Writing has become not so daunting anymore. I used to sit and think about what I would write about; at least now I can write a sentence without pausing to think. I used to be a man of few words, but now I just let my words flows out of my brain without second thought. I always had a problem of writing under the limit because I felt any excessive writing would be unnecessary. However, I make my essay meet the page limit now by clarifying everything to the reader. I delve into my writing and leave no stone unturned.
This class been great in self-reflecting what I have done so far and what is in store in the future. Writing out my self-reflection lets you see yourself in a different way. I look back at my first blog post entitled “I write to rewrite.” That was so true, and I left out it would take hours to compose something so simple because I wasn’t confident in writing. There is also a lot of personal thought put into my writing that makes it distinguishable because this self-reflection class has allowed me to develop my character.
Another wonderful skill, and most likely the important, was actual recognition of the audience. I always wrote a little because I could pick up the pieces of the puzzle and make out what my main idea was. However, after receiving almost the same feedback week after week, I understood that my audience might not always understand what I am writing. My analysis became more developed with a much clearer focus.
Now I think about the future; will my writing lose its momentum? Or will it age like fine wine? I believe if I continue to write, experience will only make my writing better. Thank you.
