft for the assignment and after you create the rough draft for your assignment, you or someone else will look over the rough draft to make sure the paper makes sense and putting corrections on it. Finally you complete the assignment by writing a final draft of your essay assignment with the corrections that are on the rough draft.…

    In regards to my writing process, there have been some central strategies that I have developed over time and some strategies that I have had for as long as I can remember. For example, one skill that I have developed from high school has been to annotate, mark up, and take notes throughout my readings. I found that taking notes really helps me, not only to remember what I read but to go back and be able to point out something in my reading easily. In addition, it helped me understand the readings better.…

    Adequate writing was always a struggle for me because I struggled with coming up with topics to write about. Even when teachers gave us prompts to write about I struggled writing about them mostly because I thought writing was boring. Another reason I was discouraged by writing was I would spend hours at a time trying to come up with ideas for a prompt and would barely come up with any ideas to write about. Being a civil engineering major I see why writing is so important in my career field. My experience with writing has had its good moments and its bad moments.…

    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. Due to all the reading I have done writing to me is almost as natural as talking. Also, I am quite good at knowing how to divide writing to make it less 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.…

    After reviewing my ideas and deciding exactly what the best approach would be to address the given prompt, I write a rough draft, then I start typing my final copy. As I am typing my final draft I revise sentences, correct spelling and grammar, and occasionally add or take away a sentence. Once my essay is completely written, I use the spelling and grammar check and fix mistakes that it may find. I then print my essay out and let a couple people read it and fix any mistakes they find. I ask them for suggestions on how to combine sentences and have a better variety of sentences.…

    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.…

    Attending public school from K-12 the teachers taught me the same type of writing for constructing an essay the traditional introduction, body paragraph, and conclusion. This works for education children in the school systems throughout Texas. The way the schools taught me to write has been beneficial to ensure I do well and wasn’t given a choice of options to choose from for writing. In high school I found a way that works best for me, but still fits the criteria the teachers want to see in the essay. In college I use the same style that I learned but how it works for me, when I was told there is other ways of writing without using the traditional way I was hesitant at first but now curious to know different styles to still be an effective…

    Some of the different strategies that I had used for each of the different essays is counterarguments, peer edits and reviews, knowing when my information is credible, and St. Martin’s Writing Guide. All of these things have strengthened my critical thinking during revisions and while writing my essays. The different tasks helped me look at new things to write about and how to present these different tasks properly, counterarguments helped me look at the topic I was supporting and find an argument against why my side was not the strongest, peer edits and reviews helped me revise essays strongly, and the St. Martin’s Writing Guide introduced new techniques of writing that were new to me and how to do it strongly. In my Proposing a Solution essay, I had used multiple different sources to prove one point in several different ways. The multiple sources came together to support my side of the topic.…

    When I sit and write it takes hours until the writing product is finished. Whether I am sending an email; which takes about an hour, to writing a major term paper; which would usually take about seven hours, the hardest and longest part is actually starting. We all have a spot in our home or at school where we like to sit and work. Its comfortable enough to sit for a few hours without physically straining yourself and where you can have all your notes organized in your own unique system. For myself, I like a wide desk where I can neatly place all my textbooks, notebooks, and papers I am using to write my paper.…
