Reflection On Writing Habits

This paper is a reflection of my writing habits and how much I learned about them by taking a step back. Most of my habits are forced because of school which I thought was interesting. The only time I write because I want to is when it’s for communication and talking to the ones I care about. I have learned a great deal about what writing habits I have with the information recorded in the writing log. I tend to write in only certain places. I always use one of three different mediums to record my writings. Along with those I only use writing to communicate and study.

This I realized was a huge part of why I write in class. Another reason why I communicate is to make conversation with friends and family. I do this a lot because I enjoy talking to people. The question I kept asking myself is “why do I write?”. When I analyzed my data, I came to the conclusion that I need to write more.
My Self Reflection. The main topic conclusion from my reflection was I don’t write enough. This is a valuable conclusion because going forward knowing this weakness I can improve. I really don’t write an extensive amount unless I have to which pertains to homework and writing papers. I never write for pleasure because I do not enjoy it but, I know the only way to improve is with practice. By looking at my log I am in a habitual state of note taking in class. When I made the log never once have thought of myself as person who does the same routine every day. The proof is in my log; I am for sure in a routine.
