Dear Potential Reader


Welcome, my name is Joshua and this is my E-portfolio blog. It is a blog dedicated to the growth and development of writing. Writing is a step by step process, just like riding a bicycle or driving a car, and some steps have to be taken before others. Over time my writing skills had declined do to disuse and neglect. Writing is like a muscle, when it is used it becomes stronger and when not used it becomes weaker. Unfortunately, my writing muscle has gotten very flabby, but this blog will show the development of my writing might.

I recently find myself at a point in my life where going back to college is possible. I am a single parent trying to juggle my child, education, work, and life all at once. This task is difficult and it is very easy to lose sight of my goals. With my fresh start in college I have found myself enjoying writing and becoming a better writer. My last writing class before attending EVCC was an advanced creative writing course in 8th grade. Last quarter I took English 97 to reinforce the basic concepts of writing and to patch any gaps in my education. When I first started English 98 I had never written a research essay, nor had I used a source that needed to be cited. These are just a few of the strength training routines used in English 98 to become a stronger writer.

As you read this blog, you will see my improvements as I progress through my English 98 class and clearly see my steps to becoming a better writer. If you have any thoughts, concerns, or ideas, please leave me a comment on how I can improve my writing ability. One day I will be known as Mr. Universe of Writing but that is not possible with out feedback. Thank you
Joshua
