Diagnostic Writing

Writing is a quintessential skill in human life, from homework to work assignments to everyday communication like texting. I find that one of my strengths as a writer is being able to write in a creative manner. To me, my word choice is very solid  and I find that I have an interesting way of constructing sentences that make what I write intriguing to the viewer. However, one of my biggest shortcomings in writing would be my many grammar and spelling mistakes. When re-reading my drafts, there are often over-worded sentences with too many run-ons that are littered with simple grammar missteps. As well, I have a grave issue with writing in a passive tone irregularly throughout my essays. To improve my technical writing is an ongoing goal that I strive to meet, but often come up short. I hope that with every english or writing class that I am able to better this skill, even if it is little by little. Another skill I wish to improve during this semester course is being able to write more professionally. I worry that my writing may come of as too casual and not at the college level it should be. I fear that any analytical paper I construct will be not up to par with the professionalism it needs to be. Hopefully, through this semester, I can improve in these areas and in other aspects of writing.
