Writing is one of the most important inventions in human history and despite it having the ability to give us a way to express ourselves, our thoughts may not always be easy to convey.

There definitely has been some improvements in my writing this semester, but unfortunately there has also been some negative qualities that I have noticed coming up more often.

Mrs. Weaver, When I create my first draft I do so by freewriting, technique in which I write continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar, or topic. The final product is not even a thought in my brain. The process is my main focus; the process is emptying my brain of all excess ideas, gibberish, and irrational thoughts. I start writing with typically multiple perspectives and/or ideas. When I complete my freewriting, I realize which perspective and ideas I will be using in my writing.

Before taking writing skills two I 've had a positive mindset towards writing because I see it as a way to express my thoughts. For example, whenever I feel a bit melancholy writing a short story or just free writing always makes me feel a bit better.

First, I would like to work on my procrastination. The goal I would set for this is having an assigned paper finished two days before the due date of the rough draft. This goal will prevent mistakes when it comes to rushing a paper. In addition, this goal will also give me the ability to proof read my own papers and fix any mistakes I find. Another goal would be to figure out my writing style; consequently, this will help the writing process become easier and more enjoyable.
