Reflective Essay: I Am As A Writer
To begin on a good note, I love to write very much so. One problem with writing and I is that I forget all the technical details about writing. I enjoy writing about the things that matter to me in life such as, cars, scientific articles, and breakthroughs in technology. I really enjoy the art of writing, however It takes a lot of brainpower to get me into the swing of writing properly and efficiently.
First, I must say that I am a writer that procrastinates a lot. I’ll have good intentions to start an essay when I first get home, but then I get hungry, look up car parts, and lose interest in writing the piece. But, once I get in the swing of writing I can normally stay focused. I usually write essays in a calm, quiet environment, occasionally …show more content…
I often struggle with integrating quotes into my writing in a literary analysis. I more so struggle with coming up with main points and ideas in the essay, I can think of them in my head but more often than not I cannot find a good way to transfer my ideas to the paper. Although I may not excel at those things, I believe I do well in summarizing, paraphrasing (I’m good at analyzing non-fiction text especially). As of now you know how I write, and why I write like I do, but I have a few more things to address about myself as a writer that didn’t fall under a category of a weakness.
With all this being said about my writing weaknesses I still find ways to enjoy writing and work past the struggles in writing- I may not be the most organized writer in the world, while the graphic organizers do indeed help me, but I always find myself changing my mind on what to write, whatever sounds better to the ear to me. My desire to change what I already have written may be why I’m unorganized at times. One thing that anybody that truly knows me knows, is that I rarely ever quit something once it is started, and I will continue to do my best until it is physically impossible for me to do
