First blog: my writing skills
In our first blog assignment we were to read an essay by Anne lamott about her writing methods and how they compare to ours. The way she writes is some what simiar to mine because she just puts all her ideas down on paper even if it doesnt sound good or make sense, it is her first draft so she soesnt care because no one is going to see it. Then she will go back and try to reword it and make it a better and readable paper. So in a way i have a similar writing method as her beacause my writting process is to write down my first draft and try to put all my ideas on paper then go back a fix it to make it a readable and great paper. The way i write would have to be long and tedious beacause im not a very good writer so it takes me a long time to process what i want to write and make it a good paper. In my opion i do not like to write, i have never been good at it and i just dont like it very much. People always say that you are either a math person or english person and i would say i am a math person and not an english person.Im not very good at english and writing papers but i hope to get better. But with this blogging assignments i hope it will affect my writing skills to improve them and make me a better writter.

It's good to hear that you write down all of your first ideas. Many people censor their first ideas because they feel embarrassed or doubtful. Don't worry about how long the process is, just as long as you stay positive with yourself. I think that you'll find writing easier and more comfortable by doing these frequent reflections.
