Reflecting On My Writing

Image Source
Writing is a skill that one cannot perfect. Every single time I write, there is something new I learn. Sometimes it is a writing skills and other times it is about myself. During this summary documentary project I learned about myself that although sometimes I take excessive notes, it pays off. While writing the summary, I had very little issues remembering what happened in Living On One Dollar. There are some issues in my writing other than the usual grammar ones. For starters, I usually never write in the present tense unless I do it by accident. So it was a little harder for me to switch over, but I was more careful and considerate while typing. There was some MLA formatting issues and some odd spacing. So I need to remind myself to look over the paper closer before I hit print.
I would like to be a psychologist. This experience will help me in the future, because it made me write in an unbiased nature. It was interesting and I felt like I had to shut down my emotions so I would not include my own personal opinion.
For next time, I would look at the assignment closer, so I would not misinterpret it. Also, I would make sure to take a good look at the printer preview so I do not have spacing issues. There is something weird about google docs sometimes. I will be certain to double check my work.

  1. So interesting! From your thoughts on genre attentiveness to your future plans! I especially like when you write, " I usually never write in the present tense unless I do it by accident. So it was a little harder for me to switch over, but I was more careful and considerate while typing." Here, I see you developing that mindfulness practice that helps all writers!
