Writing is like being force fed onions. I hate onions with a passion but they are good for you and in some food they give it a good flavor. I love to talk but writing is a little more difficult I guess it is all of the thought you have to put into writing , commas, the grammatical errors and using different words that mean the same word but in a different context. I really even hate to say this but until this day I have a bit of difficulty with “there” , “their” , “where”, and “were” if I think about it too hard then I will use the wrong one , this is kind of embarrassing but I figure it could be worst I could be a terrible speller . I am an excellent speaker I would think this would make me a better writer I couldn’t be more wrong.
I don’t think I will ever like onions but I believe if they are cooked and cut up really small I can’t they are in my food , this leads me to believe there is hope for me to be a better writer , I just need to put forth more of an effort. The most difficult thing I have come to figure out about writing, is writing about things you don’t really care about, instructors, professors and teachers expect you to embrace things that just don’t interest you, I have ran into this several times and mom my tells me that “it will make you more diverse in subjects and cultures to have a better understanding about different things”, I just say ok.
I write emails and text everyday this is my main point of communication being located so far away from everything and family, I don’t have to be so formal with my friends and family. I like to abbrev. and shorthand all of my messages. When I find out I have to write a paper I think of stress and strain , when I hear the word I try to run but I am not fast enough (bad knee). High school just kind of flew by I can remember doing a lot of writing in high school, thesis I don’t like that word either but I have come to terms that it’s not going anywhere.
I have to say I have improved drastically since high school, when I have to write a paper I try to prepare, I do this by gathering information, I love to read so that’s not a problem, by creating an outline so to speak and writing down all of my sources, I try to put a paper in order of intro, three Para supporting, conclusion now I remember that’s what I got from high school. I hope to become a better writing after taking this course, I picked a career field that allows me to do mass amount of talking but the writing is equivalent to the talking that’s a lot. I use one word to get me through a lot f writing assignments “Motivation”; I picked it up when I was in the US Army.
