I Rate Myself As A Writer: A Critical Analysis

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest), how comfortable do you feel with your writing skills?

I may not be the best writer there is out there but I do put all of me into each piece I develop. I believe in giving it your all at all times. If your giving it anything less why try at all. I'm huge on that theory and I believe it means a lot more than I believe it to be. I hope that each piece I submit this semester is nothing less than my best and I hope to take in all the criticism and use it to my advantage.

Many people have never considered, in-depth, the idea of what makes a good reader. Surface level first idea that pops into many people's’ heads is someone who can read fast and understand the text. In reality, the definition is debatable and much more complex. Being able to define a good reader allows for us to have a goal or guideline of what we, as individual readers, should be doing or striving to do. Some view a good reader as someone who can analyze and really dig into the text, while others argue that the reader should really have a passion for reading and enjoy the text.

The main thing that I feel that I need to improve on as a writer is being able convey my thoughts properly when putting the down on paper. This to me seems to be one of the most important things when it comes to writing. I feel that the reader must know exactly what it is I am thinking or what the point is that I am trying to get across to them when I write something. If they are not picking up on what it is I am trying to convey to them, then I think that I am, in a sense, failing as a writer. On the other hand, when someone can pick up on exactly what it is I am trying to tell them in a piece of my work, then I feel that I have succeeded in my assignment or whatever the task at hand is at that time. In my honest opinion, making sure the reader

What kind of writer am I? That’s a trick question for which there is not a satisfactory answer. My experience with writing has never been my favorite. In fact, English has always been my least favorite subject. Studying math and science is what I enjoy; these have come rather easy for me. English, for some reason I will never understand, has always required extra effort for me actually to do well. Sure, there have been plenty of times that I have been required to write a few research papers, several literary analyses, and numerous essays; but I have more weaknesses than strengths as a writer. My writing experience has, and will probably stay, limited to papers on given subjects assigned to me. Besides school work and possibly my field of work requirements, I will most likely never delve into any other form of writing. I am positive that there are more like me: more people that struggles with English writing. I have wondered why there were so many English related tasks in school. In doing so, I have grown to execrate the subject without becoming fully aware of its future benefits. Although I may have never been a devoted writer, I do realize the profit of being a good writer along with the advantages that good writers have over me.

I believe I am a decent writer because I struggle with several different aspects of writing that would prevent me from claiming the title of a good writer. Yet I am skilled enough not to be classified as a bad writer seeing as punctuation, spelling, and grammar isn’t really big issues for me. My biggest challenges are the usages of transitional phrases, simplifying my thoughts enough not to ramble on for hours on one subject and writing a good conclusion. For me these three things really stand in my way of being a good writer.

Right now, I consider myself an avid reader. I love reasing, and I am pretty safe to say that I am a high-level reader. I might not be the fasterst, most attentative, or overall best reader out in the class, but I don’t need to be any of those. I’m an exceptional reader and that’s all that matters to me. By the end of this semester, I want to be an even better reader than I am now. Being a “better reader” is an abstract idea, one that can’t be measured. By “better” I mean that I want to be a faster reader, and that I want to widen my vocabulary. My minnimum goal is to keep my reading level at the college level

Reviewing yourself as a writer may seem like a simple task. However, when you take time to put some thought it’s not easy. Especially if you consider yourself a boring writer. From elementary school until now, I can recall having the most basic boring writing. I’ve gotten by until my first semester of college. I walked into a whole different world and was told that writing meant everything. My professor would always talk about boring writers and gave examples; as I sat and listened, I began to realize I fell deep into that category. It felt as if she was just trying not to announce my name but I knew she meant writers like me. With this in mind, I knew things needed changing.

I want to become a writer when I was a small girl. I have learned that if I want to turn the writer, I need the qualities such as observation, patience, discipline and the love of writing. First of all, I have to observe everything in my own life then notice all of them carefully because it is helpful materials I can use later. Furthermore, it is necessary to read and re-read to see how the authors develop, arrange their problems that is another essential form of observation. Secondly, I need to learn how to be patient in any time as writing is not easy stuff. There are some days you will see the end is so far away as well as you realize that the worst things with the writer are a empty word. Just keep patience and writing! To write anything

I never would have considered myself as a writer but now that I think about it I write about things all the time. Sometimes I write about what I’m doing or what I have done that day but everyday its something different. The way I write is through texting or sometimes in a journal before I go to bed. Even at work I write things done to remind me of what I have to do then I check it of my list. A good example of writing everyday is when I have school. I’m constantly writing notes whether it be in math class or my diversity class I am still taking notes.

I'm Portuguese, born and raised, and have studied the English language for more than 18 years, having great experience as a writer, including blogging, copywriting, technical writing, and ghostwriting.

My best writing experience I had in my life was back at my first year of college. I was going to Bay College in my hometown to complete my generals before switching to a bigger college. One of my English classes was one I had most enjoyable with due to being able to write stories that happened in our life. I constructed writing a past experience, reliving it word for word brought back good and bad memories. On top of that a few of our papers were making up a story in our mind (mine was about going to Paris) nevertheless making it sound like it actually happened. Hearing other people’s stories they made it was quite interesting. This is why I considered this was my best experience due to the creativity we had.

Before my professor said those wise words to me, I had been quite frustrated with my reading life. I would read and read until my eyesight turned blurry, yet I was speed reading. With websites like BuzzFeed and Goodreads, I kept adding books to my to-read shelf and constantly found inspiration to read. College also forced me to read profusely. I never stopped loving reading, but I began to fall fast into a sea of exhaustion and

I would not consider myself to be a reader. A reader go and purchase books to read for enjoyment. I read information a work such as emails, memos, and letters. I never like reading much but it is important to know how to read. I believe

My reading journey has been a roller coaster from the very beginning. In first grade my life took a big turn when I moved from the Houston area out to New Caney. In Houston, we had just begun to learn to read, and I was right on track with the rest of the class. I felt normal, but when I moved everything changed. I was placed in the lowest reading group, and I was the slowest reader in my class. Then I was tested and place in a reading resource classroom for reading. My self-esteem dropped and from that day I did not like to read. In school I always made good grades, but I always felt like everyone was smarter than I was. It did not help that in 9th grade, they gave us a reading test to find our reading level and I fell at an 8th grade
