I find myself writing on social media sites these days such as Facebook. My writings or 'posts' on facebook are for the purpose of social interaction and connections with friends, family and co workers. I use the posts for things such as making social plans, work plans and keeping in touch with friends and family back home.
I wrote a brief paper for my little sister's friend for her test. I know this is kind of bad thing. But that girl cannot write in English at all. It's a high school English essay for a test. As a college student, I think the topic and the requirement for that essay is very simple. I only used 10 minutes to finish that essay.
And I also dedicate myself everyday on created writing for writing stories, scripts. Some of them are for fun, and some of them are for future production.
Outside of class writing, I often work on screenplays. I wish to work as a screenwriter for television and film so I'm trying to develop my skills as a visual writer. It's a different ball game from rhetorical writing so it takes time to understand how to work a script for you. Since all you have to work with is the visuals and dialogue, you have to figure out how to effectively express character motivation and thought through their direct actions and what they say.
I tend to find myself commenting on news articles and social media sites. I like expressing my opinion on articles or media and debating with others. It's entertaining to discover how my ideas are viewed by others and discover alternate viewpoints.
I also do some writing on my personal blog about projects I am working on and ideas I've had. I find posting my ideas to be a good way to share information and receive constructive criticism. Writing on my own blog also gets my site more views, and thus more ad money.
I haven't really had to write a whole lot for a while. Mainly isolated incidents for different classes. When I do write, it is usually in a library for compatibility purposes, and because I like being in a place that supports getting stuff done, as opposed to sitting in my room or in my college with distractions, or my horn sitting nearby wanting me to practice. There will probably only be three more classes after this where I will have to write, not including graduate school.
Writing has never been my strong suit basically because the words get lost in the transition from mind to fingers. When I do write it is because I am required to do so. I am more of an avid note taker in my spare time. Writing comes to me when I have official business to take care of, mostly with the Army ROTC program here at OU. I write memorandums for my commanding officer to look at. These include instructions for a specific task like how to conduct an after actions review, or AAR. The army has their own way of writing and it can be very specific. One rule is called BLUF, or bottom line up front. Another is called KISS, or keep it simple stupid. I get graded on how I write these documents for the Army in their format.
I find I am doing the majority of my writing for academic purposes. Mostly, my writing comes from notes taken in class, and then added to when reviewing. I spend a good amount of time writing on the computer as well. Facebook and other websites are easy to write on because they only require short thoughts that don’t always need to make sense. Recently I have found myself responding to sports columns.
I myself am not typically a "writer," but have done some writing in the past. A few moths ago, I applied to many hotels in hopes of an internship. I mostly wrote a small paragraph explaining who I was and why I need an Internship from their company. Along with my introduction, I wrote out a guideline resume showing my achievements.
Most Hotels had gotten back to me, some showing real interest. I wrote back to these companies to thank them for their time and the opportunity they have given me. I will make my decision as to which internship I will take later this quarter.
I find that I do the most writing in and for classes and secondly on facebook. I transfered to Ohio University in the fall from Hocking College. While I did a bit of writing at Hocking in my classes, I have noticed that I have done much more in my time here at Ohio U. Every class that I have taken has had a writing assignment in the course. They ranged from short analysis paragraphs on a reading to a research paper for history. On facebook I keep in touch with friends and family. Usually writing about my day or work out routine. I also have conversations through facebook with friends who live and work far away don't have immediate access to a phone. I expect to have much more writing to do in all of my classes for the remainder of my time here at Ohio U.
I don't write very much unless it is for a course I am enrolled in. I typically only write for assignments, which I do on my laptop usually at my house or the library. I have not been required for many courses to write, but hopefully after this course I will become more familiar with different techniques and writing styles. I am anticipating not very much writing in the field I plan to be apart of after I graduate, but would like to improve my writing skills just incase that changes.
I never really think about the amount I write on a day to day basis but if I really do sit down and think about it I write a fair amount. Like most people these days I write on social networks such as Facebook and my Tumblr account. I have a thought book that I carry with me where I jot down quotes, lyrics, things that people say that intrigue me, really just anything that catches my eye. Also, I take notes for class, discussion boards, assignments, etc. I write to keep my mind moving, to remind me of what I learn and hear throughout the day.
