To start off, I am not a very good writer. I am able to write very inspirational things and be very strong with my words, but sometimes i mess up on positioning the words or punctuation wrong. So i believe that critical punctuation and word usage, proof reading, and interesting facts are the three tips to successful writing.
Punctuation can make or break a sentence. If some form of punctuation is used wrong, the story may not make sense or have good meaning. Also, using strong words like transition words definitely helps to make an essay more interesting. It is critical for one to use words that will keep the readers attention on the story and want to continue writing. Now this kind of usage takes time and practice to know how to use different words and punctuation correctly.
All stories may need some changes every time you read it. You may want to change something after it is already published. Proof reading is very helpful to help you find any mistakes you may have in a story. If you just type a story and publish it without proof reading, you may leave many mistakes or find that a phrase does not fit together within the story. So it is very peculiar to proof read before publishing a story of any sort.
Keeping your readers attention is very helpful. Interesting and eye catching words or phrases will help to keep the reader wanting to continue reading the essay. If you use boring words that have been used so many times, the reader might get bored of the story and not want to finish the rest of it. Now if you use some words that are not used often and very well used within the story, you may obtain the readers attention until the end of the essay. So unoriginal words may in fact help to spice up your story to keep the reader wanting to read more.
Now, my weakness in writing is one that I mentioned earlier. I am not so good at knowing when or how to place some of my phrases or punctuation. I can write with very descriptive words but sometimes I am told that they are not placed correctly or do not make sense wherever i put them. Also, punctuation hurts my writing. I sometimes have run on sentences but without knowing this. I may thing that a sentence sounds right but when i have someone else read it for me or grade it, they point out my mistakes. So I know for the next time that I write, I need to be aware of what punctuation to use.
Moving on to my strengths in writing. I can be a very inspirational writer. I use many descriptive words that show my emotions towards a supject and tell how I felt during certain situations.I love writing and I feel that I am very strong on certain promts that I know I have great interest in. I can't wait to show how my writing is when we do our first real promt.

Where's the ol' confidence? :-)
What you say in this first paragraph is sooooo interesting to me, because what you are really saying is that the message is good, but yet, you are not a good writer. This tells me you see grammar is what it takes to be a good writer.
I think good grammar helps a good writer become better, but without a good message or good delivery, strong grammar doesn't mean much!
Sure, you forgot to capitalize your I's a few times in here, and you missed a couple of possessives (reader's attention), but I think if you concentrated more, you wouldn't miss those.
Of course, there are those rules that you might just not know, and that is also where I can help you.
I'll make you a deal: you show me inspirational meaning, and I'll prove to you that the rest comes easier than you think! Deal?
