I am not the best writer I always have a hard time getting my thoughts into words then down on paper in a way for someone else to understand. My first draft is always a mess, just things I think that should be in the piece; most of the time they do not belong. Once I get my thoughts in order I like to write it all down with black ink or pencil on white paper. I hate blue ink I feel it blends in with the lines on the piece paper, even though that sounds crazy. I believe I am not such a good writer because I do not like to read. Reading has never been a strong point for me, if I do not know what a word means ill just skip it. Not asking in fear of looking dumb. With technology the way it is now I have everything at my finger tips so reading has become easier and I plan on reading more this semester. My vocabulary is only common words used in everyday conversation, which is another reason why I do not like to write. During this semester another thing I would like to do is become more confident in my writing. seeing as the whole class will be reading what I write I guess I have to be. As for the screen vs paper issue, I like paper for the beginning then gradually move to the screen. I like to have the screen available so I can check my spelling and maybe to switch out a few words that sound better.  Also I like to have the screen because it makes my work look neat. Especially next  to my chicken scratch had writing.
