In this paper I will discuss my goals as a writer and ways that can help me write effectively, and write so that the audience whom I’m writing will be able to understand what my points are without trying to guess. As I began to write this essay I began to ask myself “why am I’m writing and what message I need for my audience to receive. I’ve noticed something, most times I set goals I don’t follow through with them because I never take the time to write my goals down, and secondly I tend to forget because I’ve not written them down. I’ve noticed on occasion when I did write my goals down I always followed through on them. While it gave me clarity on what I’m supposed to be doing I always complete things I do when I write them down. One of the challenges I face when writing is “structure”. It comes from me not knowing where to put marks such as: commas, semi colons, and exploration marks to name a few. I’ve noticed that structure has a lot to do with daily activities and not just writing. I also have a hard time with my opening sentencing. Which is, “what is the purpose of my writing, and what idea am I trying to relay to my audience”?
The reasons why I’ve set goals for writing is, it will force me to clarify what I want as a better writer. When I write down my thoughts verses trying to remember I can clearly understand what and why I wrote the idea down. It will also motivate me to take action on my goals to become a better writer; another reason is it could land me a world of opportunities such as promotions on my job, but my main reason is it will help me to see my progress as a writer. Where I am at this current time and where I’ll be in 8 weeks after this class is complete.
The steps I will take in order for me to reach my goals will be to write my material down before I submit it, reread it over and over to make sure I am reaching my intended audience, grammar check and have someone proofread the material to have that second
