I have always loved to write,; it has been a happy place for me to express my thoughts and share my imagination; in short stories:, songs, letters to friends, - anything that lets me share with others,. I love the idea of putting onto paper all the amazing things that the mind can come up with ,. I get so caught up in the actual writing part , trying to get all those images and thoughts out into the real world. I don't stop writing to see how it is progressing, andor slow down enough to read what I'm writing.
Not until high school did I feel that my writing was a problem, and I had a high school teacher that was able to show me the importance of slowing down, proofreading, and pacing myself. This way, I know my ideas are coming out and saying what I wanted to get across clearly, instead of just going full speed with ideas and missing key points in words. Slowing down and thinking about what I want to say and really formulateing a plan has helped me so much in my every day life. eEven outside of the classroom setting from writing emails or notes to a friend. iIt' has really helped me choose my thoughts and my ideas more carefully, and that it can take many different drafts until your is writing something you're happy to put your name on and have it represent you. I have taken that guidance and it has made me a stronger writer,. yYou're not only giving a piece of yourself every time you write something, but the time and effort it takes to make a good piece of writing - it's just amazing.
During this course, I would like to keep improving on my writing and continuinge working on my skills as a writer, so bad habits don't come back again. I would like to make my writing stronger so I am able to share my imagination with others and show them how I see the world.
