I am a writer who uses the variety of words to get across my topic. In my writing it's clear that word choice is one of my strengths. I always try to use unique words that will grab readers and pull them in. My goal in doing so is to put them in my shoes by giving them something to chew on. "The dog was an interesting blue that made it sparkle," is different from "The dog had an interesting shade of blue fure that glistened in the sunlight with every step." Yes, they are basically the same sentence, but one flows better and describes the dog better.
However, I am also a writer who sometimes makes errors in ideas or organization. This mistakes could be two sentences controverting each other, or two sentences that may be ordering incorrectly. For example, in my recent literacy narrative paper my brother found a flaw. To summarize the lines, I was always scared of the WrAP tests, which had proven to be troublesome the years before, but I was prepared to end its streak. He said I was obviously not prepared if I was so nervous, which made sense to me.
I am a writer who has strengths and weaknesses, and I suppose many others do too. So I assume I am just among the other writers in my community, looking to strengthen my weaknesses.
Very interesting! That too is one of my strengths as a writer. Now its not my strongest perks, but I do put out some pretty vivid words and descriptions. I love when I use "big boy words" and when I read over them I feel so grown up and mature.
ReplyDeleteI think its cool that your brother id kind enough to check over your essay. When easy time comes around I think I have at least four to five different drafts. I would have an original first draft, a revised first draft from the teacher or peers, another revised and edited draft from my tutor, then yet another from my mother, then yet another from myself or other peers. That is all just for the first draft. The process typically repeats for every draft. It may seem like a pain to do and carry so many copies and factor in so many edits. For example, my tutor may change a comma to a semi-colon, but then my peer and mother change it to a period and start a new sentence. therefore increasing my writing process. Great to know thats how you write and to know how i relate to you in a way. Very cool! Keep 'em coming!
