Writing is the act of using creativity to express your thoughts and feelings on certain articles. There are a lot of techniques involved in making your writing unique and interesting. Many writers obtain bad habits easily and although they are not as simple to break as we think, they can be fixed. Of course there are several important rules that come to mind when thinking about the regulations to writing well. However, there are three rules that stick out to me the most. One of the rules that I feel makes or breaks the paper is certainly the grammar of the paper. If I am reading an article or anything of that type and the grammar is terrible it makes the prospective of the paper change. For example, if the article was talking about something of importance such as the upcoming election and it had all types of grammatical errors many people including myself would not take the article seriously. Another significant rule that comes to mind is for the writer to not skip around with the subjects that they are talking about. If you are reading something that skips from one thing to another it becomes hard for the reader to follow and in some cases it makes the reader not want to even read it. Lastly, the next critical rule is to make the material that you are writing interesting for the writers. Have you ever read something that made you want to fall asleep? I have and it is not exactly something too many people want to read. Making your material interesting and attention grabbing is essential. If it can keep the reader’s attention then your material has been a success.
Writing has always been something I haven’t been as strong at as I would like to be. I think that some of my strengths in writing are that I can be pretty creative with what I write about and for the most part keep the reader’s attention. As for my weaknesses there are many I’m sure, but one of my worst weaknesses in writing is my grammatical errors. I unfortunately make a lot of them that I do not catch which is something that I would like eventually improve on. Therefore as a writer there are more things that I need to improve on to make my writing better and more efficient.

I agree with what you had written. I think that too many grammar errors might not be taken seriously by others. Skiping around to other subjects also is important to look out for. People could get confused easily, and they might loose interest. I also agree that being creative is important. I thought your blog was well written with helpful ideas.
I really like what you say in the first sentence: "writing is the act of using creativity to express. . . ." No matter what you write--fiction, non-fiction, poetry--good writers are creative. It might be how a character is developed in a fiction novel, or it just might be choice of words in a magazine article.
You make a good point about grammatical errors and how readers perceive you. Like it or not, our intelligence is often judged by how accurately we speak or write. I am glad that you are honest about your weakness here, and I am sure you and I can tackle these one-on-one so that you know how to catch them, and eventually, not even make the mistakes in the first place.
