The Way I Write

Each and every day I do some sort of writing. It doesn’t matter where I am at; I will be doing some form of writing. At school, I will either be writing down notes, taking a test, or I can be writing a paper in class. Even after school I am still doing some kind of writing. I will be either texting or doing homework. Each type of writing I do in my life is in one way or another different; different in what I write or how I write, it’s some sort of different form writing.

I can’t remember specific writing experiences, but I can remember that I have done many kinds of writing for teachers in all classes. Some more interesting than others, most of them boring. I know that I write differently depending on the situation. For example, in a text message to a friend, words are shortened and there are no punctuations to end what I am saying. Also, in a text message, the only word that is capitalized is the very first word of the text, which is done automatically by the phone. Writing for school teachers, the writings are more serious. I write more carefully and more precise. Words are spelled write, proper punctuations, and the sentences make sense. Depending on the seriousness of the writing for school, I will more than likely create an outline to guide me through it. Creating an outline is usually done when I write an assignment that is worth a lot of points. Outlines make my writing cleaner and more organized then when I just write something.

Most of my writing is done in the comfort of my home, just like now, as I am writing this blog. I feel as if more ideas come to me when I am at home. When I write in this class, although I haven’t written much, I feel as if I can write during class. As time goes on, I would like to see how my writing skills progress through this class.

  1. Devin,
    Thoughtful post.

    I like your acknowledgement of how essential writing is not only to our learning, but also to the success of our everyday activities.

    I don't want to brag, but I think my class might be the most important on the campus.

    :)
