This is not something that I like to do!

Writing is like creating a new recipe, you just start with one ingredient at a time.

Writing for me is just always wried. I am dyslexic, but have never been offically diagnosed so I can't get all of the help that most can get. I first really learned how to read when I was 13 years old, so reading and writting is still something that I am really trying to learn. I may be a few years older then most in the class, but my reading and writting is not as good. So when I start writing a paper I don't always do the typical way of writing. Sometimes I will write the thesis for my paper last, or start writting my paper by writting the conclution. I never really do it the same way that everyone else writes. When I am writting the things that I have found work best for me is to find some wried and unusual thing to start me off with writting, or just picking a subject that I really feel passionate about and then I can really start writting. When I have to revise a paper nine times out of ten I will email the paper to my mother and we will sit on the phone for 2 hours going over my paper word by word revising it. Sometimes we miss things, but she understands how my mind works best so she can help me in revising what I have written. Writing is not something that I really like to do, or will sit down and do a lot of. If I can, I will avoid writing at all cost, but I have to take this class for generals so I am taking it. Hopefully I will learn to like writing a little more, and maybe even get better at it by the end of summer.
