mechanics

When writing, I often tend to let my mind get way ahead of either my pen or typing hands. I’ve always been told that my mind goes 90 miles a minute. For some reason I feel that I need to get every thought and detail out as quickly as possible and don’t  always take the time to really think about what I am writing. I would have to say that as far as a weakness goes I think this goes along with organizing topics in a flowing motion. I do tend to jump around from topic to topic at times, especially when writing a narrative to recall events. I will write a sentence and then jump to a different topic based on the previous sentence. As I write I need to be more aware of the topic I am writing about and trying to get the thoughts out that pertain to that topic. I then need to find a way to transition to the next topic so that I am not jumping back and forth.

For my strength I would say that I am good at omitting useless words and knowing when to have a paragraph break. I feel that I am strong at writing sentences that help keep the paragraphs flowing and keep them from seeming to be too choppy.
