Practice Makes Perfect

In many occasions I was reluctant to believe that things could be learned throughout a period of time with simply practicing. Although I am no fully convinced that this might be the case for every single thing out their, I am certain that for my writing skills practice has proven to be the solution.
As I began to grow as a person I realized that I was also growing as a writer. Gathering many ideas from previous readings helped me develop my own personal style of writing. Many times I feel like I simply get a paper and write with no regard of my subject. This usually informs me how much I really know about the subject. Once I understand what I am lacking I proceed to review other sources that can solidify what I have wrote and make my paper stronger. As you begin to write, many times you feel like you are not making sense, and that may be true. When this occurs I feel that you most likely clobbered your paper with many ideas with no subject or thesis. As you get your paper reviewed you notice your mistakes as well as what it is you are lacking because you take a look at the paper with a different perspective. You know now what your purpose is and what you are wanting to focus on. I feel that you cannot go through the writing process without getting your writings revised at least two times and by two different people. Through the course of the years I have found my weakness to be papers where the subject and thesis is given. I feel that a paper is going to be as good as you feel about the subject tat you are writing about. therefore if you are required to write about something that you are not fully informed of or interested in your paper is most likely going to be what I call "sourced out." This means that you will be relying heavily if not excessively on sources throughout the paper.
Learning how to write is not a quality that one can acquire overnight. To me it is a piece of art that with time only gets better and better. Until the time comes when you can easily replicate that drawing time after time with less and less revising and editing. that to me is timeless...
