Why Is Writing Important To Me

Improved Essays
When I think of good writing I often think of reading and, then picturing it in my head. For example, if I’m reading something I need description and lots of images going through my mind. It really helps me understand what I’m reading, making it more entertaining. Another thing I often enjoy in writing is when there is some humor throughout the paper, because who doesn’t love a good laugh? I always know when I have written well when I enjoy what I’m reading.
I am taking this class not only because I have to, but I do really enjoy writing. When you started off by saying this class was going to be a challenge and two of my peers walked out I didn’t know what to think. Later on throughout the day I thought to myself this will be good for me, I

In that case I procrastinate, and wait till the last possible minute to work on my paper of finish it. This is not because I do like writing, I love it, it's just hard to get the writing assignment how I want it. Procrastinating would by far be my biggest weakness. For example, it’s Monday night and here I am writing my paper that you gave to us on Friday. That may sound bad, but I’m being truthful. It’s so hard for me to concept the whole paper, and get it laid out how I want it. Another weakness I would say for me would be putting commas in the right position, because let's face it half the commas in this paper are probably wrong. It’s a learning process, am I right? Another weakness that I tend to have is using the right for of the word when they have different meanings. That weakness really gets me irritated, because I get so flustered when I don't get it right! To help with my weaknesses I often have my friends read through my papers, and have them give me tips. I feel this works the best, because it’s face to face. My biggest strength would have to be I enjoy writing. I feel this is a great thing to have, for example I can write about anything, and enjoy it. I just love the feeling of getting all of my emotions down, and out in the open. My favorite part about this is that I can express myself in ways you couldn’t by talking, and that's saying a

    Mike Bunn Argument Essay

    • 3 Pages

    After reading Mike Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer,” I revisited my directed self-placement essay while asking myself the many questions Bunn recommends to ask oneself when “reading like a writer.” In doing so, I was able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses I possess as a writer, and therefore know where I need to grow the most as a writer. One of my greatest strengths as a writer is knowing my audience and composing my writing accordingly. I am aware that when my audience is a teacher who will be reading and grading plenty of the same essays to include original ideas and arguments; it gets boring reading the same type of paper and ideas over and over. Along with my well thought out ideas and arguments, I also credit myself with the ability of using appropriate evidence from credible sources that support my claims.…

    However, the main point is colleges should produce writers who can actually use writing as a source for their future jobs and the questions is how can they do that? For example, I want to major in biology. Even though I major in biology, writing would be important to become more successful in my future career. One good way would be giving students an assignment where they require them to write papers on subjects of their choice that have something to do with biology.…

    I am not the kind of person that can whip out a paper the night before or create a masterpiece from nothing, but I can write an essay or story without it being too much work.

Some writers I have come to know write until they can't write anymore and that's when the stop, wearing themselves out in the process. When I write I pace myself knowing went to stop and when to pick it back up again.…

    During my high school career writing was not recognized as much as it is now and there wasn't a huge place of importance on it. In high school the only writing I was concerned with are essays. However, now in my college career I have to take other texts into consideration. For example, writing an email to my professor will take a lot more thought rather than writing an email to my high school English teacher. I believe this because pre college relationships with teachers are much more informal.…

    Good writing to me means that as soon as you start reading you get intrigued, and it makes you want to read more. In order for that to work though you have to have good grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You have to make your words stand out and flow all together for it all to become a great piece of writing. If you do not know if your writing is good or bad you can always ask for another set of eyes, but if that is not an option you can always run your writing through websites. I run my paper through a website called Paper Rater, but sometimes the internet will not always catch your mistakes, so another option is to take a break and go back to it later and read it again.…

    There are many different reasons why people write; to express their inner thoughts, to deliver a message, to tell a story, to live forever, or just simply for entertainment. The reason for why I write is to become what I’m not. I want to be able to experience the thoughts and feelings of what others might be going through. I want to know how someone living in the 1500s might feel and I want to know how life is on a fictional world. Maybe it’s because I want some excitement in my life, maybe it’s because I yearn to learn the stories of others, or maybe it’s because I want to escape from reality.…
