Personal Reflection On Myself As A Writer

Writing
There are many different methods and mechanics of writing, and frankly, I 'm not an expert of these skills. I have the ability to write, however, I lack the ability to write clearly. My thoughts on a normal writing assignment; more specifically and argumentative essay just flourish out of my head, like a hose that that can never be turned of. The clarity of my writing reflects both the organization of my writing as well as how I comprehend and receive ideas. The way I will will increase my writings clarity, is by thinking about the subject first and then go on to making an outline. The outline will help me spread my ideas out in front of me, as if it were proof read beforehand. With this method of practice I will be able to look back on my main ideas and check whether I have reached the correct objective of every subject from every line, from every paragraph.

While I’m am often asked whether I want to be a doctor or an engineer, I often first think what college do I wish to attend. The first step in this endeavor is to read more about different fields. I then will direct these fields by what interests me the most. Though, I may not have enough time to choose my major, I still have the time I have before I go to college. Once I have looked at a vast amount of fields

I need to stop looking at myself as someone else would, and look as if I would more. I need to stop being someone else I’m not, and be myself and praise myself or be proud of myself for being that person. I can praise myself more, by wearing a different sweatshirt or eating what I want and how much of that I want instead of feeling ashamed to do so. I will go to a clothing store, and pick what I like, not what others like to feel comfortable wearing the things I like to wear. Consequently, I will wear them to school and feel proud of myself to be open and more importantly be

    As an inexperienced writer, I often find myself looking at a blank page on my computer and wondering what my point is and how I will be able to express it. Sometimes it’s hard to explain your thoughts to others if they are not clear in your mind either. Therefore, I know that I can’t sit and write if I don’t have an outline, a map in which my thoughts follow a logical path. By using an outline, I can organize my ideas and make sure that the good ones don’t suddenly disappear in the abyss of my…

    The outline acts as the map for the paper and will show the writer where to go. He believes that when writing, it is always better to prepare than rather than produce. Taking the time to make an outline and prepare what is going to be said in the paper, rather than just going and writing it without any plan, will pay off according to Hjortshoj. I agree with a difference with Hjortshoj views on making outlines because when making an outline, time has to be put into it to make sure that is it an affective outline. If…

    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.…

    Knowing I had to aim for a different audience this time around really affected my writing. When my tone for the original paper was rather informal and even somewhat fun, now I had to write for the APA, a group of people who take this line of work very seriously (as they should). Due to this, I gave my arguments a more serious tone, and I even expanded my vocabulary a bit to give a good impression. If I want the APA to listen to me, I should write in a tone they would use. I was careful about the sources I used for this.…

    Project 2 Toni Morrison, bell hooks, and James Baldwin are all writers, professionals crafting fully realized people living in black and white, and poetically weave humor and personal tragedy into their essays about injustice. In the past, I always avoided calling myself a writer because I simply could not compare with them or their contemporaries. Throughout the years, I realized that forbidding myself from using that title was not a humble act, but instead, limiting myself from strengthening my writing through making excuses. Writing did not come naturally to me. I could do the bare minimum.…

    Throughout my academic career, I have taken and been successful in a large number of English classes. In high school, my writing followed an academic format, mostly writing towards a prompt. Although I was able to gain writing practice, I never received a large amount of feedback that I could use to help myself in the future. Similarly, when I started college I practiced different forms of academic writing, structured around a prompt and focused on the end goal of a good grade. However, in college I was able to start gaining useful feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of my writing that I could apply to later assignments.…

    Throughout the course of the semester, my ability as a writer has increased at a slight level. The semester began on a rough patch with my initial submission of assignment one, but that was quickly resolved in my revisions. Since that point, my grades have been relatively similar. I would accredit this improvement to the feedback I received on the first assignment, although some of my faults could be seen in the next assignment as well. Since that point, however, my writing has been relatively consistent.…

    Critical reflection Reflecting back on what I have learnt about myself as a writer is that it is okay to be aware of your weaknesses and using the necessary tools to support and strengthen them. As a writer it is good to step outside of your comfort zone and experiment with new genres. Let your writing take you on an emotional journey, and let your emotions lead your writing into a new journey. As a writer you need to expand your vocabulary and use powerful descriptive words to really create a mental image for your readers. I have learnt to understand the importance of sentence structure, drafting, and proof reading and not over using commas creating sentences that are too long.…

    At the beginning of this English course, I was so nervous and scared that I would fail. I do not think I have ever been a good writer. It has always terrified me because I have difficulty putting my thoughts down on paper. This course has proven to be highly inspiring to me as well as frightening. It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts.…
