For this first post, just write 100-200 words about your experiences with writing in the past. How do you feel about your own writing? What have you done in writing classes in the past? What would you like to work on in this class?
Writing , to me, is a required art form to anyone who would like to be heard. It is no secret that a person's eloquence and sophisticated style gives him/her a considerable head start for both superior persuasion and clarity. Writing is a skill that not only has to be honed like any other, but one that has to be mastered to the extent to which its becomes fluent; style and all, a part of everyday writing. I feel that my own writing is one of great potential but still very unfocused. I am a lover of unique styles and wordplay, but I need instruction in areas of focusing my pieces. I am a creative person, so I love experimenting but often this leads to a very haphazard end product. In past writing classes, I have written many essays, analyzing literature (Shakespeare, Other poems, novels, etc.) and even discussed style in my AP Language and Composition class. In this class, which I feel will be a very interesting one, I would like to make my writing abilities clearer and more effective. I love speaking to people and explaining my views, so I would like to improve the way my thoughts come across to others. I strongly believe in the power of writing and I hope this class will portray my personal style with more clarity.

Excellent. Ability with wordplay is good but, yes, it needs to be honed so that it works in effective ways. We'll work on that, especially early in the semester. Toward the end hopefully you'll feel more comfortable fitting your creativity into various forms more effectively.
