Let's talk about how I see writing. In the beginning of the class, I was asked about how I see myself as a writer, and my strength and weaknesses. Here was my answer:

"I am weak at writing, especially with my lack of vocabulary and often incorrect usage of grammar....reading is not a thing I like to do either so writing does become a problem for me. I am definitely not a writer, and I will only be motivated to write possibly by grades...To me, writing was once part of learning, but now it has just gotten so complicated and advanced that I treat them completely differently. I don’t feel that I “learn” anything in regards to writing anymore, but instead is criticized of my writing and told to improve it."

I believe that my viewpoint still stands strong. Throughout the two papers this quarter, I wrote draft, then revised them, then revised them again, until it looks like a decent draft. My motivation was my grades. It's not that I don't want to learn how to argue with people, nor is it that I don't want to improve my writing skills. The fact is, as essential as those skills are in life, I am uninterested.

I am particularly uninterested for several reasons. Firstly, my writing has been so-so since the beginning. It has always been my weakness. "Well keep trying and you will get better!" You suggest. That's the second thing. I have tried my best in writing for a while now, and I had been shut down. Lastly, I do not feel the need to learn writing, as I already have my goals in mind: a game programmer. I am very glad I chose video games as the topic, since with that, at least I have something that I know in the class. 

However, through all those distaste in writing, I must admit that I have learnt a few things about it, such as researching, revising, composing, and others, as much as I did not want to. Interested? Look over to the right and see how I have improved in some areas.
