Writing Skills

Throughout my life, I have always been a mediocre writer. Although I have improved over the past few years, I still lack creative writing skills which may hinder my analitical writing process. I belive my strengths include my ability to explain and discribe things in a clear manner through my writing, as I have learned to use a plethora of adjectives and transitions to make my writing more clear and articulate. When I am writing a paper, I start by jotting down a list of important points to include in my paper. From the list, I create an outline which lays out the whole paper for me. From there, I write the rough draft in a timely manner to get all of my thoughts out at once, and then finish by polishing the rough draft into the final paper. To get information on my topic, I use a wide array of materials including the internet, books, articles, and sometimes even things such as song lyrics. Depending on the topic, I may use more of one source over another. In my writing, I need to improve on making my sentences more smooth and easier to read. I also would like to be able to use a bigger vocabulary in my writing to make it more sophisticated.
