Writing system

Its a beautiful Sunday morning and I thought I would try writing with the computer. I have been engaging in this debate in my mind over the past few days: is it better to write longhand or type? Even as I type I find a different skill in motion as my fingers work to capture my thoughts. Its funny, how I am focused more on the method then on content right now.

the earliest writing systems were drawings usually done on rock, sides of mountains and cave walls. Doesn’t that seem pretty tedious? Though of course it’s beautiful, imagine writing a 10,000-word essay for a college class all done on several clay slabs with thousands of pictures. Aren’t you glad we evolved our way of writing?

Each assignment I received was a new start for me to improve my writing. My sentences were structured differently than they were in the beginning because of the grammar that we learned, concession and appositives. My ideas were explained a lot more clearly because of the data I gathered along with the elaboration of my ideas, analyses. Although my writing was…

The purpose is difficult to recognize because he was also unable to provide an introduction or a conclusion in his writing. Rather than writing a coherent…
