Class Introduction

Hey everyone, my name is Christiana Addy(she/her). I also go by Cece as a nickname. My intended major is Business.

In this class, I am excited to learn new skills in terms of constructing different forms of writing. I am also looking forward to having conversations with other people in the class and seeing their point of view on different topics. At the same time, I’m anxious about peer editing as well as running out of ideas and facing writer’s block. In my opinion, for something to be considered “ good writing”, it should have a clear sequence. For example, it should be easy to notice the start, climax, conflict, etc. It’s important to be able to write well because those skills eventually affect the way you speak. If someone would like to be considered a “good writer”, I feel as though they should have a strong ground in terms of organizing their work or letting everything come together smoothly. I find it easiest to decide on a personal situation to write on after being given a form of literature. I can recall all the details which would possibly make my writing even better. The hardest part of writing would be organizing all the details into a proper way for the writing to be read smoothly. I find I often include details that are not necessarily important for the specific writing and end up having run off paragraphs that start up a whole other topic. In business, I assume I would be expected to construct pieces reflectinga persuasive essay. Being an effective writer can help me know which words to use and which I shouldn’t when creating essays to present to a panel of people or in advertisements that thousands of people will see. It can also help employers acknowledge my use of vocabulary and identify qualities that make me stand out.

    I feel that organization is a area that I also struggle with because it all depends on your style of writing which my English teacher last year explains to me always changes depending on what I learn to add information or that information that I would add that I would need to take away because it wasn't needed to be in essay I was writing or speech I would be giving to the class.

    I also worry about getting writer's block. I sometimes am able to come up with an idea, but get stuck on completing those ideas or making it make sense.
