What is writing? Is it the five paragraph essay, a research paper, a letter, a novel, a poem, or haiku? Writing drives me absolutely crazy because every teacher seems to wants the job done a different way. Honestly, a paper is so less genuine when written under specific guidelines.
1. What are your strengths as a writer?
I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to papers. Although sometimes this can be bad (because I over edit), often times it's really helpful. I refuse to turn in a paper before it has been proofread at least twice.
2. What do you need to improve in your writing?
I need a practical structure for all my papers. This doesn't have to be something everyone will use. I just want to figure out what method works for me.
3. What two or three aspects of your writing would you like to work on this semester?
I need to improve sentence structure. It's easy for me to ramble. Sentences that make sense to me often "run on" to the reader. Also, I need to widen my vocabulary and learn how to make words jump off the page for the reader (especially in intros and conclusions).
4. For me, writing is like...
...driving a car. I am terrible at directions, but once I figure out where I am going it all seems to flow from there. I get to where I need to go, even if I have gone WAY out of my way.