These days, I find myself writing a large amount of e-mails for many purposes; One purpose being contacting professors for questions about class and requests for recommendation letters as I set out on my journey of career searching. This brings me to another purpose for the extensive e-mailing which is contacting professionals in my career field setting up interviews, internships, and retrieving company information. I also tend to send out many e-mails for the wide variety of campus organizations that I am involved in.
Of course there is also the wide range of writing that goes on in social media. For instance, Facebook and Twitter have become essential for communicating with friends as well as groups and organizations. Many organizations create Facebook groups and twitter accounts to relay information.
Currently I find myself composing many emails to professors and students regarding beneficiary and scholarship programs with which I am currently involved. This writing has taken a majority of the writing time that consumes my life. I also find myself writing reviews of the literature and critiques of research articles regarding research development classes that are interrelated with my major. I also participate in blogging and discussion boards that are related to clinical judgment and also intimately related to my clinical experience at the hospital I rotate with. I also find myself currently writing along side of the general public on Facebook with friends about things that seldom have any meaning and are often inappropriate with my current lifestyle.
I write almost exclusively electronically, whether for class in a word document or casually on the Internet. As a wildlife biology major the majority of my serious writing is in the form of research papers of my own creation or the critic of published research literature in peer reviewed journals. I also write for the university's wildlife club, of which I am the president. My writing for the club is mostly in the form of informative emails and short posts to Facebook or Blackboard.
My casual writing spans from chatting with friends to long and somewhat professional posts on forums and websites. On the Internet I write about anything from wildlife conservation to the finer points of playing with Nerf guns as an adult.
It has been quite some time since I have written in an English class setting, but I hope my other classes and hobbies have kept my writing skills from dulling completely.
These days I find myself writing a number of different things, and for a number of different reasons. Like many other young adults, Facebook is something I use everyday. Commenting and messaging is often a late night activity for myself, especially when I am supposed to be doing something productive. Twitter is also a site I use frequently. I am a photojournalism student, so keeping connected to both the news and fellow peers is almost an obsession. On a totally different note however, my profession keeps me writing from time to time. Many often think that photojournalists don't write much, but the truth is it is an important part of our job. Photo captions are extremely important to publications. Maintaing both grammatical and factual correctness is a must. Lastly, I would like to note that I have become good friends with my gmail account. On a daily basis I send emails to peers, teachers, professionals, and clients. It has become very clear to me recently that writing emails is an important skill in today's society.
Honestly, I do not have a formal english blog, but i do have some media sites like facebook. i do not often use facebook coz my friends most from China, where the government forbid access this site already. So i would like use other chinese site to write about myself for sharing my current life. Also i use some chatting tools or email to chat with my friends and family.
typically is used to exchange words with friends and/or family. Most all reasons for me to write happen on the internet. I typically find myself on social networking sites, but often I'm finding myself on blogs as well. Most often Ceramics blogs and in response form.
Other than informal writing that happens majorly on internet resources, other forms of writing comes from Ceramic proposals for the major and Artist statements. These writings happen on paper with a pen and then get transferred to a Word Document.
Lately, I have found myself writing on Facebook but that has been very and in between. The only time that I used Facebook to write is when I’m talking to family or friends from high school (to set up our 10 year reunion). The last paper that I have wrote for school was last quarter for stats but before that it had been a couple of years since I had wrote a actual school paper. The most popular form of writing that I do is texting and I fell that this form has started to hurt my writing skills (examples; the use of punctuation, spelling, and structure).
As of late, I find my writing to be less diverse in medium, and purpose. The general bulk of my writing is devoted to various scientific journal outputs. I find Peer-reviewing articles as both an entertaining hobby and a good means to promote awareness of one’s self within their desired work force. The topic(s) are considered dry by some, consisting mostly of physic or tech. programming, but I find the exploration of our own knowledge a fruitful endeavor similar to reading magazines about history or new fashion designs (which I am utterly hopeless at understanding). Another, less common place of writing I utilize, is localized to such places as Facebook, by use as a means to connect and reconnect with friends or family. I also trot in the occasional fictional story writings or poetic prose writings for a personal means of creating a more diverse style to add flare and color within my own papers.
