essay writing

Writing can mean whatever you want it to mean to you. You can write for fun, for school, or any other reason you would just write. When it comes to me and writing, it is just mainly for school. I wouldn't say that I am an accomplished essayist. But what makes me better is when I have a friend or a parent or a teacher read my essay or writing piece and give me constructive criticism. The things that these people write when they critique me is stuff pertaining to literary analysis. Sometimes you can obtain a habit of your writing that is always bad. You don't know it but other people notice it. When people tell you what you are doing wrong you can fix it and thus become a better essay writer.

There are many things that I need to work on when I write my essays, because to be honest I am not the best essay writer. You would know that if you have read any of my work. A thing that I need to work on is my vocabulary. I always try and use big words so my essay sounds sophisticated but it doesn't always work as planned. Another thing is my transitions. This kind of mixes in with my vocabulary because the transitions I use are the same ones I have used all my life haha. Sometimes I can kind of swoop in and smoothly roll into the paragraph but I definitely need to improve on that.
