I have a love-hate relationship with writing. I sometimes feel like it is hard to enjoy writing when I am constantly obsessing over every possible grammatical error in my paper. Although writing is difficult at times, I have a special place for it in my heart. I consider passion to be one of my greatest strengths in writing. When I receive a certain topic that makes me feel a strong emotion, I can write about that topic for days and never lose interest. Another strength of mine is my creativity. I am an artist, and I always strive to be creative in every aspect of my life.
Writing is the one subject that always seems to be a struggle. One of my main weaknesses is making careless grammar errors. Commas kill me. Another weakness of mine is probably my worst weakness. I have a difficult time knowing when I am allowed to switch verb tenses. Lastly, many things cause me stress. It causes me stress knowing that every teacher has different writing rules and exceptions, and I never know what is exactly allowed. I catch myself overthinking too much on simple writing assignments, and this causes me stress also.
Welcome!
I’m so excited to hear about your passion! One of the skills we’ll practice in this class is reviewing and revising drafts we’ve already written. See how the writing process goes if you put your ideas on paper in your first draft without worrying about the grammar, and then proofreading what you have.
