Starting this course I am most excited about improving my writing skills and improving my work ethic. The one thing that really makes me nervous about this course is the fact that we have to write very long papers. That only scares me because I don’t know how I can talk about something for more than 3 pages. I think the most important qualities of being a good writer is being able to tell a good story, keep a readers attention, be informative, and being able to stay on topic. I think in order to be a good writer you must fail and learn from your mistakes. You get better with criticism and by reading other writers work. Everyone should try being a good writer because its a skill that can be incorporated in everything you do in life, no matter the job. Personally the easiest part of writing for me is the writing itself. The part I struggle with the most is starting but when I get the general idea of what I want to talk about I’m able to write about it easily. During this semester my main goal is learning how I can start papers and generate better ideas. I am not completely sure what my career field will entail but for my major which is economics, writing can help me gain a deeper understanding of economics and the importance of it.
