Me Talking About How I Hate Writing When I first went to Baker, English was hard and I was terrible at it. I’m still bad at English. I had a bad grade and standing in front of the class or even just thinking that I was going to be called on to speak made me shake. Through the years I got better, in sixth and seventh grade I ended with a D or E, but now I currently have a C in hopes of keeping it till the end of the year. In my opinion, I am not a good writer, but I can think of good stories if I’m not rushed though I am bad at trying to put a comma in the right place. For me the places in need for improvement are in the usual “I don’t know how to do this” mindset but when it comes to actually reading a book the problem is the book not being interesting making me not read it. …show more content…

I am able to create a character and different scenarios, dialog is something I am able to do for a character if I am given a idea for their history and personality. I am not that strong when it comes to turning things into paragraphs or taking something small and trying to take every detail to make a big analysis. My writing in general sucks so remembering tiny details is hard. One project I am really proud of is when I had to make my own story, it was hard and as it went on. It started to get to the point that you could see that I couldn’t think of any ideas anymore to add to the story to make it

    “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” –Nelson Mandela. Some people say that change is a bad thing, and some say that change is a blessing. Change is what makes us human. It is what enables us to grow wiser and stronger, and it is also what allows us to love, hate, and grow. I have grown so much since I have started the eighth grade in ways that I love, and ways that I have not yet recognized. I have learned and changed greatly throughout mathematics, science, and history, but I have learned the most about writing properly. Throughout the year, I have changed and recognized my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, my strategies and my progression, and what has caused change and the change to come.

    Like reading, in the beginning, I saw writing as a chore, something you only must do when you needed to do homework or at school. It was something your teacher made you do in the beginnings of class to “open your mind.” I hated the idea of writing about how my Christmas was or what I did over the weekend. It was all too tedious and boring, because it was never about what I wanted to write about, fiction.

    When it comes to writing I have the hardest time in just getting started. I’m a horrible procrastinator and I overthink about my writing before I have even started a sentence. I worry that I will fail to get my point across or sometimes that I have a point at all. I worry that my writing is just a stream of consciousness on paper and that it will confuse any reader unfortunate enough to stumble across my meandering words.

    Unfortunately, I wouldn’t say that I am one who enjoys writing as a hobby it definitely doesn’t bore me I just enjoy using my imagination while I read therefore if I am writing it would be on a specific topic or certain subject. I preferred to research my topic in-depth so that I may have a full understanding of what I will be writing about, I will be researching and thinking about both my side and if one exists the opposing sides views or arguments. I will then start to write any and all of my ideas and thoughts down, this is usually just a long free write so I usually use 2-3 sheets of paper during this step writing down anything that I want to say about the topic as well as any reliable sources I can refer to.

  • Personal Narrative: My Life As A Writer

    My story as a writer has constantly changed as I've gotten older and experienced new writing situations in my job field in the military. When I was younger, of course I had to write for school like everyone else but I also used to write short stories in my free time, that I would keep to myself. I enjoyed writing in my free time more because it allowed me the freedom to write stories on what I wanted and at my pace and it was like a hobby. As I got older my writing then started to become solely work related and I stopped writing in my free time. This was a negative and a positive for me because in the military I had to learn how to write based off who I was writing an email or a report to, which made me think a bit harder on the words I would

  • Developing My Personal Literacy Skills

    My reading and writing skills were still very poor when I left primary school, I had missed out on a lot of the foundations of these skills and they were never addressed again in my later schooling life. I used many shortcuts like audio books and abridged texts to lessen the amount of reading I was required to do during my time in high school. My reading abilities remained at the same level for many years and it took a wonderful author and a 28 hour flight to remedy this. My vocabulary and comprehension have improved immeasurably in the time since that day and now I love to read and do a lot of additional reading to develop my literacy further. Within the area of written literacy my main difficulties are with punctuation and grammar. It is only now in the past year I have taken the time and had the motivation to improve my writing. After completing a unit entitled Thinking and Writing at Univers...
