My main goal for the year was to improve my writing and I do believe I have accomplished that. I am especially proud of how my introduction and conclusion paragraphs have improved. I never knew where to begin with those, but now I feel much more confident when I sit down to write those parts of my essay. I also feel like I did improve on grammar, which is my weakest part of writing an essay. I still have a lot I can improve on in all aspects of my writing, but I am very thankful for this class and the feedback I have received on all my papers. I would like to wish the rest of you good luck on your finals and I hope you all have a great

My 5 goals will be the pillars that keep my bridge up and from collapsing, by the use of these 5 goals I will easily transition from high school writing to college writing.
This year, with my six essays in hand, I have been able to map out my improvements in my writing. Before this analysis, I was sure my weakness would have been Organization, and my strongest would have been Voice, just like last year. However, things have changed. This year, my weakness in my writing is Conventions and my strength in writing is my Voice. These two things are important, along with the other four traits that I have graded myself on.
Learning how to develop effective writing skills is really not as hard as you may think. In many cases, you can make improvements by applying simple adjustments to your individual writing process. To start, you must actually remove yourself from the whole process of writing, thus being able to actually figure out what it is you mean to say. Most people become so involved in the 'how' of writing that they forget what it is they mean to communicate. They only make writing more difficult. The process itself is not what is difficult; it is your mind that fabricates the complications. The following writing tips will help you develop effective writing skills, making your job much easier and making you more productive.
Writing Is a kind of typing symbols, letters and other writing tools to help the writer communicate with the reader or connect his ideas. It is the fourth skill in language skills and the most one that needs creation and imagination. In this essay, I am going to write about the importance of developing writing.
Rain is crucial to all living things from every walk of life. Rain brings destruction and regrowth, leaving a clean slate and a new beginning. I selected this theme because while the focal point and characters change throughout my writing the constant idea throughout my pieces consisted of moving on, growing, and starting a new beginning. I think that lately my writing has been full of an unknown tone, an excitement/ fear of growing up and starting over. I believe this is all because I've reached a point in my life where I’m going to college and moving away. I’m delighted to be able to go out on my own and experience new things, but it’s kind of nostalgic to know that my childhood is coming to a close. However I’m aware that not all people

The benefits of The Little Red Writing Book entail sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar and syntax where at the end of each section, there are activities for practice. Furthermore, text books and tutor’s notation for required discipline will enhance my learning in reading and writing.
Typically, after being assigned an essay, my first step used to be sitting in front of the computer and starting to type aimlessly with no specific goal in my mind. This process usually ends up taking hours, and I do not end up accomplishing much at the end. This year, I plan to formulate a new process that will hopefully improve my writing exceptionally. Breaking down the essay writing into pieces will result in quality content. The writing process that I devised incorporates some of the basic elements of writing such as: prewriting, revising, and editing.

Other than that, it should be readable and easy to understand. Last but not least, my writing should be polished.
I am in the same boat with you when it comes to writing skills. I know I wasn’t born with it at all but I try every day to better my writing skills.

Ever since the first grade i have had awful handwriting. Over the years my handwriting slowly improved but not by much. You can read it much easier now than back when i was younger. So when i asked myself what me as a writer looked liked my first thought was not a very good writer. I struggle a lot with my handwriting skills i tried my best to make it look good and readable, but most of the time i end up writing to fast and then it turned very sloppy and was hard to read. I prefer to type on the computer to write my papers then to hand write all of my english assignments.
Throughout the semester were several writing experiences that I found easy and very challenging. There were numerous variations of writing that I was unfamiliar with, such as SASEs, annotative bibliographies, and interview reports.

I have been able to identify my strengths and weaknesses and contort them to my advantage in ways that I never could in previous writing classes. As a result of these instances that will be further discussed in the following, I can, without a doubt, say that I have drastically improved as a writer this semester.

I need to stay consistent and have fluidity. We have not learned many new things about writing this year. We mostly just learned about the things we were reading and then just gave us the prompt to write about it.
