My Writing Experience Analysis

In the following essay, I will reflect on my past experiences of writing, my strengths, weaknesses, and potential goals moving forward. My writing experience has been a difficult process for me. I never enjoyed writing, never thought I was good at it, and have basically tried to avoid it at all cost. I can recall many moments in my life where I struggled with writing. As I think about my writing in high school, it is pretty depressing. I would often spend countless hours pondering on what I should write about. I have done numerous papers, ranging from summer reading essays to research papers. The process was very stressful to me. At times I would become extremely aggravated and procrastinate when I write. In certain situations, that was not the brightest idea. I lacked confidence in my early writing experience, but now I have a since of knowledge and understanding when I write. The biggest
thing I learned is that, the more you write the better you will become. Throughout my education, I have become more exposed to writing, and have improved my ability to generate pieces efficiently. As I reflect on my strengths and weaknesses, I would say that my greatest strengths in writing is that I am a very detailed writer, and able to get straight to the point.
I want to be able to get my readers and audience attention quickly. Another strength of mine is that I am good at writing about personal experiences, and stories. Whenever I am writing I always have a story in mind. Writing about stories, personal events, and everyday life comes easy to me because, I am writing about what I know, and it is continuously happening around me. Experiencing something new each day is a big help when writing about personal experiences and stories. That being said, I would say that my biggest weakness as a writer, is punctuation errors. I often write, type and think too fast to the point where I do not catch my mistakes. I would rather finish my writing, and have someone else worry about the correct punctuation. Run on sentences is also a weakness in my writing. Thinking to fast causes these mistakes. When I am in the flow of writing, I focus more on what I say, then anything
else. Goals I have set to better my writing are: expanding my vocabulary and being able to use correct grammar. Having an expanded vocabulary helps open your mind, and it sharpens your communication. Improving vocabulary also helps you use the right words when writing. In today’s society the way people view is how well you speak and how educated you are. Being able to use correct grammar will make your writing easier and enjoyable to read. Proper grammar says that you are very educated and well spoken. I attend on achieving these goals, by reading more and writing more. The more you read the more words you will be exposed to. Having a dictionary around to read, will also be helpful to my learning of new words. A good since of vocabulary can be very helpful to my grammar skills as well. Mastering these techniques will help me improve my writing and the ability to speak well.
