“Leadership and the Importance of Writing Well” Reflection As a writer I judge myself on a scale one to ten, I’m about a six, which is my honest opinion.

Grammar is the main area of writing I would change. I am really bad at grammar, I think you can tell but, I am willing to improve on my grammar skills because, it is…

Academic writing has usually been fairly effortless for me, up to this point in my life. Since I came directly from high school to this university, my professional writing experience is, sadly, limited to the two weeks notice letter I wrote to my boss before I quit my part time job at the fine dining establishment known as Chik-Fil-A.

The art of writing is a phenomenon similar to playing an instrument or practicing a sport. In all activities, no matter how much practice or experience someone has, there is always room for some type of improvement.

The seven steps of the writing process are: discovering, planning, composing, getting feedback, revising, editing, and proofreading. Sometimes is impossible to follow all the…

Writing is one of the many important skills in every student’s life. It is a form of communication because it lets an individual deliver the message with simplicity and in a written form. I clearly remember that when I was a kid, I used to get very excited when I was going to learn something new. The earliest experience I can remember about writing is when I was five years old and I had to learn how to write in Bengali and English. I remember my first day of school in Bangladesh; I was just a…

Throughout my journey in English 101 college writing, I have learned a great deal about my approach to writing. When I was younger, I always struggled with writing because I would have so many ideas, but I never knew how to put them on paper.
