Writing is something that is often difficult for me simply because I put a lot of pressure on myself. Many times I get worried about not having enough content or covering all the bases so I simply "word vomit" then go back and delete or refine what i originally have. The other thing I worry a lot about is my tone. The common thought for me is "do I sound too smart". Now when I say that I usually mean, does my writing sound superficial. I don't usually talk in common conversation the way that I write so I worry about wither sounding too casual, or not sounding the way people hear me when I speak. That being said, i do try to use colorful language. While I'm not great with sensory descriptions I try to use creative analogies and and metaphors to advance what I'm describing or sometimes put a funny twist on what I'm talking about. I do tend to wait until the last minute even though it stresses me out more than I can express but what stresses me out more is whether or not my ideas are perfect enough or even good enough to put on paper so I don't write much until I'm under such a time constraint that i have no choice but to start and even then I usually don't finish on time. I'm going to focus to improve this though. I have too in order to survive college. That being said, my next two goals will be to improve my descriptive writing and to get more frequent help throughout my writing process so that I don't feel behind the eight ball so much.
