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…

She goes on to say that collaborations are in and as for lone workers that are out. The second article…

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…

Everyone has an understanding of what it means to write an essay or just any type of text. Many people write in different ways for different reasons. Understanding the way you write makes taking on a writing project. As a writer, I understand what I need to do when approaching a writing project. When it comes to writing essays, I prefer to write about something I have a say in, in other words, something that I can relate to and be passionate about writing it. Brainstorming for a topic isn’t hard…

What expectations have been placed on your writing in the past? I was fortunate enough to go through high school with a group of great group of English professors, people who really cared about their students and wanted them to succeed. My main influence in high school was my Advanced Writing professor Mr. Gehrman, a man who was known to be very eccentric, and also had high expectations for myself and the rest of my class. I would like to say that I met his expectations the majority of the time,…

Sheba informed us on her life as a co-anchor for the Eyewitness Morning News and how she got to this point in her life. She was born and raised in Gentilly, Louisiana. She attended St. Mary’s Dominican High School and participated in musical theater. She explained that theater gave her the confidence to speak on TV. After high school, Sheba spent the first half of her college career studying…

Wright Session 1 Journal INT-201A For many years I floundered as to what career I should pursue.

One night I had the privilege of speaking with the owner of a local publishing company who was in need of an intern editor. That opportunity gave me a passion for helping authors achieve their dreams of publication…

When I read Anne Lamott’s experiences with first drafts and writing, I kept thinking about my own experience with art and design. While I have written many essays and drafts for school assignments, the idea of reworking something multiple times has never felt as complementary and fulfilling as Lamott writing career as my own artwork. For every piece of art I make, I have to start with concept designs and initial sketches. Each drawing, painting and design begins with simple shapes that help form…
