Writing Is My Passion; An Autobiographical Essay Writing is something that I love to do, academic or not. I know that I have both strengths and weaknesses. Nonetheless, even with my love for writing, there are also things that I find to be difficult and frustrating. However, there is nothing that I would love to do more than write and improve on my writing for the rest of my life. I have things that I desire to improve upon, and things that I feel could use work as I take this course. The best academic essay I have ever written was my piece on weighted GPAs versus unweighted GPAs in a high school setting. I weighed the pros and cons of having weighted GPAs against not having them, and eventually came to the conclusion that having a weighted …show more content…

One of these things is having to find inspiration before I can start to write. If I try to write without inspiration, it becomes bad writing, and it seems to drone on for a long time. If I write without inspiration, nothing sounds right or good. Another thing I find frustrating about writing is when I do not like the topic. If I don’t like the topic, it makes starting the work a lot harder than it would if I liked the topic. I feel like that plays into my problem with lack of inspiration, but there are a few small differences. I might adore the topic, and not have inspiration, and it makes it harder to write. In this scenario, there is nothing motivating me to convey my feelings and put work into a topic that I don’t find interesting. As I mentioned before, there are goals that I have for my writing as I take this course. One of those goals is to learn more about active and passive voice, so that I may make my writing more appealing to the reader. I know a few, very basic things about active and passive voice. I know that a passive voice is sometimes seen as poor writing, so I would like to learn how to avoid using passive voice and how to incorporate more active voice into my

  • Personal Narrative: My Relationship With Writing

    858 Words  | 2 Pages

    My relationship with writing has been much like roller coaster.Some experiences I had no control over. Other experiences were more influential. Ultimately it wasn’t until I started reading not because I had to read but because I wanted to, that's when my relationship reached change. I would have probably never cared about writing as I do today if it weren't for the critics in my family. When I was a child, my aunts and uncles always been in competition with who's child is better in school. I have always hated reading and writing because of the pressure to prove my family wrong was overwhelming for me.

  • Who I Am as a Writer?

    666 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing is a way in which a person can express their thoughts and ideas through the use of words. Everybody has their own writing styles. Some may consider theirs as inspirational while others think of it to be bad. Writing requires a lot of patience and time. In my case, writing has never been my favorite thing to do. I am no Shakespeare and I never will be, writing has always made me feel uncomfortable. In the past, I had always considered writing to be one of the most difficult tasks. I often wrote about topics that were not of my interest. I rarely did any writing out of school or for leisure as most people do. I only wrote because the teacher asked us to. Writing has always been forced onto me. Even though my writing isn't that great, I've felt that I've never been given the freedom to express my voice. Academic writing has always made me anxious. And, anxiety had resulted in my procrastination. Even though I consider writing to be one of the toughest tasks, I've felt that giving myself enough time to think allows me to do better. Silence helps me think beyond horizons. However, the fear of impressing someone, the anxiety and frustration is what makes me a developing writer.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Writing

    194 Words  | 1 Pages

    While being enrolled in my English 112 DL07 composition class, I have faced some challenging situations. For instance, writing a rhetorical analysis is not as straightforward as one would imagine. There are several strategic techniques that need to be implied; there is also planning, note-taking, forethought, and prewriting. On the other hand, I overcame this tough situation by taking the appropriate amount of time to get my thoughts and ideas together to create a rough draft. I believe I do fully understand what is academically expected of me for this term. This may sound like sarcasm, but it is the truth, I enjoy writing, and analyzing essays. Writing is a passion and stress reliever to me there is nothing better than writing an essay. Achieving

  • Essay About Myself as a Writer

    1272 Words  | 3 Pages

    I have learned a lot about myself in the last twelve weeks. I discovered so much about my writing. I learned who I really am once I came out from behind the "Official Style" that I've clung to since junior high. I have to tell you, it was very difficult for me to let go. I felt lost and uncertain. But in the process I found myself, my style, and my voice. I learned to let myself come through in my writing. I have to admit, writing became a lot more fun and interesting.

