I have been writing for as long as I have been in school. Its not one of my stronger suits and I have not really ever liked it. My dislike of writing can sometimes effect my writing overall. From this class I am hoping my writing skills will become more developed and make writing much easier for me. I have the basic teachings of writing down but, any further then that I have trouble with. For instance, I can write 5 paragraph essays no problem but when you add in all the research, rules of thumb, and techniques I start to get overwhelmed. I have written poems, reviews, and stories since the beginning of elementary school. My stories are probably one of my only average skills in writing. I find it much easier to make up random plots and storylines and letting the story drift off in whatever direction.
