This week, in all my classes, we've been doing a whole bunch of writing. I really love writing, but I have a very hard time focusing on the topic in which I chose. My brain generates so many ideas that I end up slowly trailing away from my topic because I'm finding ways to tie in another example so instead of erasing all my work, I can just hit word count while writing about something else plus the topic I chose. My pieces are usually overly long and drawn out, and I while I'm writing them, I just hear my teacher's voices in my head reminding me to stick to the point, have a concrete statement and make sure it's tied in together. I really need to work on that this year so I can excel in my writing abilities. I believe that if I keep practicing and writing way more and have more variety in what I write instead of just reflection pieces, I know I will be able to reach my goal in getting my point across in less than the million words of rambling in which I write. My mission is to write a different piece every week and find people to edit it and make corrections and find ways to shorten it, then I’ll rewrite it and compare. After I compare the two, I will write a reflection on that about what I learned and how to make my writing better. I need way more focus.
