Decent Essays
As long as I can remember, I never really liked writing, I did not like the thought of just sitting down with a pen or a laptop in front me. Maybe because I was not good at it, after reading the pages of the graphic novel I have three points that could help me improve my writing.

And I do not spend much time thinking about the content and the quality of the paper, what I have to do on my next projects, including that paper is to simply clear my mind; Focusing on the paper itself is what I should do, not the time or the length.

    One of my biggest problems is procrastination. As I stated in my first paper, I start my writing process “with procrastination, something I do often that uses most of my time…I just can’t get myself to focus on writing that well” (“Is There a Right Way?”). It delays me from getting into my writing, which could probably be a lot better than it is right now if I could get myself to concentrate. Procrastination also doesn’t give me enough time to really think about the assignment, what it’s asking of me, what I think about it, and what I could talk about. Another change necessary to improve my writing, is that I need to better consider all the ideas in my first drafts so that I can try to expand and connect them, and to find the best ideas for what I’m trying to say.…

It is utterly frustrating, and difficult to get rid of.…

    Over the Semester my writing has improved immensely in comparison to my previous years of literature. Before ninth grade, I would use an abounding amount of simple words like “very” or “because”. In ninth grade on the other hand I have started to and continue to use words and phrases like “exceedingly” and “due to the fact.” This presents improvement in my writing because using words like exceedingly is evidence that the writer is a higher level writer due to the fact that it is a complex word. Another example of advancement in my writing is the amount of transitions I put in my writing.…
