I hate writing, everything about makes me angry. it makes me analyze things and I always think to hard. Many of my brillant thoughts and conherent ideas cannot be formed onto a piece of literature. IT is like having the power of a nuclear bomb but never having a detonator. I would say I'm the worst at sentence variety, word placement, and word placement ( no joke ). I don't really have strengths but I would say my opinions and ideas are very good.

Writing may be the most annoying and terribly confusing part of school. But it is necessary to prove that you have learned anything about the english language, or logical thinking. Much information about an individual can be ascertained by a single essay. In my writing, I usually use logic and reasoning well but I sometimes ramble on about things that are irrevelant to the topic and do not support my thesis much.

Kayla said...

Strength has to be writing the body paragraphs more than the introduction and conclusion. I find myself sometimes it being easier to write my introduction over conclusion. My weaknesses has to be detailing my papers. I am not good with my vocabulary.

I hate writing and i really think my only strength is coming up with ideas.

I think that my strengths are : I feel as though I am very creative with my writing , I have a nice word choice and I usually think that I write nice introductions. My weaknesses however, are that I have a tendency to ramble, I am bad about run on sentences, sometimes it feels like I have a tendency to write the same thing over and over again and I have trouble writing conclusions.
