Instructions
Think about the type of writing you do in your daily life, especially in English. Do you write for fun? For your job? For school?
In your journal this week:
- Write a paragraph about what type of writing you typically do.
- In another paragraph, write what you think about writing. Do you enjoy it? Dread it?
- Finally, write another paragraph about what area of writing you need to improve most. Do you want to be a better essay writer? A more creative writer? A good business writer?
Be creative! This is your journal, so please use these guidelines loosely. To complete your assignment:
- Share all or part of your journal entry in the discussion area here.
- Then, comment on at least two of your classmates' posts.
- Finally, check off the tasks that you completed (only verified track students will see this option).
Journal Entry
I spend most of my effort in business writing. Composing emails, presentations, strategic plans, and communicating next-steps to end users. Although I would really love to write my own blog and book.
I love ideas and writing provides time to think about them. I dread the initial draft because I have a hard time organizing my thoughts. I also use vocabulary with intent and purpose, not to show off but because it's a better word.
I will improve on clarity by using simpler words, explaining less, and focusing on the subject.
