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,…

Wright Session 1 Journal INT-201A For many years I floundered as to what career I should pursue. The aspirations of becoming a marine biologist or an English teacher that I had held previously were no longer in line with my interests or desires. I wanted to write and work with books. 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…

Semester Test In the begin of the year I took this class because I want to improve my writing. I need them to improve, so I would be ready for college level writing. Now that the semester is coming to an end I am reflecting back on the progress made. The way I approach writing as changed greatly since the beginning of this class.

One of the things that makes me as a stronger and more develop writer, is what my passion lies on, which is Filmmaking. There are also many different ways that you can be stronger as a writer, but what is the point of doing something if you are not enjoying it. A quote from one of my favorite actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, “The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it”. Therefore, as a filmmaker, I always thought that writing is a really good practice…

The prewriting strategy that I like most is a combination of brainstorming and listening. It's a combination because I will record my ideas (brainstorming) about what I will write about. Then listing to my brainstorm in a form of a recording, it comes a combination strategy. I find this combination of both strategies to work well for me. Being that English is my second langue, when I brainstorming my ideas onto a paper I get stuck trying to spell a word and losing my train of thought. By…

As a writer you have the power of letting someone escape from the world and into the words you write at your fingertips. I personally don’t have as strong of a connection to writing as I do reading. Although, I did have the opportunity to possibly let someone…

The issue that I strongly feel that should be addressed is, “Should reality television be regulated?” This topic intrigued me because reality television affects other issues such as censorship and the corruption of today’s youth. There is many different arguments revolving over this issue which is why I feel that this topic will allow me sufficient evidence to write this research essay. The different perspectives about reality televisions is something that I believe that I can personally relate…
