I am confident that I can think critically, and that I can analyze - but writing it still brings trouble for me. When I write, I look to entertain the reader, and I can hardly find anyone interested or entertained by an analysis of how I have proof that educational society is changing with the use of blogs. So when it comes to fluently expressing and synthesizing these things onto a paper in a strict professional format, I still think I fall short. I have no problem fluffing my paper to make it sound good, but I know that the content isn't as good as I'd like it to be. The problem is, when I start getting into further analysis, I feel it gets too boring and pretension with information, and thus I stop.
As for the paper in general, I have no problem highlighting main points, and giving the reader the gist of things, but I find it difficult displaying every acute detail. While I find sense in it, it's because I already have the idea in my head. When I have to draw out every single detail, I lose interest and feel like it is already implied in most situations.
I'm sure I'll get better with this, but it's just certain things that not even a marvel can do. But that's what makes humans human; imperfection.
Yours Sincerely,
Marvel
Haha.. thanks for addressing this issue! I feel the same at times for sure. It's easy to get the main points but to accurately pinpoint each detail can be difficult not to make it redundant! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see that as your challenge with writing for professional and academic purposes. It will be interesting to hear how you can combine your gift to entertain and engage people while sticking to a genre that requires a more serious side. I think if you look for examples of academic writers who do this, you may get some ideas for how to do this better. If anyone can do it, I bet you can. Thanks for bringing your positive energy and sense of humor to class everyday. We all need to laugh in life. :)
