My Reflection And Potength And Strengths As A Writer

Improved Essays
As you embark on this journey of reading my works, I want you to feel free to reflect and ponder on every argument that is being made because in a way they all reflect who I am or who I would like to grow into as writer. I want you to feel the passion I had while writing, but also the growth because that is what is most important. Generally, I have learned that there is power in words and simplicity is key. Many of my works needed to be revised to state main points in fewer words. After reading other peoples’ works this became more and more clear. This goes hand and hand with my strengths and weaknesses as a writer because being concise and using unnecessary words are a weakness but my ability to use detail and description efficiently is one of my strengths.

In addition, another strength that I have is that I am always trying to find ways to come up with deep analysis for certain pieces of evidence.…

One thing that remained consistent in my writing process, no matter the type of paper, is after I wrote the paper I would try to find more grade level appropriate words instead of the simple words I originally used. While writing essays for this class I came to find it is better to combine my writing processes to write the best possible essay I could.

Let your writing take you on an emotional journey, and let your emotions lead your writing into a new journey. As a writer you need to expand your vocabulary and use powerful descriptive words to really create a mental image for your readers. I have learnt to understand the importance of sentence structure, drafting, and proof reading and not over using commas creating sentences that are too long.…
