Finding Myself As A Writer: My Analysis

Improved Essays
In most my life, I only find myself writing when I need to. Whether it 's answering some homework questions for history or writing an essay for english. Writing was never my favorite thing to do, only because I wasn 't good at it. Although, I hope that by the end of this class, it will change my perspective towards writing and effect me in an essential way that will help me in my future. The way I write is pretty simple, I just start writing, I don 't brainstorm,I just write as I go. Even though it would have been very helpful, I never really got into the habit of brainstorming or doing an outline ahead to gather ideas and put them together. As I mentioned writing not being my best skill, I would say I don 't have much strengths

    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 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.…

    Over the course of this semester I learned a handful of things about myself as a writer, that will help me develop as a more proficient writer over the course of my four years here. As a writer one of my strengths is backing up my argument with solid and concrete evidence that truly makes the reader believe what they are reading. Another area of my writing that I excel in is being able to process great ideas that follow the guidelines and the prompt. With that being said I have also seen that while the ideas may come with ease, I do have a challenging time with getting the ideas from my head onto paper in a manner that isn’t so disorganized that it makes the reader second guess themselves. Another shaky part of my writing comes much before the actual forming of sentences.…
