By looking back at all my writing, especially my papers, I have realized that I tend to be a better writer when I don't worry about revising while writing. For my second paper, I let myself rant a little and I think my writing was better. I think it was better because I just let my brain pour out onto the page. This also holds true for my last paper. For my memior I sat down at my computer and allowed my emotions to run onto the page with no restrictions. I wanted to get my unfiltered thoughts down on the page. I've found that over the course of the semester that I need to have more confidence in my own writing. And perhaps that's why with each paper I "free" write a little bit more. Because I have gained more confidence in my own writing. I've also noticed that my mechanics need a lot of work. That was one thing that consistently came up when looking over drafts. However I think that mechanics can be fixed. Over-all I've learned that I need to believe in myself and what I have to say, because I'm really not that bad of a writer.
