Personal Narrative: My Mistakes In My Writing

244 Words1 Page

Oops! Not again! It seems every time you write a paragraph you mess up, with the most obvious mistakes, like comma misplacing, transitions, conventions, and sentence fluency. In the past I have made quite a few mistakes in my writing. Hopefully, I can fix my weaknesses. First of all, sentence fluency. Trying to phrase something that is very hard to phrase can be somewhat difficult. I can try to improve this weakness of mine by writing what I need to phrase on paper first, then work with it for a while until I figure it out.

  • Ap Language Memo

    275 Words  | 2 Pages

    While reviewing my first memo the three main issues that I saw was the unnecessary use of verbiage, ineffective use of transitions between sentences and paragraphs, and remembering to completely flesh out each test in the rule proof. The most helpful thing I can do in to help myself is just to reread my paper multiple times and even maybe have my peers to look at my paper with fresh eyes. Being concise and to the point is clearly my biggest problem. I have started to edit my paper down multiple times on different days to cut down my extremely long and over complicated sentences. I also think that if I go sentence by sentence then it will be easier for me to cut down on the words that are not needed for the sentence to make sense.

Also, I tend to use the ending paragraph to just repeat myself, so overall my first and last paragraphs are usually shit.

    When it comes to writing a paper, letter, thank you card, etc., it is difficult for me.

Also, it must sound cohesive and convey the important points regarding the topic discussed in my writing before I move on to the next paragraph. However, if the paragraph doesn’t flow smoothly, I address those issues immediately before I proceed with the rest of my writing. I always make sure I edit a paragraph before I move on to the next. This has helped me reduce many senseless errors that I often overlook when I proofread the entire document.
