My Writing Attitude

532 Words3 Pages

Attitude: My attitude after reading the first two chapters is not too bright. I've never been a good writer, I've always found it difficult to put my thoughts on a sheet of paper. I can't pick out the important details to include in my writing. I seem to think every detail is important and should be included. I feel like being required to take a composition course may affect my performance in accomplishing the course objectives by causing me more stress over the little things, which will make me more doubtful about my writing. I feel like the fact that I know that my writing is not good sort of holds me back from doing my best.
Inventory: I am an independent learner, so a distance education may be the right education for me. I am very practical and systematic, I prefer to approach tasks in an orderly manner. The quiz proved that I was a spatial learner, someone who takes information in by studying graphics, which was shocking to me since I always try to avoid graphics as much as I could and I'm also a very verbal person. After taking the quiz and looking at the scores, I found that I had zero check marks in the emotional column and I …show more content…

For example, if the writer is not careful about how the information is presented it makes the reader wonder whether the writer's is correct or believable. They can distract the reader and distort the meaning if not used properly. Also, if you have a really good consistency and suddenly there is a spelling error, that consistency breaks. Writing errors may also be interpreted to show a basic disrespect for the reader, as if the writer didn't think enough of the reader to get it right. Even the simplest of grammar mistakes, spelling errors, or punctuation inconsistencies can negatively affect the writer's reputation and credibility. The reader might not be able to trust the writer because of

A writing error is a point in a piece of writing where the author unknowingly creates a moment of confusion for the reader in such a way that it detracts from the piece’s meaning. A writing mistake sounds like something that is more of an “oopsie” that the writer created something that wasn’t exactly what they were trying to articulate, but they are able to realize it was a mistake when they evaluate it. I guess what drives the two apart is the fact that errors, even upon further reading, don’t jump out to the writer as being inaccurate. Whether they be mistakes or errors, it’s important for a tutor to understand the root of these inaccuracies in ESL papers. Minett discusses “contrastive rhetoric” and how writing faux pas may actually be

Summary “The most mechanical of tasks” is how Trimble’s English professor describes transcribing quotations (119). Yet, it is the lesson of doing this correctly that Trimble highlights in his chapter on proofreading. The anecdote regarding the student who miss-quoted Pope and was admonished for the lack of “credibility” this bestows upon him as a writer, provides a memorable lesson for both Trimble and his readers of Writing with Style (Trimble 119). Clearly, if one misquotes the material they are discussing they have not given due diligence to their task and consequently produce a piece of writing that lacks credibility due to its errors, thus also making the writer appear to lack credibility.

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.

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. On the other hand, I don’t believe I’m the best writer because like every other student I make mistakes in my writing. Although, I don’t take the editing negatively I always look back at my past essay and try to reflect on them to see how I can always improve my writing skills. Overall, I have a pretty good mindset towards writing even though I have my mistakes I know if I study harder I can become a better writer over time.

My first writing experience I can remember is from elementary school. I was in the 3rd grade and my librarian asked me to write her a short book because she used to hear me tell my friends stories.
