One Day My Writing Analysis

Decent Essays
I hope one day my writing will be proficient enough that I will no longer have these current struggles. Although, I do have to say that these writing conflicts have made me a stronger writer because I picked up new strategies along the way. I’m absolutely thankful that I got the chance to write about the subjects I wanted to; I no longer whined about how long the essay was supposed to be because I knew how enlivened the writing process was going to be. Overall, it was quite the writing experienced and it wasn't as horrid as I though it was going to be.

    Life is short. That is the simple and unforgiving fact that cannot be avoided. It can often pass by as quickly as it comes when noses are buried in our cell phones instead of observing and appreciating the changing of seasons or the orange-purple sunset that concludes each day. That one idea— to pay attention— is what drives Alice Steinbach 's philosophy on writing along with a collection of other tactics taught to her by her ninth grade creative writing teacher Miss Dennis, which is showcased in her essay "The Miss Dennis School of Writing". Steinbach creates a well-rounded philosophy consisting of many elements throughout the essay.…

    Upon reading chapter 5 from Holdstein’s “Who says? The Writer’s Research” I found myself faced with a number of ideas I had been unfamiliar with. After thoroughly examining this chapter, I realized that previously, I hadn’t properly evaluated resources, which is a mistake I made as someone who gathers research and analyzes various ideas in my writing. Throughout this chapter, I took notice that I, as a writer, have three main responsibilities: conducting a thorough search for sources using the proper key words, carefully and meticulously, yet efficiently analyzing sources, and determining the rationality of a source. While these ideas may present themselves as challenging, as I had been previously unfamiliar with them, if I acquire the proper…

    1. “Only this: if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer.” is a quote from the book “Zen in the Art of Writing”, located on page 4. I chose this particular quote because I could empathize with that claim as it happens to me quite often. It is not unusual for me to simply write because I am told to and feel no real connection to what I am writing, though when there is something I am actually excited to write about I feel much more enthralled in the whole process; I can tell my writing is better when this happens as well.…

    I think that paraphrasing will be the hardest for me to avoid while writing. It seems that sometimes it is hard to write or summarize something that is so well written already. The way I will work around that is to stop and re-read what I am wanting to summarize, take a few important words out of the material I am reviewing and jot those down, then go back and write what is needed to complete my sentence or idea. Once I have completed my writing, I will review and make sure I have properly cited my work. Using the guidelines discussed in our “Read Section”, and following the instructions listed on how to source correctly should avoid paraphrasing mistakes and plagiarism.…

    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.…

    One of the very first memories I had as a child was lying in bed at night and listening to my mom read stories to me. I would always have my pajamas lying in my bunk bed in my blue paint colored room. Every night before bed I would curl up next to her in bed and pick several books for her to read. As I got older, I would pick bigger, harder, and longer books to read.…

    Being able to write has always been one of my biggest challenges in school. In high school, I would always struggle with the length of my essays because I was always taught that five sentences were enough to complete one paragraph. Each of my paragraphs only had one transition, which I would regularly start with, and my sentences had minimal detail. That was until I started English 1A and began to learn very important concepts for a nicely written assignment. For example, I have learned that transitions help your essay flow smoothly when you are adding new ideas or changing to a different subject.…

    After and absent of almost two years, this is my first quarter in Berkeley, and is Online. When selecting classes I kind of look which one I would like to have, and this class was one of my first option -second to my statistics class because that one I could not change at all! English writing is not one of my best skills, so I do need to put a lot of attention when I’m writing something to someone. This class had helped me a lot, so much, that even when I know I still make a lot of mistakes, I’m sure they are less than I used to do when I first started this course.…
