Exploring and creating are two thing I love. When I was younger I had craziest ideas I felt like anything was possible, building or good puzzle could keep me occupied for hours. I’m still very much like that child I was back then. There many things I didn’t grow out of like my love of billing and designing. As children my dad read to us Books us a lot I always admired the people that thought differently about the ordinary, said the thing that seems outrages and proved them possible, offer a…

Every tap of the keyboard that meets my ears is a type of music that settles my soul. I’m not writing about a piece in particular, I’m writing about how the act of me writing has been such an amazing influence on my life. As a child with an alcoholic parent, I struggled to find a healthy outlet for my emotions. I’d tried running, drawing, painting, singing, playing an instrument, but to no avail, I could not find what could calm me. Finally one day my friend pointed me to a mediocre fanfiction…

Michael Flanigan’s thoughts on the writing process imply that writing is a tough and laborious act, that needs proper care and handling. There are very few shortcuts available when conveying what you want to express using the written word. Writing is the exact opposite of a Jackson Pollock painting, because you can’t just start out with raw emotion in order to make a good piece of writing, you have to follow critical planning procedures and outlining to convey your point to a reader. Coherence…

Reflection Before I started taking English Composition 101 I lacked the background of language arts for many years. The last English course I took that had a solid teacher was English II. At the beginning of the semester I had set myself a list of goals to achieve. I expected the goals to enhance my knowledge on how to write certain kinds of papers, as well as, proofread with proficiency. I learned several skills and techniques during this class to help improve my writing skills. I still need…

I believe my writing started off from a really strong base because my high school English teachers held rather high expectations like you do. However, after writing a few papers for you, I have noticed that I never really paid any attention to my works cited and just slapped on some citation that a website gave me. My writing was good, but I never bothered to learn why I did things, I just knew that things were supposed to be done that way. I haven’t learned everything, of course, but you have…

Cain supports her evidence by including real-time stories such as the one about Mr. Wozniak and how he got his idea about Apple computers, plus real facts from researchers such as the one previously talked about how most creative people are in fact introverts. While also talking about some of the most popular introverts such as Newton and Picasso. Cain emphasizes “it’s one thing to associate with a group in which each member works autonomously on his piece of the puzzle;…

In the past my writing experiences have been both rewarding and disappointing. Disappointing because I seem to get a type of "stage fright" regarding the content in which I am to write about and my fear of failure. When the subject of what I am writing about is difficult and hard to find a positive outlet for, i.e. I am having a hard time getting in touch with my subject, the process of writing a research paper or summaries or any kind of extensive assignment becomes laborious and then…

In regards to my writing process, there have been some central strategies that I have developed over time and some strategies that I have had for as long as I can remember. For example, one skill that I have developed from high school has been to annotate, mark up, and take notes throughout my readings. I found that taking notes really helps me, not only to remember what I read but to go back and be able to point out something in my reading easily. In addition, it helped me understand the…
