The diagnostic assignment was actually kind of neat for me. I find that when I write I am really stressed out at first. I get almost panicky because I am not sure what to write. The text has helped me get familiar with free writing and I notice that I do that. Once I begin an essay at first it is difficult but, then I sort of get more and more comfortable when writing. I get on a role and become very impressed with the finished product. I think this is a strength for me. I can write quickly and then spend several days proofing and tweaking the essay. One reason I really enjoy writing is because I can actually get a thought out in an intelligible manner without distraction. Sometimes when speaking, there are so many variables that by the time you think you have said what you meant; the meaning may have been lost in translation. Writing your thoughts and ideas down gives you the ability to keep a permanent record f those thoughts and ideas and allows you to go back at a later time and change those ideas. I know I have weaknesses as well. Although I am not really sure what they are. Hopefully this class will help me figure out what I need to know. I feel I am an intelligent person. I hope that this class will help me become a more productive and skilled writer.
