Becoming a Better Writer

I believe that I can learn to write well after a lot of practice and good teaching. I have a hard time getting started, but I strongly believe that if I keep on practicing then I can become a good writer. My first draft is usually not very good, but after peer editing and if I talk to you about what I need to work on then I think I can write a well developed essay. I have not been a very good writer and do not like to write much, however I will work hard and try my best to write the best I can. Sometimes I have a hard time expanding on a subject, but Ballenger mentions how to elaborate and add details to make your paper better and not just adding random words to make the paper longer. Ballenger talks about how you should write whatever comes to your mind and believe in what you are writing. He says that believing in your writing is important and can make you a better writer. I think that The Curious Writer easy to read and understand which makes writing seem easy and not something you want to avoid. I believe that I am actually learning a lot from reading that will make my writing improve. I think if I get a good background on how to write an excellent essay then I can apply the concepts in my writing. I feel that practicing and reading The Curious Writer will make me a successful writer. I believe that after this course I will be a much better writer and not stress out over writing.
