Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing. I learned from the other unit one authors, Joseph M. Williams and James E. Porter, that when an essay is read by someone who is looking for grammatical error or plagiarism instead of content, they will often find the error and ignore the content. Although I do still know the importance of grammar and originality, this class and the grading style has let me put those constructs in the back seat until the editing process, instead of making them something I had to constantly worry about. I don’t believe that good writing revolves around grammar, but rather how well your words can convey a message to the intended audiences.
I do not have any misconceptions about writing I'm just very out of practice and I'm sure with time it will become a lot easier and feel more natural. I need to focus on staying on topic, grammar and punctuation. I tend to go off topic once I get another idea something similar but not part of the idea I was going for in my paper. In order to improve this weakness is by keeping my ideas organize will help me stay on topic After reading chapter one it gave me a new motivation to learn about writing. I have always just gave myself the excuse that I am not a good writer and that’s how I am going to live.
When starting with others say you should except that other may not care for what you say causing controversy. It doesn’t always have to start out with a disagreement, but using other resources to start out a paper is always useful because later in the text the reader gets to see if you dis/agree with what others say. Once you have used what others have said be sure to continue it later through out the text.

How I currently approach the weekly readings in the course is first by finding out how many pages I have to read. Once I determine the page size, then I decide how much reading I can handle in one night. At times, I may have to break the reading up into two days in order for me to completely comprehend what I have read. Once I begin reading, I also have to take mini-breaks in order for me to stay engaged. This is the best approach for me to take because I only have time to complete my reading at night, when everyone is in the bed.
That triggered me and I wanted to check my email, but I told myself that I will wait until 3 because I had just checked this morning. I managed to control this time. Around 3:15, when I was having my lunch reading news on CNN, I again wanted to check my email. This time I did because I am trying to cut it slowly by reducing the number of times I check my email. There were 4 new emails, and this time I also checked my boyfriends email.
The audience is a major factor when it comes to how your approach should be. If you are writing to a group of friends and family members you probably will not have to be so specific, you can put it in terms that you know that they will understand. If you are writing to a group of people you do not even know, you should make sure your writing has more detail and is more formal. It is also good to know what kind of response you want back from your audience. Genre is a kind of writing such as a proposal, a report, a letter, a profile, a poem, ECT.
Dillard believes she must make her writing interesting, if it is dull people won’t read it. She also knows she must decide what to put in her writing and what to leave out, depending on how people would react to it. Faulkner doesn’t even think about that kind of stuff, he believes you should write about the emotions we experience and “help him endure and prevail.” Each of these duties are completely different, but yet, they both make sense and to help them
If you somehow manage to wake up in time to rush to class, not only are you some sort of superhuman, but you can just take your sweet time. No parents are going to rush you anymore. Even if you are some miracle worker and make it to class, make sure to sit in the very back where it's hard to see and hear. Now that you have mastered the art of avoiding classes, let's discuss studying.
