Writing Inventory

When I have spare time, I usually like to spend it drawing, watching television shows, or having a nap. I like to draw to express my feelings rather than write them down because I find it much more fun to draw something creative then write paragraphs. My favorite writer is Ruta Sepetys. She is my favorite writer because she wrote one of my favorite books Between Shades of Grey. It was one of the only books that I was able to keep interest in throughout the whole book because I usually have no interest in reading any kind of book. I find the easiest way for me to write is when I am doing a persuasive writing.

When I do a persuasive writing, I never seem to get a writers block and not be able to constantly think of new ideas. When I am just talking to a friend via text message, I never will run out of things to say because I do not have to worry about it being marked or judged by someone so I can have a free mind. A relatively challenging form of writing to me is an essay. I find essays difficult because I feel pressured to get it done and I am always trying to better my writing so it makes me slower and I find myself rushing at the end to get it done. I get my ideas for writing from personal experiences or connections I make with the topic.

I am currently not working on a piece of writing. I was especially proud of the grade nine writing exam I wrote because I was able to do an exceptional job in a short amount of time. For each assignment, I usually do a brainstorm with one or two drafts with lots of room to fix mistakes. I feel one of my strengths as a writer is being descriptive because teachers have commented on it before. A weakness I have as a writer is strong sentence structure because sometimes I can get off topic or say something that will not make sense to other people. My favorite topic choice would be any hobbies I like because I am passionate about them and I think I could write a strong essay about them. A second writing subject would be animals because it is something else I am interested in. A goal I have for writing this semester is to become a strong writer and be confident in what I write. An expectation I have for this course is to learn as much as possible.
