Am I a Writer?

I believe it can be very difficult to grade or analyze yourself on personal skills. If someone asked me if i considered myself to be a writer, I would most likely say no. I do not exactly enjoy writing, or think I am good at it. It is mainly just something I do when I have a assignment due for class. I hope these weekly blogs will be something that I enjoy and look at as a fun opportunity to work on my writing skills, and not just another mandatory writing assignment. Some of my strengths as a writer would be coming up with good ideas for my pieces of writing, and connecting with the audience. Some of my weaknesses are not having detailed enough writing. I think that my writing is sometimes very boring, and needs to have more descriptive pieces to intrigue the audience. This semester I would like to take a huge step in my writing abilities, and to go outside of my comfort zone writing wise. I truly believe these weekly blogs will help me take that leap. I really want to work on making my writing more descriptive, without adding unnecessary details. I also don’t like writing outside my comfort zone, so writing about new topics and new ideas will be good for me. So, overall I am very excited to see where this semester of writing will take me, and I am really looking forward to these weekly blogs.
