As a writer my main goal is for my writing to be clear and concise. In past writing assignments I have found that I struggle with how much information to give and how long a summary should be which makes my writing difficult to be concise. I tend to either add too many details or not enough and when I go over and edited my work, I find myself stuck between which information to keep and which to throw out. My writing tends to drag on with no clear focus on what my topic is until the middle then feels rushed and short towards the end. When I write, I want readers to be intrigued by the topic I chose and want to continue to learn more about my chosen topic through my writing. By keeping it clear and concise it will allow readers to learn all the important details about my topic in a quick and easy way. I hope to achieve this by learning writing skills that can help hook them in and keep them interested. I am here because I hope this course will strengthen my skills as a writer and also improve my grammar and writing skills. I hope by the end of this course that I have thoroughly learned and understand the different writing styles and have at least mastered either expository, descriptive, narrative or persuasive style.
