This week, you need to reflect on your diagnostic essay that you wrote (this blog is due 9/26 by 5:00 p.m.). I would like you to think about your strengths and weaknesses as a writer. Just telling me what you want to improve upon is NOT sufficient. All of you have strengths as writers...what are they?
Was it hard for you to write this essay? Why? What would you do differently if you had the chance to do it over again? What would you do the same? Why? Do you enjoy writing? If so, what do you like? If not, what would help you enjoy it more?
As always, your response should be lengthy (see the post about guidelines for blogs).
From now on, all reflections should be done by the date due that I give you in the blog. Just because the due date/time does not fall during our class time does not mean I won’t expect it “on time.” I will check the blogs some time after the due date/time.

Hi Kristen,
I think I already sent a blog on this, but you do not have my blogger address to verify this comment. I love to write, so I am writing another comment anyway. I wish that when I am writing an essay, I can learn how to put my thoughts on paper for another person to understand. I have so emotions toward writing essays. Sometimes I loved to be challenged in putting my critical thoughts on paper. My thought are very personal to me and I believe when I let other people know my innermost thoughts, it would leave me vulnerable. I know this is not true, but I need help in overcoming phobia when creating these kind of essays.
Kristen,
Sorry, I am really behind on these BLOGs. The diagnostic essay was challenging in the sense that I had no clue that's what this class would be all about, analyzing others work. I do enjoy writing. Sometimes it's a mood thing though. When I'm in the mood and have a good topic to write on I could write all day. Other times it's hard to get in the flow of what I need to be writing. At work, when I am writing even a simple email, I tend to be careful with my use of words and make sure over and over again that I am understood in what I am trying to say. I need to use that practice more in what I am writing for this class. So far, it seems to be just putting the words on paper. I don't treat it enough like I have an audience that I am writing to just like in my emails at work.
