I wish to be immersed in my work and have all of my thoughts and ideas fill the page. I want the words I write to have an impact on the reader. In my writing workspace, I want to have all the materials that I need at my disposal. As I write, I want to be organized, so I can write effectively and efficiently.

Currently, all of the materials that need for writing are in not in my writing workspace. As of now, I have access some materials, but others are either in another room or not available to me. For example, when I write an essay I like to print out each draft, and then write my revisions on it. I do not have a printer in my current writing workspace. The printer that I use now is in another room and is usually occupied by someone else's printing jobs. Having another printer at my disposal would make my writing process much more straightforward. Another resource that I would like to have is additional multicolored pens and highlighters. Further colored pens would help me see each separate revision and edit that I write on the paper. I would also like to add a stapler, three hole puncher, and folders to my space which would help me prepare my work for publication. Having extra materials available to me would improve the revising, editing, and publishing parts of the writing process and would help me stay organized as I
In today’s society, we are leaning more toward a keyboard than classic handwriting, which is becoming a horrible idea. If we redirect and depend on computers for everything and they all stop working because we were holding them to a higher standard our world would come to a huge problem. Technology is always having difficulties, between jamming and not turning on all the time it will become a big waste of time. In today’s society if you have a paper due it should be handed in using MLA format, typed.
On days where I couldn't write with a pencil and paper, I would type notes in class instead. There was always an alternative that made it possible for me to accomplish the goals I

Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.
In this essay I will review how I have improved as a writer, my greatest challenges, and how has my writing changed from how it was at the start of class to now. Reflection is a powerful thing, I can still remember how it felt being asked to write an essay on my first day of class. I was so scared, would I be able to use correct punctuation and how bad will it affect my grade if I am not? I was so excited when the professor said it was just to see that we can write conformed sentences not to critique our grammar and punctuation.
So what is the soloution to this problem? Schools should digitize student resources. All of students ' textbooks should be online, and students should be able to access it from home and school, on any electronic device. Workbooks, writing papers, and any other writing assighnments should be typed on a computer, ipad, or other devices. This change will benifit everyone.
Western Washington has a diverse and well trained group of writing centers. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Central Washington University, Highline Community College, Shoreline Community College, Tacoma Community College and University of Washington Bothell . The goal was to find out what the writing centers are using for training, and how the centers operated. The four centers I visited, and the one center I interviewed, were extremely welcoming and have a diverse variety of extensive training programs. Observations of these writing centers enlightened me with an overwhelming amount of information.
As I relate back to this, I have had experiences where using new technology—the typewriter compared to the Net in this example-- where it has put efficiency and productivity in the front lines, creating a more comfortable environment for me to learn and to understand a subject to its fullest
I have always found writing hard but now I enjoy it more. I 'm not going to lie and say that it 's easy for me because it 's hard. I get lost with my thoughts a lot. What I say sounds way better then when I put it down on a paper. I have been wanting to write a small book of something.
Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
Writing has always been an issue but yet interesting subject of mine. As hard as I try and write essays, and papers I just can’t get the hang of writing. But after taking this class, I did learn different writing technique and improved my writing proficiency, material body of formatting, and how to uncovering and properly use sources. Through class exams, essays, and a research paper, I was able to learn new writing skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, my writing still needs improvement.
Over the this past semester in freshman composition I have learned how to write a college level paper. Going into this class, I was a little unsure and scared that I wasn’t going to be able to do the things that were required for me to do. As the semester passed I could definitely see a change in my writing. I learned how to use the appropriate punctuation, how to write and refute an argumentation paper, which I believe is my strongest piece of writing and how to research and gather information to write a strong research paper. I knew coming into this class that I was going to struggle with my punctuations, word choice, and the overall flow of the paper.
ENG-122 Reflective Essay My writing process has changed tremendously over the course of this class. I feel more accomplished, confident and I feel sometimes that my ideas and thoughts just come in to my mind out of nowhere and I start writing about anything now. I pay attention to my punctuation and grammar more as I have polished them more now, not only when I write but then others write as well. I am constantly looking for errors and I highly think this is helping me a lot in my career.
What does writing mean to me? Writing means getting people engaged in your piece. It means people wanting to keep reading what you wrote. The biggest thing about writing to me is expressing your thoughts and letting your mind go. Using good word choice and having a strong voice in the writing is something that makes it good.
Academic success to me is achieving good grades and understanding the material to get good grades. Academic success also means to have an good attendance. I already get mostly A’s and B’s, but I am not good at staying on top of things. To improve my academic success I will attend class more often, be more organized, pay attention in class, and not procrastinate.

In my perfect workspace I would have all the materials I need to write effectively and efficiently.
