Case Study Numero Dos

English 111 just started so there isn't much to write on about how my writing in the class has progressed. This weeks blog will be focusing on the physical part of my amazing writing skills. Writing for me, since I live at home, is still restricted mainly to my home computer. SOOO, all the writing that you read is done in the comfort of my home. I haven't been able to write anywhere else since I have yet to get a lap top but I'm saving up for when I go off to school away from my house. I can't really compare of what is better and what isn't but from my experiences of writing at my house has a mixed feeling of good and bad. It all depends on how I'm feeling for that particular writing. For example when we did the Travel Essays back in 110, I had a blast doing that and participating in the activities required but like now where we have to read 70 pages to write up a summary, is not all that engaging for me. I'm not much of a reader and on top of that we have to write a short summary on it. I know it's not all that bad but it's the whole getting into it and that flaw, getting engaged, is what is my problem when it comes to writing at my house. The whole writing speed depends on what materials I had for that writing assignment, like this blog, I thought about what I was going to write about and it's only taken me 3 minutes to get to this point. But when I just jump into a writing, that's when the mistakes start happening, I lose my spot, train of thought, and being able to finish in a timely manner. What I like writing on the computer best is that it's much more efficient than pen and paper. The whole writing with two hands instead of one, backspacing, which I do a lot, and what I like best word check. There is much more to making my writing at home on the computer much better but those were the thoughts that came to mind.

  1. Soon, you'll be writing your argumentative essays, so hopefully you'll be able to dig into them a bit more. Think about what made your Travel Essay interesting to you. I'm going to want you to transfer those characteristics to your papers for 111.
