My 10 rules/goals for writing
11. Try to break out of your comfort zone. You know
that you’re good at research papers and things that are logical, and you tend
to psych yourself out about creative things. Don’t feel as much like creative
writing is against you; give it a chance.
22. Work on vocabulary. Look up words that you don’t
know, and use a thesaurus when you become too repetitive. Word choice makes a
big difference.
33. Go to the writing center if you have trouble
with anything. You are very independent and hate asking for help, but sometimes
you will need help. Writing isn’t your strongest subject; so if you need help,
get help.
44. Don’t procrastinate. If you write your assignments
early on, then you will have more time to look them over before submitting
them.
55. Get other people to proof read your assignments.
You make a lot of careless errors that other people will catch for you.
66. Don’t skip steps in the writing process, especially
prewriting. Prewriting helps you come up with ideas and organize them. You
always tend to skip this step and just start writing.
77. Be more descriptive. Details and imagery make
the story. Take the extra time to add more details and descriptions.
88. Get in a quiet place when you’re going to write.
You get distracted very easily, so find a quiet place with no distractions when
it comes to writing.
99. Learn more about semi colons. You tend to use
commas when you should use semi colons, and you only know that because teachers
tell you and computers correct it. Learn it and use it!
110. Learn
how to conclude your papers better. As a kid, that was when you would just
summarize, but now it’s more than that. Make your conclusion/ending count.
