Every writer has their struggles right? Well sometimes the most important thing is just knowing what they are. I have been giving some thought to mine and although I was already fairly aware of some problems in my writing, reassessing them has shed some new light on areas that could use some improvement. Here are three big ones:
1) Imagery- My writing comfort zone is more black and white. I prefer to write fact-based reports or historical, analytical papers rather than fantasy novels or fictional short stories about some made up character. I've grown up writing non-descriptive papers that restate the prompt and need to implement more details into my writing, as well as further develop my imagination and colorful writing.2) Dialogue- The recent community crots we have been working on in class have really helped me make strides in my dialogue writing, but there is still work to be done! Being forced to write in that format has also made me realize how poor my imagination has been in this aspect in previous years. Hopefully I can continue to develop my skill in this area.
3) Syntax- Although I don't feel that this is a glaring hole in my papers, I would like to continue to develop my sentence structure. Its my desire to learn more and more ways to say things and organize the words in each sentence to find the perfect way to express the message I'm trying to convey.
