My Strengths as a Writer

My strengths as a writer are being able to use vivid detail, having good sentence structure, and making my paragraphs well developed. I try to use vivid detail to give the readers of my blog a feel for the piece of writing. For example, in my personal narrative I wrote about lake day at camp. I tried to use vivid detail when explaining everything to make the readers feel like they were actually there. I try to use good sentence structure in mostly all of my sentences of a piece of writing ranging from a blog post to a research essay. I do this to make the blog post or paper more developed and hopefully get a better grade because of it. I try to make my paragraphs well developed by making them long enough to be a paragraph and making every sentence in the paragraph relevant to the topic of paragraph. I consider myself a writer who has these strengths as a writer.

After my visit to the writing center, my in- text citations were correctly cited and in proper format. After this visit, not only did my paper have good in-text citations, but I also knew how to do them correctly for future research papers. Paraphrasing is another thing that when wr...

Areas I Still Need to Work on in My Writing

Some areas that I still need to work on in order to make my writing better are the use of commas to avoid comma splices, being able to meet the length requirement without a problem, and making my writing interesting and not too boring to read. I have always had a problem with commas in my papers. This may seem like a silly issue but when it comes to the overall development of the paper, commas really do matter. I always either use too many commas or not enough commas. When I use too many commas, it can result in my paper having a lot of comma splices. Another thing I need to work on is being able to meet the length requirement without having to fluff the paper up too much. One last thing I need to work on in my writing is making it interesting and enjoyable for the readers to read. I can usually make my writing interesting if the topic of the blog post is a free post, but I need to work on being able to make it interesting if the topic is the most boring topic ever. When...
