Entry #1

A previous writing experience that has influenced me is the multiple writing assignments that I had to complete while taking AP English Literature and Composition. These many writing assignments helped not only with my writing resume, but they provided experience for me. Prior to taking this class, I normally only wrote anywhere between three and four pieces during the school year. However, AP Lit caused me to have more writing beyond the normal final papers for classes. I normally had a 2-4 page paper due every two weeks, on average. Therefore, my writing skills increased as I learned to employ grammer properly and how my message could be written much more clearly and effectivly. This has changed me as a writer in the fact that my writing skills, in my opinion, and by my grades, have become better. I believe this because I got practice in the writing process of planning, writing, and editing as well as writing enough that it is not a major ordeal to write a paper. Hopefully, the skills I learned from these assignments will help me in my academic writing because I know how to write properly, or so I hope, and that I will learn even more writing skills to make my writing stronger and better. I also plan to begin writing earlier so that I have more time to revise and edit as many of my writings were done the night before and received poor grades on grammer and structure.
