My Writing Strength
Writing for me has never came naturally to me, there are some writers that are born with it and then there are some writers like myself who isn’t. don’t get me wrong I do have my strengths as a writer which consists of being able to take a topic and express it in detail with examples and sensory details. However, with that strength comes my weakness of punctuation which includes run on sentences, I tend to carry on a thought way to long and don’t know when to end that thought, or how to end that thought occasionally without losing the meaning behind the point I am proving.

After reading chapter 4 I was able to sit back and reflect on my own writing style. When it comes down to introductions they come easy for me. I don’t really have to put any thought to it because I know exactly what I’m going to say and how I’m going to say it. On the other hand, my intros tend to be long because I

So, I turned to writing because I was able to find solitude I loved writing, but I beat myself up every time because I feel like I lack on the punctuation side of things. I am improving every day, while some don’t enjoy having someone proof read and edit their papers I thrive for it. In my eyes I take the criticism and correct the paper because I lack in some errors that others don’t, the measures I am personally taking are to read more genres of books to get back in the style of writing, also going to writing labs since I feel my true weakness is just writing I can comprehend English it’s just the aspect of mind to pen to paper that gets me bogged. I sometimes get caught in the moment and forget about the punctuations. which adversely causes me to go into run on sentences which becomes my huge problem within

    My biggest issue is grammar. I am not good at using proper grammar when writing at all. I don’t know when to use commas, semicolons, and other things appropriately. I either use them to often in the wrong places, or don’t use them at all and my sentences get very big.…

    Writers all have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their writings. They all have them but my weaknesses are my grammar, spelling, and my punctuation. First of I don’t really understand all of the rules of grammar, therefore I am not good at grammar in the first place. The thing that I know I can't do the most out of all three of these topics is my spelling. I am so bad at spelling and it can be very bad on my writings, my punctuation could use some work also. I either forget to use it or just don't know that I was supposed to. I feel like it is a good thing that I am taking this class because I need…

    By analysing my recent report card (mid-semester 2, 2017) I have discovered several improvements that I have taken into consideration. I have also received good feedback from my teachers concerning my seven subjects. Throughout these subjects (Math, Science, Indonesian, English, Visual art, HPE) I have displayed the seven PLP capabilities, but as always, there is still room for improvement. My literacy skills were shown through my English course in which the teacher said I am “able to write well-constructed paragraphs to develop an argument” and can “create her own justified interpretations.”…

    Towards the beginning of English 110, I wanted to improve upon several issues within my writing style. These issues included the frustration of attempting to improve upon my inability to write a coherent sentence after experiencing intense feelings of irritation and boredom. The other problem involved my inability to create seamlessly flowing paragraphs from one to the next. My goal was to improve my writing abilities by practicing and learning to expunge those mistakes and become a caring writer for the papers I had to write. I have met some of these goals with relative success.…

    My writing is easier to understand and more effective for communication because I have learned valuable grammar and punctuation rules. I always thought that if I didn’t understand grammar rules by now, there would be no chance for me to ever understand them, but this semester proved me wrong. Now, I enjoy learning about these rules, so they stick better in my mind. I’ve learned that it is the seemingly miniscule aspects that can help or hinder me when writing. For example, placing a comma in the wrong place can alter the entire meaning of a sentence. It’s crucial for me that my grammar and punctuation make sense and do not distort the meanings of my…

    I have always had faith in my writing capabilities; however, it wasn’t until I started my first year of college English, that I realized no matter how great of a writer I thought I was, there was always room for improvement! Some of my strengths as a writer include personality, voice, and the ability to add transitions that give character to my writing style. I have many weaknesses in my writing: grammar, spelling, punctuation (which I happen to be working on every time I write), and many other quirks that a brilliant writer would catch. Between paper one and paper two, I have mastered projecting my “voice”, as well as my personality. I like my papers to feel as though I was sitting next to the reader and chatting with them about my story.…

    Throughout my Writing experience I have always had trouble with making the sentence make sense, making it sound professional and doing what the assignment tells to do. I think that this class has actually helped me a lot more than in High School. The new paragraph is better because I listened to what my peers advised me to do and what the book says how the paragraphs should look like. I think I can still use some work on punctuations, because that’s my weakness I have always struggled with punctuations and I think it’s time to start doing better on those punctuations. Even If I knew how to do punctuations and everything that involves writing a good essay or paragraph I think that there will be still a lot more to learn for me, but I can take a challenge.…

    What a journey my writing has experience over the past seven weeks has been. I have grown as writer more in this class than I have previously. Writing has always been a challenge for me. Many people have heard of someone who just can’t get math, well that is me with writing. Back in high school there many times that an assignment did not get turned, not because I had not worked on it, but I could never get the ideas in my head to make sense when I wrote them on paper. I would get so frustrated that many ended up in the trash crumpled. For every assignment we have worked on I still get frustrated. What takes many, minutes to write and sound eloquent take me, hours to sound short and abrupt. But with each lesson we have gone through my…

    What I need to do to fix the issues with my typos is and grammatical errors is to sit down and actually take the time to reread what I wrote. Taking the time to revise my writing will not only improve my overall scores on my papers, it will also improve the quality of my writing in the future. The way that I will fix my issue with lacking details in sentences and paragraphs is to outline my ideas for the paper before I begin to write. Writing my ideas down on paper first will allow me to build on my ideas rather than having to come up with details for my ideas as I am writing the paper. I feel quite confident so far in my abilities as a critical and analytical thinker.…
