My Strengths As a Writer

As a writer, I would consider my strengths to be in my word choice and the way that my voice comes through in my writing. When I am writing I like to look for ways to replace dead words with words that the reader's senses will respond to. Instead of saying fun or boring I replace those words with lively or dull. Strong word choice brings many positive effects to writing. I feel as if my word choice has improved throughout the year and I would consider it one of my strengths. 

Voice also plays a very important role in a person's writing. Voice is what gives a piece it's personality. The writer's opinions, personality, and stance on the topic come through in the writing's voice. I like to use voice in my writing to express how I feel about the topic but not in such a straightforward way. The reader can pick up my voice in my writing through how I state things and my style of writing. Besides word choice and voice I would consider organization, creating powerful introductions, and using vivid details to be my additional strengths as a writer.  I have gained many of these strengths this year in English and I hope to continue to strengthen my ability as a writer.
