My writing identity is defined by the fact that my mom is an editor for the New York Times. Since I first learned the ABC's, she has been actively trying to improve my writing. The NY Times writes as simply as possible to maximize the readers' comprehension and does not waste page space with any unnecessary descriptions. Because of this, I write very simply and factually, but I have always struggled with creative and abstract writing. In this class, I strive to improve my descriptive and creative writing.
Despite these shortcomings, I have always enjoyed writing. Unfortunately, I have done almost none of it in college. I am confident that this class will help me to practice and improve the way that I write!
