My Writing Weakness and Strengths

My Writing Weakness and Strengths

Do you like writing? Well, writing is an activity that can help us to improve our imagination and creativity and it is the mental work of inventing ideas, thinking about how to express them, and organizing them into statements and paragraphs that will be clear to a reader. Writing is an important aspect of our life that I learn since 20 years ago.  When I was a child, the lesson that I study after listening and speaking is writing. At the first time I used to write on wall of my house, and almost all of my wall full of my writing. Now, writing is needed to help me in process of graduation. In fact, success in writing does not get with an easy way. I must have strategies and make my weaknesses became straightness on writing.

Have you ever lost your idea when write something? This problem is lack of idea, and it is one of my weaknesses of writing. For instance, when I was in senior high school I followed the examination. At that time I should write an essay on three paragraphs. I wrote and wrote sentence by sentence carefully but suddenly my friend calls me to borrow something. Sadly, when I will continue my writing, I lost my idea; I forget all off the thing that want I wrote before. In short, I wrote the same idea in the next paragraph, because of that I got a low mark.

The next problem that I have in writing activity related with my personal habit.  When I am lack of idea to write something and there is people who disturb me while I am writing, I will be lazy to continue it. It will hard to call back the idea that ever I had. In this situation I prefer to sleep and play a game than focus to continue and write my essay. Sometime I told to myself “tomorrow I will write” but in fact I am lazy to do it. This problem makes my writing bad and I am late to finish it.

My other problem is having less vocabulary. I usually tell and explain the idea in my paragraph with the same vocabulary. It occurs because I just remember and know a few of word. When I write with standard and maybe a bad one, I will not confident to publish it. Sometimes I put my writing essay under my friend’s essay when my lecturer asked to collect it. In fact I know my lecturer will read all of her student tasks, including mine but I put it at the back or last position.

On the other hand, I also have strengths in writing. Each of people has their own strengths and it is dissimilar with other, my strengths will be different with my friend’s writing and it is depend on our personality and our knowledge. For me, love writes something and always writes my activity in diary is one of my strengths in writing. This habit makes me easier to explain and distribute ideas in each paragraph. So I only have to keep practice and keep write because I have experience in it.

Addition, because of my habit in writing I was trained to play the imagination in every situation including in writing activity. The imagination is something that I need to improve the idea. So I believe I will be a good writer if I can control and manage the strengths that I have.

In conclusion, all of us have weakness and strengthens in writing activity. So each of us should do a strategy to change and handle the weakness that may disturb us for writing. For me lazy, lack of idea and cannot focus on writing become my weakness but I believe I can write a good essay with my strengths on writing.
