Why didn't anyone tell me that we were
not supposed to use conjunctions in formal papers until my senior
year of high school? What were my teachers thinking? Honestly, I have
never been amazing when it comes to writing but not even knowing the
basics has been a bit embarrassing. As a writer, the comfort that I
feel during the writing process comes when nobody has seen the paper
and I know that I can still get the details worked out to make it a
great paper. I can work with ideas and create my own in order to
compare mine with the opinions of others. I need to work on how well
I present these ideas, as in how the ideas flow together and make for
an intelligent read. Being formal in a paper has also been a struggle
as I tend to write as I would speak. Sometimes I find myself acting
out Sigmund Freud, in that I write in flow of consciousness without
stopping to think how my ideas are coagulating. I guess that is why I
am required to take two composition classes.
