These were written a number of weeks ago, and it only occured to me now that it ought to be published here, this blog is an opportunity for me to improve my writing, and to do that I, and my audience ought to be aware of my current limitations and awarenesses:
I have a real problem with run on sentences. Specifically I like to use clauses in my sentences, and I end up trying to sound smarter than I am, or worse yet, than my audience is. I have been improving, but I often have to put most of my energy in to making the point I'm trying to mae in a simple way. Then focus on the simple stuff gets lost, and I end up having a ton of drafts, which may or may not be bad. *This problem has since been greatly improved, but I still need to be constantly on the look out.
In pre-writing, make sure that you feel confident in your knowledge of the topic before sitting down to right. Make sure you understand your topic and what you are going to write, and if you don't, do a bit more research or prethinking before starting the essay. Confidence and full knowledge in a topic will make essay writing much easier and smoother. Being unsure about the topic tends to lead to writer's block, or various other problems when you attempt to write.
