I've been writing for a long time now. Ever since I can remember, I liked to write short essays, or long essays, depending on the class. No matter what, though, I would always choose to write an essay rather than take a multiple choice question test. I have never been good at taking tests, but I could write about mostly anything.
I think that's when I decided on an English major. It seemed the most enjoyable, and logical choice.
I am a a very strong writer when it comes to involving emotions. I like to do reflective essays, and motivational pieces of writing. I really enjoy writing papers when it involves something I really enjoy. For instance, last semester I took a Shakespeare class, and I thoroughly enjoyed writing my final on Macbeth, because it had always been a favorite play of mine.
I'm not good at writing when it involves a lot of opinion, or source for debate. I don't like when people read my paper, and because of their beliefs on the topic, they either give me a bad grade, or misinterpret my own ideas and thoughts. As a writer, I know this is something I should work on.
I can't stand when people make grammatical errors, so I like to think of myself as doing a good job at focusing on those areas.

Hi Katie,
That's interesting that you like emotional or motivational writing, but not writing that involves opinion. I'm curious what you mean by that. Do you mean that you like to reflect but not to persuade?
