Magazine Reflection Part 2

1. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what improved? How did it get better? Why?
- I believe that I have improved some aspects of my writing, for instance rewriting sentences so that it’s short and right to the point. Most of the sentences in my story were turned around, I could’ve easily shortened my sentences in the beginning by cutting off some words and setting up the sentence to the verb then action form. Through lots of critiques, I learned that writing in that form makes it easier for the reader to understand and it flows a lot better.


2. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what still needs work? What do you think will help you improve? Why?
-I think one thing I still struggle on is getting all my ideas and point structured before actually writing the whole paper. The hardest part about writing is starting everything off. I usually want to start all my writing with the main point and I feel that it's kind of hard making that point precise and clear, for instance in my magazine article, my intro changed from a whole paragraph to three sentences. I can't make up my mind when writing an intro. I'm not sure what I can do to improve, but maybe just pre planning my writing may be helpful as well trying to be more precise and using concert sentences other than pancake sentences.

3. Specifically, show us something that improved and describe the path it took to get better. You can quote your article, your drafts, link to evidence, etc.
