What do I do well?

  • Throughout my writing career, I have enjoyed many aspects, however few of those reside on the academic level. More of a fiction and poetry writer, I've always found research papers to be a bit of a hassle, but over time I've become better. As for writing on the academic level, I feel like I am good at analyzing given texts and putting a unique spin on my writing.
What would I like to improve on?
  • In this class, I would really like to learn to better my paper writing technique, and more specifically, become more creative with it. Throughout high school and college, many of my professors have promoted the commonplace 5 paragraph essays, and I would really like to learn how to write a paper without that hackneyed structure. 
What have I composed that I'm proud of?
  • I write a lot of poetry, specializing in spoken word. While 99% of the time my poems end up in the waste basket, the 1% of the time that they don't I feel pretty proud of those little suckers. Though they may not always be on hot-button controversial issues or ever actually be spoken in front of a crowd, there's something special about being able to express emotion through this outlet.