  • Reflecting on My Writing

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I am assigned to write an essay, the first thing I do is panic. I panic because I always seem to run into the same problems with my writing process. I have no central idea. I have no clue what I actually want to write about. When I was younger, I always started by making a web or an outline because thats what my teachers encouraged me to do in school, but I don’t do that anymore. Now I sit in front of my laptop, I take a deep breath, close my eyes, gather my thoughts, and type. I just let my thoughts flow onto the page. When I don’t feel the pressure of writing to an audience, my writing is completely different than it is when I am writing something that I know my professor or peers will read. As I am writing this exact sentence, I don’t quite know where I am going with it. My writing process is unorthodox and unorganized, but it is what I do everytime. When I stop trying to follow the linear model of writing, explained by Nancy Sommers as the process of forming an idea, writing about it, then revising afterwards, I feel that I am more capable of discovering something meaningful within my words. When I am forced to write a thesis statement and base my paper solely on it, it doesn’t come out as good as I think it should. It decreases the potential for my ideas to grow and discoveries to be made. It limits me to a single statement and narrows my thoughts, preventing me from discovery.

  • My Experience In Writing: My Process Of Writing

    1440 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am sitting in my bed, thinking about my process of writing as I am trying to go through it. It seems the more I think about it, the less I understand it. When I am writing, I don’t think. Which I know, sounds bad. But, I spend every single moment of every single day over thinking, over analyzing, and over assuming every aspect of my life. When I’m writing, I’m free from that for just a little bit. Until of course, my hands stop typing or the pencil (no pens- never pens) stops moving, then I’m right back on the carousel that is my brain. Heidi Estrem says, “...writers use writing to generate knowledge that they didn’t have before.” (Writing is a Knowledge-Making Activity 18). I believe my ability to write without an exact destination

  • English 101 Reflection

    589 Words  | 2 Pages

    Writing has never been my strongest suit. While I have always done sufficient in writing and english classes, math and science are subjects that I take to with more ease. Because of this preference I have never loved anything I have written, nor have I felt confident in showing others my assignments. Through AP Language and Composition as a junior in high school, I was introduced to many of the concepts I would later see in English 101, but neglected to understand them to the extent I now do. Learning how to properly analyze a piece of text or a picture for rhetoric would have been a chore in the past, yet through this class I have learned to enjoy putting together the puzzle pieces an author gives. While analysis came easily, and I quickly grew to enjoy it, synthesizing arguments and opposing views was more of a challenge. Consequently, it took many drafts and trial and error to grasp this concept and feel confident in the work I produced, but can proudly say I did so. The work I have had to put into this course has not been wasted, and I have learned so much. I now feel confident in the writing I am able to

    I struggle with them because I find it difficult to come up with my own original ideas and having to use my imagination. Making my writing flow smoothly when having to create an original story is also another issue I have. Personally, writing them is a time consuming process involving sitting at my desk thinking about it, writing maybe a paragraph or two, another long period of thinking, and repeat. They are more difficult, but I would like to improve my skills so that I can have an easier time writing them. Overall, I have issues with writing and

  • My Strength and Weakness in Composition Writing Class

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first writing weakness was deciding what to write about. I had to read the essay topic over and over again to understand what it was asking for. I would worry that I wouldn’t understand the topic correctly. While writing the essay I was scared to get out of topic and write about something else I wasn’t supposed to write about. Another thing that would happen to me was that suddenly my mind would go blank and wouldn’t be able to think about what else I could write about. The essay I liked writing the most this semester was the second essay. I enjoyed making my own planet and how my alien had a quest with all the commercials I saw on the TV. The hardest essay I wrote this semester was the fourth and last essay. I got confused when I was writing the body paragraphs. This writing weakness impacted my life by showing me that I have trouble thinking about how I could write my essays. I think I should start reading books and maybe I could get a few ideas out of those books.

    I am not, by any means, a Shakespeare, Stephen King, or John Grisham. It would take enormous amounts of time, practice, and effort to be considered a long shot at a Pulitzer Prize.

Also, I will use the advice of instructors and peers, and draw from previous writing experiences to mold this and future writing experiences.

    I don’t consider myself a very good writer. I write when I am made to or when I have something that I need to say that I can’t just tell someone. I keep a diary. Usually my diary is just a record of what I have done that day. It’s not so much about my feelings. I don’t really like talking about my feelings, usually because most of the time I am confused about what exactly I am feeling. I tend to keep the feelings that I do have to myself, to protect myself from getting hurt.
