I used to believe that great writers were just born to write and I was not one of them. Now I think that some writers may have been born with this talent, but most great writers practice and practice to get where they are. As much as I try to excel in writing it seems like I do not get anywhere.
My writing skills have not change much from high school. I think writing is hard for me because I do not practice enough, or even try to attempt to write. So I have just stayed the same through the years.
I really hope this class that I am taking right now will helps me with my writing skills. Even though I know I won't need to use these writing skills in work or later on in life. I think that it helps a person with more than just writing. Through this class I hope to gain better writing skills.
I think writing is pretty complicated for some reason. It seems like it should be some what easy because you are able to express yourself in writing. When I have a writing assignment due; no matter what some time during the writing I will get frustrated. This leads to either taking a long break or just giving up for the day. At this rate it takes me a long time to get an essay done.
I believe that a secret spot or your own quit place is a great way to get writing or reading done. My own place where I get most of my writing done would have to be in my own room typing on my lab top. The best time of the day that I think I get most of my writing or homework would have to be late at night.
