The Pickwick Papers

Often times when I am writing I will write quickly without revision resulting in a messy paper. Most of my papers resemble brainstorming lists combined with freewriting worked into loose paragraphs. Procrastination contributes considerably to this problem, because I usually will only have a short amount of time once I actually start writing and I’m worried…

The fear of writing can have a positive or adverse effect on anyone. I have my own mindset about writing, Fear. I strongly dislike writing and I would prefer to not sit through the writing process. The Fear occurs when I start pen to paper and then lightens up as I get going. When I wright I have an internal psychological fear that it will not meet my expectations, but I do not stop and think about who I am trying to make My writing work for. When it comes to writing I think what I can do to…

I chose the final paper as the most important aspect of this project (20 points) because it is the final product and with all the work that has gone into prewriting it (all the individual events), and the peer and teacher conferences, it should be extremely well written with a lot of thought put into it. Within this final paper, I chose that having three fictional and three non-fictional pieces is also key (10 points) because…

According to The Norton Field Guide to Writing, “Everyone likes a good story” (Bullock, Goggin and Weinberg 393), and this holds true to me. For all of my life, I have always had a love for reading and writing. When I was young, my mom would read me bedtime stories. Sometimes I would take my older sister’s books that did not have any pictures and pretend to read them, coming up with my own fantastical plots and imagining that was the story written in the book. I would also pretend to write my…

My Literacy Adventure When I came into this class I had no idea what to expect. Was it going to be an easy class I would not have to worry about? Or would it test my writing abilities to a whole other level? I soon found out that I not prepared for what was to come. For the first time I felt as though I was on my own when it came to writing. In high school I did not take any advanced English or writing classes and I had the same English teacher for three years. My teacher was very straight…

to be aware of yourself as an individual to improve in any area. Based on my experiences so far in college, I realized many of my strengths and weaknesses in my area of writing for psychology and/ or writing papers in general. Ever since high school, I have always had the fear to write papers. I always knew college would be a lot of work, but I actually did not know how much work. Every class this semester,…

This is a bad thing because not one paper was unique or stood out more than another.I personally think that a lot of college students tend to write what they think their professor wants to read, and not what they truly want to write themselves. There is no emotion attached to what they are…

Following the Tracks: My Journey from Thought to Paper “I pulled out box after box, setting them haphazardly around the room. My organization lacked something -- like, say, organization ...” – Richelle Mead If anyone were to walk into my room, on the fourth floor of Creswell or back on my home street of Rosebrook Crossing in Atlanta, they would find a large, dirty, and unorganized mess. My room has been this way since I was old enough to have control over the domain of my room, and despite many…

most of most mornings as I would sit watching the art of oration between two well prepared candidates. Unlike sports debate, writing papers was not one of my hobbies. In fact my mindset towards writing was that of abhorrence instead of dedication and care. As a result, the papers I turned in high school were hit or miss depending on how the teacher felt about my paper but usually my essay grades were ,needless to say, not As. However, deep down…

First, I prepared four cups of water, straws varying in length, 6 sheets of wax paper and aluminum foil, 2 stacks of toilet paper and paper towels, 2 metal sponges (1 copper and 1 silver), and 6 different types of texture and color sponges that I cut into small rectangles and circles. Next, I arranged the living in order for proper spacing for the fieldwork to…
