There are many skills that I want to acquire within this semester to become a better writer. i need to begin learning the steps of writing a paper. All the steps needed to writing a successful paper include the first thought. Then to organize the paper and going through the writing process. after writing i nee to learn the editing process of what to look for and how to correct them. The editing process is very important because when writing the paper it may seem to flow but after revisiting the paper it may look unorganized. The next skill I want to develop is to be able to write longer papers. Ideas sometimes are not enough to write on a parer and sometimes need more detailed writing. I paper needs to be the proper length but also needs to be well organized and flow. the ideas can't seem to be repetitive and for the reader to seem like he is reading something new every time he reads each paragraph.
I want to learn what to do when you get stuck writing a paper. At times you are writing any your ideas run out and you don't know how to take the next step. I want to learn how to battle that and to be able to write a proper paper. This also includes finding the topic the paper should be about. A topic needs to be one that you can write a whole paper on and not something to broad or narrow.
I want to lean the different styles of writing in accordance to voice, tone, and level of formality. Different papers sound and make you feel different and i want to learn in which situation how to write a paper properly.
I want to have the skill of properly critiquing my and or someone else's paper. I want to learn the ways of identifying a mistake and effectively conveying the proper way to handle a error. Writing a lengthy paper is not the goal but a paper that conveys a strong message in a proper format is more desirable.
