Title: Are you a good writer?
Post by: camellia0 on March 03, 2018, 09:33:45 pm
I returned to college and I guess because I text often on my phone that my grammar is not the best and punctuation. Things sure have changed with writing since I have been in school years ago.

I would not call myself a professional writer but I can write well. I'm no expert at it.

I like typing in a flow......really easier from time to time than actually talking to someone, and they can get to it whenever they want with what you might be saying. Some coffee and something to communicate, my >insert term here< can get a little batcrazy. Storys really need to be something different to keep wanting to come back to the same thing. I had couseling for that.......you know? I say no....I'm not a good writer, mainly cause I really haven't written anything to prove myself wrong.

I used to think I was a good writer.  But the older I've gotten (and a bit lazy-cuz ur rite texting has trained our brains to be laxed) I guess I'm more of a good story teller.  Although my audience must be board with my stories cause I'm usually cut off... I seem em' shifting to get away (or I'm shifting to get away) So it boils down to no ... I'm not a good writer.  I had even taken classes in journalism because the idea of writing entertained me.

I can write well, but I am by far no expert at it. I did well in my writing class in school. :)

Actually I am a good writer and have been since I was young.  I now write freelance modern Haiku.  My company's name is Seventeen at Seventy!

I'm not a professional, but I think I'm okay at writing.

I'm not the best writer, but I can hold my own. I don't text too often though so that doesn't influence the way I write.

I try to talk in proper English and stuff, but I'm sure I'm messing up things left and right.  I end in prepositions all the time, I split infinitives, and other things.  I figure as long as I can get my point across to others, the rest of that doesn't matter as much.  That's the whole point of writing anyway, conveying your message to others.

I wright stories that I think are pretty good sometimes. I use to write songs all the time but I stopped sometime ago. I still think they are pretty good songs but I am the only person that really understands what they are really all about.

Haha no way, I am not a good writer. I can never seem to come up with the right words to say.

I think I'm a fairly good writer. I did well while in school at least  :glasses-nerdy:

I'm still a fairly good writer I think.  When I was in high school my English teacher told me that I should consider becoming a professional writer but I never pursued it; wish I had.  I often wonder what my life would have been like as a writer.

I used to love writing short stories when I was a child. I remember wanting to be a writer.

You're right; things are rapidly changing every year.

I returned to college and I guess because I text often on my phone that my grammar is not the best and punctuation. Things sure have changed with writing since I have been in school years ago.

I hope so. I wrote a weekly column for the local newspaper for decades. Now I write for my church newsletter.

I was better before the computer and iPhone became the most used mode of communication  ::)
