Writer

't and I am still not a strong writer when it comes to academics. I also hate writing for a class. Although, I feel like I have grown when it comes to my writing since high school. In high school, I was so embarrassed of hearing criticism about my papers, or having to read them out loud. Whereas now I am ready for it, and I want to hear what people have to think about my writing. In a few short months I feel like I have a better understanding of myself as a writer, and what I need to improve on…

I am not a journalist; I am a screenwriter, but like you, I have an affinity for writing because it is a fine art, like sculpting or painting. In college, I was a political science major, and I loved it because every course taught me something new and exciting about the structure of governments, the ideologies of foreign countries, or the norms and customs of any given culture. Whether I was documenting the plight of African American children in the South or the rise of the Islamic Republic in…

I consider myself to be an awful writer. My whole life I've seen myself as mediocre throughout various schools and classes. I love writing and I feel like the things I create in my free time are pretty good. However, when I'm required to create an essay based off of a topic I either don't know or don't care about, I slack off and wait until the very last minute to get to work. I know I'm not alone in this endeavor, students today feel as if they are extremely average. If a student can find…

Shivam 1 Shivam Gupta Professor Keith MacDonald Composition 1 20 October 2017 Read Like a Writer In Mike Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer” he explains how one can become a better reader simply by trying to understand the article from the point of view of the writer, by analyzing every word, sentence or paragraph with one question in mind, "what effect did the writer intend to have with these words?". I believe it is important for us to have this skill because it gives us a better insight into…

problems with writing. Being a writer, he experienced bad events that gave him the opportunity to write about what he faced. By knowing the answers, to these are questions: “What must a writer do or experience to write well?” “Why must one write?” “What benefits come from writing well?” you will become a better writer.

I write this correspondence as a means to convey my feelings regarding the matter of my personal growth as a writer. My goals, though simple in nature, were mainly to finish the required writing on time and with great haste. I think I may have successfully managed that much and even more gained an enhanced understanding a rhetoric. Mostly with the earlier assignments of weekly writing was where I felt I tried much harder to write something I was proud of. To accomplish my goal of writing the…

Anyone can be a writer. The numbers that can actually be good writers, on the other hand, are much slimmer. On Writing, a memoir by the highly acclaimed Stephen King, gives its readers a glimpse into the author's private and professional life and just what exactly does it take to make it as a writer. Throughout the book, King constantly hammers in the fact that those who plan to write a novel in hopes of it becoming a bestseller, so that they may reap in the fame and fortune that follows it,…

As a writer, I learned that I can write and produce well thought out writing pieces. I also learned that if I go through the proper steps, my writings get better and better and I write pieces I am proud of. In the past, I have always quickly wrote a paper and then thought I was done. I was usually not proud of my work and always thought I must not be a good writer. Through this class I have learned that there is a writing process and if I go through this process I can produce better papers and…

To explain who I am as a writer I think we would need to step back and look at who I was as a reader. From a young age, I was horrible at reading. I would put in special programs that would have me read books to younger grade children to make it seem like I knew how to read. Well, at least I thought I knew how to read. When it came down to it I was three reading levels below my class. This was in third grade. In third grade, I was three reading levels below my class so you could only believe how…

My approach as a writer is that I must ponder over what I should write about and how it should be written before I go on to start the essay. I am perceived to be a board walker: I have a simple task and the ability necessary to do it, but I am frozen at the start line thinking of what to do until I look back and realize a fire started on the building supporting the end of the board meaning it is time to move. The assignment asks that I analyze my growth as a critical writer and thinker, but I…
