My Writing

Writing has never been one of my strengths. I've always had issues putting my thoughts into coherent sentences. This was especially true freshman year. My papers often didn't flow very well, and this always bothered me. All the rules of formal writing gave me issues too. Now I feel like I have a better understanding of MLA format. This has made writing a little less intimidating. I still have problems getting my thoughts on to paper. I know what I'm trying to say, but it is hard for me to say it in such a way that the reader can grasp my thoughts. Nothing is more frustrating than spending time trying to get your point across, then realizing you have stated the same idea over and over again in an attempt to explain your view. If I have a good idea, I want to express it in the best way possible. Hopefully I can overcome this struggle and become a better writer.

  1. I feel like I understand MLA format better as well because of high school writing.
