Personal Narrative: What Makes Me To Be A Great Writer

Decent Essays
The thing that surprised me about the course is how fast the time has passed by. I really cannot believe everything that I accomplished over the past five weeks, not only in my school work, but also in my personal life. I also cannot believe all the detail that really goes into writing and the rules that you must apply to be a great writer. I never realized how writers utilize the rules to write so effectively. Great writers also make reading effortlessly and that is what I aspire to do with my writing one

    The first time, I enrolled in this class, I felt excited knowing this class would help on my grammar, so I can become a better writer.

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    My writing process usually involves me prewriting, planning, drafting and then editing. I often try to revise the paper while I’m writing it, which often seems to create more problems as I stop my thought process on what I was writing and focus on something else. While this has slowed me down, it has never stopped me from finishing something. I have always had an easy time writing in an environment where I don’t have any tight restrictions and can write freely about ideas for characters, stories, and worlds. I usually have trouble coming up with the right words when I’m required to write about very specific topics or ideas.…

    I didn’t know what I was in for after that day. A writer’s key experiences is what makes them different from other writers and is crucial to their growth as a writer. The writing I composed in Mrs. Heningburg’s class was central to my development as a writer because it made me more confident in my writing and made me more aware of others reading my work as a writer. After hearing my last writing assignment's result in the class, I started expecting a high scoring on my writing works. The compliment about my essay from my sixth-grade teacher changed me, so let's start from the beginning.…

    I learned that all the prewriting is not the same there are different formats of writing. I haven't learned which essay writing best fits me. I believe that the one that fits me the most is the free writing because I can just write down anything and continue without stopping. I can write to whatever comes to mind and even though it doesn't make any sense I still write it down I feel that most of my best writing comes from free style writing. I can only do my best when I feel that I am able to more work under pressure and that I can relieve a lot of my stress by writing.…

    Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…

    By looking back at my writing experiences, I can tell that writing does not come naturally to me and find it to be a real challenge. I may think I did well while writing but in reality I did horrible. It takes me a while to write a paper then other people and there tends to be plenty of problems that try to slow me down. One of the hardest problems I have while writing is trying to find the right words to say. Every time I write I always take longer than anyone else because I always second guess what I just wrote and have to rewrite what I am trying to say.…

    Unit one was interesting for me since I had never known about many of the skills we learned about before. Learning how to read like a writer was especially frustrating for me. I usually never care about the way an essay is written; I mostly only pay attention to the message. As we were learning how to read like writers, I found myself getting thinking that the whole concept seemed pedantic. I thought if a writer has written an essay, shouldn't we spend time dissecting that message and debating it instead of worrying about word choice and transitions?…

    Coming into college I faced many challenges as a writer. Being that I was enrolled in a high school that did not care much about my academic performance, I was already led to a disadvantage and predicted not to do so well. I have missed out on an immense amount of useful tools that would have been essential to my writing process. Not knowing how to properly provide information so that I can build my essay filled with academic language led me to optimizing and remaining resilient. In my past writing assignments, it seemed to be that we were learning everything step by step, whereas in college more is expected from me as a writer on my own.…
