Think about your past experiences with writing (which may include the experiences you have had in this course). What advice about writing did you find most helpful? Why? Please explain the context that led to this advice. You may also tell more than one story about your writing experiences.
The objective of your discussion is to consider the advice of other writers and how we can always improve our writing by listening to others. Further, you are sharing that advice with your reader by reflecting upon the experience.
Remember, as always, that this writing should be a positive and constructive experience for everyone. The idea is that you reflect upon the process so that you understand it, understand yourself as a new student writer, and understand the challenges and successes you experience.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS)
CLASSMATE’S POST
I would say my past experiences in writing and how my writing skills have grown started very early in life. At the age of 16, I began by writing out the dictionary manually. This was before the internet was popular and accessible, and I wanted to improve my vocabulary which would in tun improve my writing abilities. This, however; did not address the methodology of writing, how to combine sentences coherently, how to tell a story effectively, etc. This training came much later in life, and in an odd format. As i made my way into corporate America, I began to utilize email as my primary form of communication, and I took several courses at my company that spoke to how to write emails effectively, which in a sense, spills over to every day writing as well. This is the only formal training n writing composition, other than college courses, that I have had, and I found this to be very effective.
