Reflective Essay: Who Am I Am As A Writer?

Decent Essays
Writing never really comes onto the paper like how it comes to my mind, I wish I was able to put my thoughts onto the paper exactly how I see them in my head. Sometimes I do a really good job in expressing my thoughts, but at other times it just seems like a bunch of random rambling going on. That 's exactly how I am in person when I talk so I guess my writing matches my personality perfectly. Although I don 't consider myself a writer I do enjoy writing. *********************************************************
The first free writing I did in class, I actually enjoyed it a lot. I thought it would be difficult because I wasn 't really sure what I would write about. It turns out it was fairly easy, I had so much to write about, I ended up wishing I had more time. I found out it wasn 't as easy to free write publicly as to privately. My free write introduction on my blog was focusing more on what I wanted the reader to know about me as to my private one I just wrote what came to my head and I

I got used to it and now I feel like my best kind of writing is done at that time. It felt like it was the best time because it was when my day was over I could have something to write about. Such as what I did earlier that day, what my thoughts and feelings were, or the places my mind ran off to. Also because i 'm always such a busy person it was the time of the day when everyone was off to bed and no one interrupted me. The only problem now is that since I got so used to this habit I tend to write essays or most of my school work at night therefore it feels like I do everything at last minute or don 't finish on time, but if I don 't write at night there is too much that happens throughout the day and it feels like I get distracted every 5 seconds or someone needs me. I forget what I was writing about and end up sitting on my bed with 3 sentences that I got done all

    When I write I feel liberated, expressive, creative, and most of all I feel like myself when I write. I love being assigned an essay, or written response because it gives me the opportunity to portray my personality and ora through my words. In my 3 years at high school so far my easiest assignments have always been written; it just comes natural to me. Words can be as sharp as a knife, or as dull as a feather and I live for them.…

    I wrote one “source-based argumentative essay” in high school: my final essay from sophomore English. The guidelines were to write a four to eight page paper on any topic of your choice, but the thesis of the paper had to come across clearly. At the time, my personal goals were to write about something no one else would, as well as get an A in the class. As a future collegiate writer, I feel as though I have the habits and potential strengths to be successful, but my biggest weakness is that I do not know how to write a professional essay and I am a reluctant editor.…

    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.…

    Project #1: Literacy Narrative I remember walking across the lawn from our tiny add on classroom, up the stairs, and into the second grade class. Walking to my assigned desk directly in front of the window, I sat down in front of my best friend. Sometimes, sleepy and tired, I stared at the giant oak tree in our school yard and watching the clouds move. My first experience with writing was in fourth grade.…

    The most crucial step of my writing processes is letting my mind go wild and my fingers move freely. Whenever I write anything, I always let myself write whatever is on my mind at that exact second. Even if it doesn’t make 100% sense or isn’t exactly on topic, I’ll type it out. When I was writing my essay, I didn’t stop to fix anything until the very end. When I finished writing, I looked for mistakes.…

    I have always believed that teachers shape the people we become. They influence us just as much as our family. I have been fortunate enough to meet four extraordinary teachers along my educational path. They taught me not only how to improve my writing, but life lessons that made me the thinker and writer I am today. Mrs. Ceci was the first teacher who brought me out of my shell.…

    My writing was influenced by the time I had spent in school. To begin with, English was one of my weakest subjects in school. Every essay, paragraph or test I took ended up in a failing or a barely passing grade. Free writing was really bad for me because I would never know what to write about. It would be easy for most people…
